My Dad's Bestfriend

After Bianca's relentless 'barking'—Jacob's words, not mine—we finally escaped the room and sat at the breakfast table. What followed was a long, scolding lecture where she chastised us for acting like children. Jacob, of course, dismissed her entirely, declaring he refused to take advice from someone who was single.

"No," Jacob shot back immediately. "I'll take her. You stay home and do... whatever the hell you do."

"Jerk! I'm the baby's aunt! I have responsibilities too!"

"Yeah? Then go buy baby clothes or something. Doctor visits are on me." His jaw tightened, daring her to argue.

I bit back a laugh and held out a piece of bacon to Jacob. "Breakfast?"

He grumbled but opened his mouth. One bite turned into another until Bianca muttered, "Lazy ass."

Jacob glared. I sighed, smiling to myself. Two big babies and one on the way. This was going to be fun.
