Jenner:I hate to be the one to break it to you, Coach, but the virginal act doesn’t work when your wife’s baby bump precedes her into every room.
Asher:It’s always the ones who act all manly that are into the kinkiest shit.
Usually, I enjoyed their antics, but tonight, I didn’t have time to let them keep rolling.
This is serious. I need help with Gemma.
Braxton:From what I heard on the other side of that door at the arena, you seem to have it figured out.
Maddox:Are we still talking about this?
Asher:Wait! What did I miss? Did Goose and Gemma get busy at the rink?
Braxton:Yup.
Maddox:Jesus Christ. Here we go again.
Asher:Damn, Goose, didn’t know you had it in you.
Jenner:I mean, I get it. He needed to turn her first experience at the arena into a positive one after Maddox made an ass out of himself.
Maddox:I am this close to canceling your maintenance day. Keep it up.
Jenner:Nice try. We all know you won’t be able to face your wife if you promise her a day off and then rip it away.
Clearly, they were the wrong choice.
Never mind. Thanks for nothing.
I exited that group chat and pulled up a different one, praying at least one of them was awake to guide me through the unchartered waters I’d found myself in.
SOS.
Pretty sure I held my breath while waiting for a response. After a few minutes, Cannoli settled at my feet, and I sighed, ushering him back into the house.
Guess I was on my own.
Just as I locked the back door, my phone buzzed, and hope lit up inside my chest.
Tessa:*Claps hands* Up and at ’em, ladies! This is the moment we’ve been waiting for!
Dakota:Honestly, I can’t believe it took him this long. I thought for sure after Maddoxgate, he’d come running to us for help cleaning up that mess.
Evie:You have no idea how much I needed this. Teething babies are no joke. Fuck molars.
Bristol:*Rubs eyes* What’s going on?
My fingers flew over the screen, typing out my dilemma, when my group chat with the guys popped up.
Braxton:Did you seriously message the girls?
Maddox:Are you fucking kidding me right now? Bristol just fell asleep, and now she’s awake again.
Jenner:Do you guys have a special notification tone? I’ve never seen Evie jump out of bed so fast to get to her phone when she heard it.
Asher:Yeah, what was that? Some kind of honk?
A grin curved on my lips, knowing exactly what they were talking about.
