“Not this time,” Eveline laughed, shaking her head.
As Tod leaned in for a closer look, Laira pulled out a tiny baby onesie that said “Auntie’s Bestie.”It took a few seconds for the message to register but the moment it did, tears filled her eyes. Laira pounced on her sister, screaming loudly. “You’re pregnant!”
“Shh! The boys will hear you.”
“Oh my god, you’re having a baby!”
“Yes, we are.”
“How far along are you?”
“Three months.”
Tod left the room, returning with a beer in each hand and offering one to Renley, squeezing his shoulder. “Congrats. The honeymoon was clearly worth it.”
“I didn’t want to tell you yet…” Laira looked at her husband, only continuing at his reassuring nod. “But we just found out we’re pregnant again.”
It was Eveline who screamed this time. “We’re going to do this together!”
“We are.”
“How far along?”
“Only a few weeks, we haven’t even had our first appointment yet.”
Renley smirked up at Tod. “That Thanksgiving break we gave you from the boys was worth it, huh?”
“Every second,” Tod confirmed, smirking, yet blushing at the same time.
Renley’s heart was full of joy as he listened to Laira and Eveline babble on about pregnancy, joint baby showers, andgender reveals. There was nowhere else in the world he wanted to be but here, with his wife by his side, awaiting their first child.
