    “Wow, man, I didn’t think you’d be this excited about this.   Frankly, I thought you wouldn’t care at all.”
    “Uh huh.”   Romeo moaned.
    “Romeo, what the hell are you doing?”   Anton asked once it started to don on him what was going on, on the other end of the line.   “Romeo!”
    “Oh shit, take that shit!”   Romeo said as he held her hair and pushed himself in just far enough for her to gag slightly.
    “You sick asshole!   Why didn’t you just say something or hang up the phone?”   Anton yelled into the phone.
    Romeo just chuckled.   “I thought you needed to hear how it was supposed to sound.”
    “You are one sick fucker.   I’m gone.”
    Romeo smiled as he hung up the phone.   “Damn girl, if this is how you greet folks in the morning, I need to have you over more often!”
     

 
    Chapter 5
     
    Anton smiled ear-to-ear as he sat in the chair holding his baby girl.   She was beautiful.   He was speechless the moment the nurse placed her in his arms.  
    The first thing he thought of was how much his mom would have loved to have seen her.   The fact that she may not be his was way at the back of his mind, but he didn’t care; frankly, he knew from the moment she wrapped her little hand around his finger, she was his little girl.   That’s why they came up with the name Angel for her.  
    “Hello?   Earth to Anton?”   Dazzy said snapping her fingers.
    “I’m sorry, babe.   She is just the most precious thing I have ever seen.   I can’t take my eyes off her.”
    “Well, unless you have some things you are hiding from me under that shirt of yours, I need to feed her.”   She laughed.
    He stood up and handed Angel over to Dazzy and the waiting lactation nurse.  
    “It looks like somebody is getting spoiled already!”   The nurse smiled.  
    “What can I say?   I mean look at her, she’s breathtaking!”   He popped his collar.   “Much like her father.”  
    “Yes, she is.”   The nurse laughed as she left the room.   “I’ll be right back and we can get started okay.”
    “Okay.”   Anton laughed.
    “What the hell was that?”   Dazzy glared at him frowning.
    “What?”
    “Did you really just flirt with her right in my face?”
    Anton’s eyes darted from side-to-side.   “Huh?”
    “Don’t act like you don’t know what I’m talking about, Anton!”
    “I’m not acting because I don’t know what you’re talking about!   I wasn’t flirting with her!”   He said with agitation at her accusations.
    “Yes, you were!   All that ‘Oh, I’m so cute look at me’ crap!”
    Anton scrunched his nose in disbelief of what he was hearing.   “Are you serious?”
    “Yes, I’m serious!   How could you do that right in front of me?”   Her eyes began to well.
    Anton was speechless.   He didn’t want her to cry, but he also didn’t know what to say or apologize for, for that matter.  
    “Okay, are we ready?”   The nurse said as she came back into the room.   “Is everything okay?”   She noticed Dazzy was upset.  
    “I’m fine, just post-partum stuff.   Just ignore me.”   Dazzy said as she wiped the tears from her eyes.  
    “Are you sure?”
    “Yes, I’m fine.”   She said with a forced smile.  
    Anton was silent.   Mostly because he was afraid to say anything.   “Look, I will let you two take care of this.   I need something to drink.”   He kissed Dazzy on the cheek and headed out to the lounge for a soda.  
    He tried to make sense of what just happened as he walked to the lounge.   He finally just attributed it to hormones or something.  
    “What’s up, dad!”   Said Romeo’s voice from behind him.
    “Hey man.   I didn’t think you would come.”   Anton said as he gave Romeo dap.
    “Why would you think that?’
    Anton took a sip of his soda.   “Well, maybe the fact that you called me an idiot for even giving her the time of day?”
    “You still my boy, regardless of how dumb I
