“Hey, Wolf just tied the knot,” I said, bumping another laugh. Wolf said nothing, but he did smile as he took a drink. My mouth opened. “No way.”
Had this fucker already knocked up Fawn? I couldn’t believe it, but Wolf didn’t bother hiding his grin behind his drink when he lowered it.
His shoulders lifted. “She’s due in the winter.”
“Dude!” I said, grabbing his hand. This must have been news to everyone, because Wells and Bru did the same. Wells actually jumped up, and Wolf waved his hand.
“We haven’t told everyone yet,” Wolf said, his voice low, and, even though we were subtle about it now, we all shook his hand and gave him hugs. I was sure the sudden burst of male affection probably looked weird from the outside, but who the fuck cared?
“Another Legacy baby,” Bru said, laughing when he hugged Wolf. “Congrats, brother. You’re going to be a great dad.”
“Thanks, bro.” Wolf’s hug with Bru was extra long.
The only one who hadn’t hugged Wolf at this point was Dorian, surprisingly; he was just kind of smiling to himself. Suddenly, he pointed at Wolf.
“You say she’s due in the winter?” Dorian said. “What month?”
Wolf eyed Dorian. “January. Why?”
All Dorian did was smile, and Wolf’s mouth dropped open.
“Bro, you’re kidding,” Wolf said, and Dorian shook his head.
“Sloane’s due in February, and we were also keeping it a secret,” Dorian said, his grin wide, and what the fucks flew from the rest of us. It was enough to draw attention, so we all literally had to silence ourselves.
“Holy shit, I’m going to be an uncle again. Congrats, D.” There were hugs all around again. What were the odds these two fuckers were having kids at the same time?
“Same, man. Same.” Dorian came away from the hug holding Wolf’s hand.
“Lots of happiness going on over here. What’s going on?” Snowflake asked. She’d come along with the other girls. Bow had Bailee, and Lady was beside them. Lady very much looked like LJ but was half black. Her normally vibrant curls were straightened today. Fawn and Sloane were with them too, of course, and were drinking something other than alcohol when we all knew those two could throw down.
Shit, this was really real.
I was so happy for my friends and had to contain my excitement when I put my arm around Snowflake. “Nothing. Just guy talk.”
“Right,” she said, holding me tightly. She smelled like cinnamon today, and I loved fucking cinnamon. Her head cocked. “There’s a lot of boy joy going on over here. What’s happening?”
It wasn’t my place to say, and, when I caught sight of Dorian, then Wolf, they wore knowing smiles. They both looked at each other before nodding at me.
I arched my brow. “You sure I can say?”
“Why not? The cat’s already out of the bag,” Dorian said, sliding his arm around Sloane’s waist.
Sloane studied him. “Did you tell them?”
“They kind of pulled it out of me, but you’ll see why.” Dorian looked at Wolf.
Wolf grinned. “We are too.”
“Seriously?” Bouncing, Sloane launched herself at her twin. “Oh my God I’m so happy for you, Big.”
“Thanks, Little.” When he pulled away, he crouched down a bit. “And hey, little niece or nephew. You’ve got a cousin coming, too.”
“This is so exciting.” Fawn hugged Sloane, and Sloane squeezed her. The next thing I knew, everyone was hugging everyone.
“Oh my God. I can’t believe you both are pregnant.” Lady pressed her hands to her mouth. She brought her arms around both Fawn and Sloane. “The family is getting bigger.”
It was, and it started with Lady. I heard LJ say once that Lady was their family’s miracle.
