A baby?
Charlotte’s mind went completely blank for a second.
She’d honestly never thought about it before. Patience had never been her thing, and when it came to kids… well, she probably wouldn’t be great at it. Just imagining a baby crying and crying, impossible to calm down, gave her a headache.
“Not a fan?” Anthony asked gently, noticing her frown. “What if it was our baby?”
Our baby.
Charlotte’s hands stilled on the tablet. She looked up at Anthony, and out of nowhere she pictured a sweet little kid who looked just like him. Big eyes, soft features, a tiny version of Anthony.
Hmm.
When she thought of it like that, maybe the idea didn’t seem so bad after all.
She looked at him, blinking a few times. It took her a moment before she said, seriously, “I’m still young.”
A smile touched Anthony’s lips, soft and genuine. His arms tightened around her, pulling her closer. He brushed his lips against her ear, voice low and warm. “Then I’ll wait until you’re ready, okay?”
Charlotte glanced over at him, catching the hope in his eyes, and felt a little flutter in her chest.
He really seemed to love the idea of having kids.
“Just wait and see,” she replied with a small, serious smile, her eyes narrowing playfully.
Wait and see?
Did that mean yes?
Anthony looked confused, but Charlotte just smiled and turned her attention back to the tablet.
Jackson had sent a message in the group chat. The DNA test results were in her inbox.
She opened the email. The smile faded from her face as she read through the files.
There were two reports.
