I sat on the couch, staring at Sebastian in shock and disbelief, listening to his nonsense, and couldn't help but think that he was a moron.
He wanted to keep the baby, but he had no idea how we were going to provide for it. We were barely scraping as it was, and now he wanted to add a child to the mix? It was madness.
