her.
    "Brother, let's jet."
    Looking to Dodge over my shoulder, I gave him a nod and leaned down to kiss Koda on the forehead as he sat on the floor playing. Standing, I turned to Mum, who was in the kitchen and said, "Call me, if you need anything."
    She rolled her eyes. "No, Kalen. I won't call if anything happens. Don't be an idiot and go out for your guys' night without worrying. But you need to think about what I said, so talk it over with your bro there. Maybe he can talk sense into you."
    Dodge snorted. "I highly doubt it, Judy. There ain't much goin' up in that head of his."
    She sighed. "It's sad but true."
    Throwing my hands up in the air, I barked, "Fuck off, the both of you." Then I headed for the front door with a laughing Dodge following me.
    Dodge had showed yesterday with Willow while their kids were at school. He'd arrived on my ride, which I sure fuckin' missed, and Willow was in their four-wheel drive with Dallas sitting beside her. Dodge would never let her travel alone. Pick and Billy were riding up Dodge's Harley later, meeting us at the pub.
    We climbed into my Jeep and made our way into town.
    "Lucky it's only a steering wheel you got a hold of and not someone's neck," Dodge commented with a chuckle.
    "Fuck, man. It's my first night goin' out without Koda. You're gonna hav'ta give me a break," I grumbled.
    "I'll try, as long as you keep the calls home to a minimum of two. Any more, your arse is mine to say what I wish to."
    "Screw you, dude."
    He shoved my shoulder. "Come on, brother. Ease up. It's no wonder Judy called me and said you're in need of a guys' night. How tight are your panties right now?"
    Sighing, I pulled into the car park off the pub and scrubbed my hand over my face after I parked. "They're so fuckin' tight I can't see straight. I worry all the time. Is Koda eating enough? Is he sleeping okay? Shit, I'm up half the night thinking he's not breathing."
    "Don't you have a baby monitor?"
    "Yeah, but then I worry it's stopped working."
    "Koda looks like a healthy baby to me. What's got you worried? Something one of those child health nurses said?"
    Shrugging, I then shook my head. "No, they've said he's at where he should be. Even though he's not crawling yet like I see other kids his age do. She said there's nothing to worry about."
    "Then what is it?" Dodge asked.
    Looking out the side window, I stared off into the dark night and admitted quietly, "I worry I'll lose him."
    The car was silent for a while. Dodge knew me well enough to know if I lost Koda in any way, I wouldn't come back from it.
    "We'll have to make sure none of that happens." He gave me a shove. "Come on, let's go get a drink. God knows we both need one."
    Walking into the pub, we grabbed a booth to the side. As soon as we sat, a waitress came up. "What can I get you two?"
    "Just a couple of Coronas," Dodge answered. After she had left, he turned to me and asked, "What did Judy mean at the house?"
    Leaning back in the seat, I glanced around the joint to see it wasn't that busy, before I said, "I told her I got a job landscaping. Asked her to take care of Koda during the day. My boy doesn't trust strangers, but he does his nan."
    Dodge came forward, his elbows on the table, his hands in front of him. "Hang on, why in the fuck you gettin' a job in the first place. It's not like you need the money?"
    Rolling my eyes, I told him, "Mum's idea. Said I needed to get outta the house more before I go insane. It's true. I float around Koda all worried and shit. I need a break, but I only trust Mum with him."
    "So what's the problem?" Dodge asked as the waitress came back and sat our beers down, along with her number scribbled on a napkin. She gave me a wink before stalking away. I took up the number and crumpled it into a ball, throwing it off to the side. "She wasn't bad looking," Dodge offered with a smirk on his face.
    "Not happenin'. Never fuckin' happenin'." Taking a deep breath, I answered his first question. "The problem is,
