She walks up to me and wraps me in a hug.
"I'm already picturing the playdates. They’re going to be best friends.”
I laugh. “Without a doubt.”
She rubs circles on my back as I start to cry on her shoulder, and I hear a sniffle or two from her as well. As if I wasn't emotional enough, this brand new development is already making me feel like a wreck.
"What did we walk in on?" Reya’s loud voice echoes through the kitchen and we both giggle as we pull apart.
"Absolutely nothing," she says with a sweet smile.
"You okay, sweetheart?" Miles asks as he approaches me. His brows do that cute thing they always do when he's concerned.
I'm so full of love for him, and excitement for our future, that I just want to say it. I want to share this with him right now.
But Vic has been patient, and thoughtful, and there is no way I'm going to steal her moment. I look over at her, hoping to gauge her thoughts, and she's nodding at me. She jerks her head towards Miles, silently telling me to go for it with a huge smile on her face.
I don't know what I did to deserve her as a friend.
"Actually," I start.
Justin's gaze is suspicious as he looks between us. Vic tries to cover her mouth when a squeal slips out, but it's unsuccessful.
"What is it?" Miles asks, only sparing small glances at her.
I try to think of the right way to say the words and come up short. Mostly because I'm still crying and I know my voice is going to crack. I grab his hand, and pull him with me as I run to my suitcase in the bedroom. I hadn't planned on telling him until we got home, but I brought a test just in case. I wanted to be prepared for a moment like this one.
Reya protests, hating that she's not the first to hear what I have to say. Vic wraps her up in a hug, to distract Reya or to distract herself, I'm not sure.
I don't hesitate when we enter the room, I don't say a thing. I just pull out the stick I peed on and hand it to him.
His face goes through so many emotions in such a short amount of time.
Confusion, shock, wonder, disbelief, and back to shock.
"This is yours?" he asks in a voice that's barely a whisper.
I nod too many times.
"How? When?" I repeat everything I told Vic, and more. I give him a heads up that he'll have to be late to work on the day of our first appointment, because I'm not going without him.
He doesn't care, I can see in his eyes how little anything else means right now.
Suddenly I'm in his arms, and he lifts me off the ground with a spin.
"Wow. I fucking love you so much."
"I love you so much."
As soon as Miles is setting me back on my feet, Reya is running into the room.
“You’repregnant?!” She doesn’t let me confirm before squeezing me tight enough toalmostworry me.
Vic gives me an apologetic shrug, but I don’t need it.
"The first one is the easiest," I hear Justin loudly whisper into Miles' ear.
They laugh, and he congratulates us. That leads to more champagne being poured and I didn't even know we had any here in the room. It's a long while before everyone says goodnight and heads back to their rooms.
