M.J. Rodgers - Baby Vs. The Bar

Louie flipped his wrist dismissively, shooing away his son and daughter-in-law. Colin took hold of Heddy’s bony arm and headed out of the courtroom.

As soon as they left, Louie turned back to Marc.

“Now, what do you intend to do about my great-grandson?”

“I intend to do plenty. What do you want?”

“Well, for starters, I want to know his name.”

“It’s Nicholas Alexander.”

“Nicholas Alexander Demerchant,” Louie Demerchant said with definite approval.

“Nicholas Alexander Westbrook,” Marc corrected him.

Louie waved his hand as though the reminder was merely an insignificant impediment. Then his eyes suddenly snapped back toward Marc. “Wait a minute. You knew his name? All along?”

“No, not all along. I called Ariana Justice at her private-investigation firm yesterday during the noon break and asked her to start checking into the background of Remy Westbrook and her child. A.J. came by the office last night and filled me in on what she had learned so far. That’s how I knew his name and that his mother takes him to work with her and involves him in the sign-language research she’s conducting with a chimpanzee.”

“If you knew his name last night, why didn’t you call to tell me?”

“Because until you saw him this morning, you weren’t even sure he was David’s son. There wasn’t any point in telling you the name of a boy who might have been no relation to you.”
