The night was nice and all, but ould still have fuckin’ bugs to deal with

Oh well

I’d deal with the fallout of those bugs tomorrow

Tonight, I could practically hear the exciteirl’s voice

I hadn’t walked up the walk to see her quite yet, but I could hear her And what I heard had my heart fuckin’ happy

She was singing Or trying to, anyway

Whatever she was doing, she was good, and I needed a roup

Today had been shit

Like total and complete shit

I didn’t even want to get into it

The kid screa in my arms sounded about how I felt

“You got a live one,” Lynn drawled as I walked tohere I could see the guys gathered around the fire pit in the back

I grinned “Beckha on to his hollerin’ little self until his daddy gets back from the main house”

Lynn nodded, his eyes taking nized

Hiro placed his face againstinto rateful as I started to rub his back, not bothering to bounce around since I’d seen hoell that worked for Beckham

“How’d today go?” Lynn asked

I grimaced

“Shit,” I grumbled “We didn’t find whatever it was that you had us there lookin’ for, but we did find so soht now Looking through surveillance”

The thought of soirls and boys to do disgusting things to them in secret made me sick to my stomach

Even worse, we know it’s there somewhere, yet we can’t find where

It’s like a solid weight into my current state of unease

Hiro’s wailing turned to those heartbreaking little sniffles with a cry in between breaths, and I switched direction on his back rubbing, going up and do instead of in circles

My entire hand spanned Hiro’s back

I wanted one of these

I’d wanted a child since I’d first seen Hiro, and he’d given me the idea

But now that I had Catori, I really wanted one One with her long black hair, perfectly bronzed skin, and pouty little lips

Hell, I shouldn’t be thinking that about a woht was there anyway
