Summary
Uma can't keep from grinning. “The hell is Chad in Hawaii for? Wait, did this kid’s mom just leave her with you? Have you ever met her before?”
“No!” Harry cries. He sounds frantic. "I didn’t even know Chad had a niece! This could be a random stranger for all I know, and he’s still on a plane so I can’t ask him, because Audrey booty called him from across the goddamn ocean and now I have a baby out of nowhere!”
Uma is wheezing. She can't help it. Harry wails, rivaling the mystery baby for loudest noise, which does nothing to calm Uma down.
“Uma!”
“I’m s-sorry,” she gasps, clutching at her stomach as she tries and fails to control herself. “It’s just, why does the weirdest shit always happen to you?”Series

Summary
“I am happy,” Harry insists. “God, I'm so happy for her, I can't– I don’t even have words for it, I just– she–”
The noise he makes is too hysterical to be a sob and too heartbroken to be a laugh. “Nothing's changing, she's even keeping our fucking name and I can't– I'm not losing anything this time–”
This time it is unmistakably a sob. Uma bites her lip as he hangs his head, fingers white-knuckled on the lip of the sink.
“I know how bad you wanted to adopt her,” she whispers, and Harry’s shoulders shake as he finally starts to cry.
