Ethan was confident holding Jamie, the baby not even close to the length of his giant forearm. He cooed to him and even started singing a lullaby.
Josh wasn’t remotely fazed by it either, holding both of them with assurance, although I suspected he was using his ability to make sure both precious babies were safe at all times.
Alec was still a little dazed when Kyo deposited a baby into his arms. His eyes were a bit wide, his shoulders more tense than I’d seen them in years. He looked down into little Nina’s face and relaxed a bit, a smirk pulling at the corner of his lips, but he passed the baby off to Tyler quickly and heaved a sigh of relief.
Ty was uncertain and looked around the room for help.
“Just make sure you support her head.” Marcus showed him. “And hold her like this. There you go.”
Eventually he eased into it, rocking the baby. After a few moments, he cocked his head to the side and stared off into space as the rest of us chatted quietly around him. Then he smiled to himself, and his knowing gray eyes met mine.
I didn’t know what truth had been revealed to him or if it was even related to having kids—I just liked looking into his eyes. He still gave me butterflies.
“Do you think you guys will have any?” Dot asked from her reclined position on the bed. I smiled at her and shrugged.
Maybe one day, but for now we had each other, and that was enough. We were happy.

CHAPTER ONE
It was such shit that I couldn’t get high.
No matter how many times I wrapped my candy red lips around the joint settled between my thumb and index finger, it did nothing. I was sitting in a cloud of skunky smoke, sucking it in like a bad blowjob, but that weightless buzz humans liked to brag about just refused to hit my brain. I could add it to the list of curses that my abilities gave me. I had my own foul smoke that polluted me from the inside out.
The room was dark despite the twinkling lights strung around the ceiling, blanketing us in a hazy glow as I watched my best friend. “I want to take my clothes off,” Reed said in a dreamy voice while leaning back in a rusted lawn chair. His red hair was curled at the tips of his ears, and his thin lips parted on an exhale of smoke, highlighting the dimple on his left cheek. “I should go streaking.”
I chuckled. He should definitely not go streaking. Reed had one too many strikes against him, and I wasn’t about to lose my only friend in this damn place. “It’s more comfortable here.
