“I’m sorry I told Rex before you.”
“I didn’t mean what I said.”
“I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
They talked over one another, blubbering uncontrollably until they began laughing.
When they pulled back, Bristol was swiping the tears away with her hands while Bianca made a mad dash for tissues.
“I wish I could blame it on the hormones,” Bristol said with a watery laugh, accepting the tissues Bianca passed over.
“Me, too.”
Bristol’s brain came to an abrupt stop at those two words and she stared at her friend. “What?”
Bianca was nodding, staring at the tissue in her hand, a smile pulling at her lips.
“Are you sayin’ what I think you’re sayin’?”
More nodding, more staring, but now Bianca was strangling those poor tissues.
“Bianca?”
When her friend looked up, there were more tears, followed by a wide smile. “I’m pregnant, too.”
Bristol was pretty sure her heart stopped then kick started once more, a giddy excitement filling her chest. “Seriously?”
Bianca nodded again and another sob escaped.
And once more, they were hugging it out, laughing and crying. But now they were happy tears.
Bristol finally pulled back, stared at her friend.
“You didn’t tell me,” she said softly, though it wasn’t an accusation.
“I just found out.”
“How far along?”
“Seven weeks.”
“Oh, my God!”
Bianca’s face lit up. “I know!”
Once more, they threw themselves into each other’s arms, giggling and laughing, the world finally right again.
At least for the two of them.
Bristol still had a few more apologies to hand out, but with this bond once again strengthened, she knew she could do just about anything.

Fucking hangover.
Kaden knew better than to drink whiskey. It never ended well for him.
“Mornin’, brother,” Keegan greeted a little too loudly when he joined Kaden in the kitchen.
