I knew very little of Spencer's life before I arrived at the pack; he's kind of a closed book despite our close friendship. But I have heard that his grandmother basically raised him after his parents passed away. He was only a young boy at the time, and whatever happened, it shaped who he was as a person.

Deciding to change the subject, I said, "Well, I guess I'll be the judge of your cooking, and I'll let you know if it's good enough to snag a lady."

I realized I didn't have my beeper or gamma phone on me, and suddenly, I was feeling a bit detached from the others.

I knew that they wouldn't call me for anything now that Sampson knew of my pregnancy, but I'd at least still feel like part of the team, and I'd be able to read the group texts as they came through.
