Sorry, my head was back in the toilet. All that airfare was not great for the morning sickness.

Axel

Wait. Is sissy’s eggo preggo too? Is that why Greyson put a ring on it?

Greyson

You do know that Rhyett added me to this chaos you call a text thread, don’t you?

Maverick

Hahaha excellent. Putting you down as my emergency contact in case I ever need bail.

Paxton

Two seconds in, and you’re asking for favors from the new billionaire brother?

Maverick

Like he didn’t know that was coming. There are twelve of us. 12!

Paxton

I’ve been dethroned so easily.

Maverick

Billion with a B, Pax. That trumps M.

Paxton

Fucking ruthless, Mav.

Greyson

I have attorneys on retainer. Don’t exploit that.

Jameson

We have a family attorney, thanks, though.

Broderick

Greyson
