You're Out Daddy

The night was slowly descending upon them.

Anthony and Thalia were watching the live footage from Natasha’s surveillance cameras in a car parked outside the hospital.

Thalia yawned. “With Kenneth here, your mom will be fine,” she said, turning to look at Anthony. “How about I send you back home first? You’re a growing kid, and staying up so late is definitely not good for you.”

Anthony shook his head and looked at the computer seriously. “There’s no need. I have a bad feeling somewhere in my gut, and I keep feeling like that person is going to appear.” He glanced at Thalia. “If I’m tired, I’ll just sleep for a bit in the car.”

“Today?” She rose an eyebrow. “Are you sure?”

“I can’t explain it, but I keep feeling anxious deep inside. I mean my instinct,” Anthony said.

She narrowed her eyes before nodding. “Okay, if you say so. We’ll just continue watching, then. I would love to see which doofus has been wasting my time these last few days. If I get my hands on him, I’ll beat him up.”

Anthony simply looked at her.

“What?” she asked. “Is there something on my face?” She began to look in the mirror.

“Well, all I can see here are my good looks,” she muttered as she turned her face from side to side.

Anthony shook his head.

“Then what are you looking at?”

“Nothing. I’m just worried for you.”

Thalia frowned in confusion. “Worried? Worried about what?”

“I’m worried that whoever marries you in the future is going to have a headache every single day.”

Thalia was speechless.

She looked at Anthony and was about to spite him back, but she changed her mind. With a smile, she said, “What? Are you worrying for yourself?”

“Why would I be worried about myself?”

Thalia narrowed her eyes and leaned in closer to him. “Maybe you already have feelings for me, and that’s why you thought about something as random as that. It’s alright! I’m only a decade or so older than you. I’ll wait, and once you marry me you get to experience firsthand whether I’ll give you headaches or not!”

Anthony smirked. “Sorry.”
