We’re tackled with hugs and congratulations and it takes a while for things to die down again.

Tru holds her hands up, her face lit like she’s ready to explode. “This is the best news!” she says. Then her smile turns sly. “And…we have some news too.”

Our heads all whip toward her.

Henley grins. “We’re pregnant.”

“What the hell is happening?” Rhodes says, wiping his eyes.

“You’re kidding,” Elle says, clutching her stomach.

Rhodes clears his throat. “Actually…” He slides his arm around Elle’s waist. “We were waiting to tell you this…but…we’re having a baby too.”

“WHAT?” I yell.

“This is like a pregnancy flash mob!” Sadie says, wide-eyed.

Weston glances at her and she gives a slight nod. “Well, since we’re all confessing things…”

“Shut the front door!” Addy yells.

Sadie grins. “Yep. We’re pregnant too.”

We all lose our freaking minds. The kids dance around and we all pound each other on the back and hug and laugh and cry. Tru is laughing so hard, she’s doing one long wheeze.

Weston is the closest one to me, and I hug him, leaning back to look him in the eye.

“Would you have ever believed this would be us when we first met?” I ask.

“Not a chance in hell,” he says. “But I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

“Me either.”

And then Poppy gasps and lets out a long moan. Her eyes go wide, and she presses a hand to her belly. “Ohhhh,” she moans again.

Bowie’s next to her within a second. “What is it? What’s wrong?”

“I think—” Her face twists in pain. “I think it’s happening.”

“You’re kidding.” Bowie pales.

Greer drops a spoon and it goes clattering across the floor.

“Oh my God,” Elle shrieks.

“Everyone to the car!” Weston yells.

“We can’t all drive her!” Sadie argues.

“I’ve got it,” Bowie says. He looks ready to pass out, but he starts moving her toward the door. She winces and grips his arm, shuffling alongside him. He looks at Tru and Elle and then around the room. “Can one of you take Becca home after this? I’ll call Mrs. McGregor and my mom when we get to the hospital.”

He looks at Becca and Poppy talks softly to Becca, who’s nodding.

“I see you when baby comes,” she says.

Poppy hugs her and then Becca hugs Bowie.

“Do you need us to take Jonas? We can take him too,” Sadie says.
