Perhaps it was a sign to stop having one night stands, or at least to not meet with them after. He’s not sure w h y he accepted their request to do so as he couldn’t even remember their name, but they’d shoved a child into his arms when he’d gotten there with a quick ‘Her name’s Fey, she’s yours, I want n o t h i n g to do with this.’ as they were as unprepared as he was. Not that he didn’t w a n t kids, he’d just like to know ahead of time. At l e a s t Fey seemed to like him, giving him a warm smile before putting her head on his shoulder. He has to blink back as tears as now was d e f i n i t e l y not the time to cry.
F u c k, what would his roommate think? The thought entered his mind as he fumbled lightly with his keys (thanking whatever higher being that he’d remembered them this time). S u r e, she was good with children, but he doubts she’d want to live with a six month old. Upon finally entering the shared apartment he gently closes the door so as n o t to disturb the kid.
“Qiu, I f u c k e d up. Royally.”
qiu rolled off the couch with a little groan. she had grown accustomed to sleeping on the couch. it made opening the door for danny a lot easier than getting tangled in her sheets on the way. so many things were going through her head: number one, danny fucked up a lot. he needed to be more specific. number two, he had keys? number three, it was a little to earlier for this bullshit.
by fucked up, qiu was expecting a broken bone (okay, that was a little dramatic, but danny was reckless) or maybe buying something whilst drunk, but not this. not a baby in his arms. not his baby in his arms. if it is his. qiu finally came to her sense and scrambled off the floor to stand. fuck fuck fuck. her hovered over the baby. his baby. oh, my god. what was she supposed to do? she was unsure where to put her hands. she hoped this was a prank. that the baby turned out to be a sack of flour. it’s not like she didn’t want children. oh, she loved children. but now? she could barely afford three meals.
❝ danny. ❞ she took a calming breath. ❝ what’s the baby’s name? how old are they? are they fed? ❞
