Played Dad, Lost Me

Summary

My boyfriend's childhood friend got knocked up.

To save her rep, Quentin Palmer married her.

When I asked what that meant for me—and our baby—he stayed ice-calm.

"Rainee's not like you. I'm all she's got. She wouldn't survive the gossip."

Like I had anyone else? Like I wasn't carrying his baby too?

Later, while people laughed behind my back about the "fatherless" kid I was having, Quentin just stood there—next to Rainee, silent.

That's when it hit me—love comes with a pecking order.

So I ended the pregnancy. Gave up my baby... all so he could play the hero for her.
