Devyn nodded. “I know. She’s a good friend. I’m sorry I made her keep it from you.”
“Brayden doesn’t know?” he asked.
“No. He’ll be the last to find out.”
“He’s not gonna be happy about that.” Colby chuckled. “Let’s go to my apartment and call him now.”
The three of us walked together to Colby’s, and I dialed Brayden as soon as we got there.
“What’s up?” he answered.
“We’re all at Colby’s. Get down here. I need to tell you something. Big news.” Then I hung up.
Billie entered the room from the kitchen, holding baby Maverick. She looked surprised to see Devyn and me. “Hey, guys. What’s up? Were you swimming?”
“You knew about the pregnancy, huh?” Colby said, walking over and smacking her ass.
Billie shrugged. “I did.”
“It’s mine, Billie,” I announced.
Her eyes widened. “Yes!” She jumped for joy. “Hell, yes!”
Colby squinted and turned to me. “Who else’s would it have been?”
“Again, long story for another day.”
He opened his mouth but then nodded, opting not to push further.
Brayden entered the apartment. “Why are you both wet?”
I wrapped my arm around Devyn and pulled her close. “We’re having a baby.”
“Remind me to stay out of the water, then.” Brayden laughed, but his face turned serious when it hit. “Wait, really? She’s pregnant?”
“Yeah, dude.”
He looked between us. “How long have you known about this?”
“Fully? Just the past ten minutes or so,” I said.
“Is this good news?” he asked.
“Yes. We’re happy.” Devyn smiled.
“So happy.” I kissed her on the forehead. “The best accident ever.”
“Congratulations, then.” He hugged us both. “You sure know how to shock the shit out of someone.”
“You’d better get to work, Brayden.” I patted him on the back. “You’re gonna be the only one of us without kids soon.”
He held his palms out. “I’m good. Happy to be the odd man out for alongwhile.”
Holden skidded into the open doorway. “Billie just texted me. I heard it’s yours!”
Brayden squinted. “What are you talking about…yours?”
“Don’t worry about it,” Holden said, flashing me an apologetic look.
