OOM: The text that started it all

[obligatoryass]

If Logan were a braver man, he'd call Trina himself. If he were a really, properly brave man, he'd go see her.

But bravery isn't really Logan's strong point. He can't even manage an e-mail, as lame as that would be.

Instead, he sends her a text message.

"Short on cash. Can't pay rent. Please advise."

He hits send and knocks back a shot of tequila.

The bottle's not small, and it's half-empty. He opened it an hour ago. It's amazing that the text came out coherently. Muscle memory, even in a thumb, is an amazing thing.

"Apparently, that his grandmother is going to kill him."

Nice boys do not knock girls up.

Especially not girls like Trina Echolls.

She shrugs. "I think we're both still a little shocked. But he'll be a good father."

"And you'll be a good mom," Logan says, and he's pretty damn sure of that. She might lack a decent role model, but she'll still be awesome. "And you'll do it with style."

"Yeah, and you better be a good uncle," she says.

Or else.

"I've got practice at uncle-ing," he says, smug. "Now, being a dad I'd totally suck at. Uncle, though, that I can pull off. It can't be too different from being a godfather, right? The real kind, not the Marlon Brando kind."

"There will be no making of my child an offer he or she can't refuse," says Trina, promptly.

"Nah, we all know how that ends, and I don't want to have to kill my niece or nephew's pony and then behead it."

No one wants that, really. "Besides, I'd need to assemble an army of consiglieres, and who wants to do that?"

"You are clearly still not exactly sober, little brother," she says, shaking her head.

"Just, get your shit together, okay, Logan? Please."

[obligatoryass]

"Sure," he says. "Sure."

Because Trina will have enough worrying to do, what with a kid and all. Clearly, he should grow up and let her be a parent to the person who is actually under the age of emancipation.

But how the hell is he going to manage that?
