Mason laughed. "Yeah. Sorry. We just couldn't not tell you guys."
"I'm so happy for both of you," James said. "And thanks for what you said. That means a lot to me."
Mason walked over to him. He leaned down and gave him a hug. "I meant every word."
They did that thing where they slapped each other on the back.
Bee and I smiled at each other.
"Where's the present you got him?" Mason asked.
"By the door. Could someone go grab it for me?" Rob asked. "I've been told I'm not allowed to get up anymore."
Mason laughed. "The Hunter men have suddenly rendered themselves useless." He walked over to the door and grabbed the box. "Shit, this actually is pretty heavy. What the hell is in here? Bricks?" He put the present down on the floor in front of James.
"It's a surprise," Rob said. "Actually, it's kind of a surprise for all of you. Open it."
James tore the paper and slowly opened the box.
"So, I was doing some research, and these are all the best books," Rob said. "About what to expect and everything. Things you should and shouldn't do. And there's some vitamins in there that Penny needs to start taking immediately."
James laughed as he lifted up the bottle of prenatal vitamins.
"Vitamins?" Matt asked. "Why did you buy Penny a present?"
James smiled at me. "Well, we weren't going to say anything yet. But Penny and I have some news too. She's pregnant."
"What?!" Melissa screamed. "Ah!" She attacked me in a huge hug. "You're going to be a mom? This is crazy." She hugged me again. "You're going to be such a great mom, Penny. Are you so excited?"
"We're very excited," James said and rubbed my back.
"I'm so happy for both of you." She gave James a hug. "You two didn't wait very long at all. I didn't realize that you wanted kids right away. But I'm so, so happy for you."
"We didn't really plan it. But I couldn't be more excited. It was the best possible surprise. I'm sorry Mason and Bee, we didn't want to steal your thunder. We weren't going to say anything..."
"Are you kidding?" Mason said. "I'm going to be an uncle?"
"No," Rob said. "Technically I'm going to be the only uncle."
"Congratulations," Mason said, ignoring Rob. "You really can't tell at all. Are you sure?"
"We're sure," James said. "It's this tiny little dot, but it's there. Here, let me show you." He pulled out his wallet and handed the picture of the sonogram to Mason.
I hadn't realized that he had put the picture in his wallet. Everything he did just warmed my heart so completely.
"Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" Jen said. "This is so crazy exciting!"
"It's definitely a boy," Rob said.
I laughed. "No, we don't know."
"When do you get to find out?"
"Actually, we want that to be a surprise too."
"You seriously don't want to know ahead of time?"
"It's more fun this way." James rubbed my back again.
