Quincy's mind was stuck on repeat, echoing only one phrase: "Having a baby!"

Everett wanted to have a baby with him?

His solution was to start a family together, to bring a new member into the Lopez clan!

"Don't worry about it. Pretend I never mentioned it," Everett took a pause, clearing his throat, "As for the arrangement, I'll think of something else. There's always a way. I'm not too keen on my dad's constant nagging either."

The thought of Everett reconsidering and, as a result, missing out on the chance to have his baby made Quincy uneasy.
