“Hurry!” I cried, hanging up. “Oh no, no, no, baby. You have to wait. Your other daddy isn’t here!” I whined and bounced from foot to foot, watching the crack grow larger. “Shit, shit!”
The kid wasn’t even born yet, and I was already a nervous wreck.
Wesley was like a cannonball when he got home, flying through the front door and dropping his bag while running to the bedroom. “Did I miss it?” he asked, skidding to a stop.
I turned briefly from the nest, reached out, and grabbed his hand to yank him closer. “Look!”
He got down next to me and watched as the final bit of shell broke free and a baby penguin looked up, chirping tiredly. He smiled from ear to ear and put an arm over my shoulders, pulling me close.
“Welcome home, little girl,” I said. “We’re your daddies.”
C.S. POE is an author of gay mystery and romance. She believes that happily ever after is an attainable goal for any character, given enough elbow grease and legwork is provided.
C.S. lives in New York City, but has called a host of different locations home in the past, most recently Ibaraki, Japan. She regrets no longer having easy access to limited-edition candy, capsule toy machines, and clean trains, but over ten years in New York has proved to her there is no place quite like it.
She has an affinity for all things cute and colorful. C.S. is an avid fan of coffee, reading, and cats, in no particular order. She’s rescued three cats, including one found in a drain pipe in Japan who flew back to the States with her. Zak, Milo, and Kasper do their best on a daily basis to sidetrack her from work.
