Zara placed a hand over her mouth.
“We’re pregnant,” Maya shouted.
Screams started, and most of them jumped up and around congratulating them. Zara stole the phone. “Low, oh my God, we’re catching up as soon as you’re back.”
“We’re shopping as soon as I’m back, girl.”
Zara grinned. “Totally.”
A door opened near the delivery room, and Rommy gasped as Wrenley stepped out. Rommy quickly said, “Got to go. Love you all, bye,” then hung up.
Torch went straight over to his tired-looking woman, supporting her back with his arms around her waist and his nose buried against her neck. He’d hated being away from her for so long.
Wrenley gave us a weary smile. “They’ve had a healthy baby boy. His name is Phoenix.”
Cheers went up, but Eve and Rommy just leaned back against me, both grinning at each other and then up at me.
Christ, they were beautiful.
CHAPTER TWENTY
EVE
I’d never liked the airport. Not that I’d ever been in one before, even though I had a passport, but I knew it wasn’t a place I’d enjoy. It was too loud and busy. The compound had a heap of people in it, but that was nothing compared to this.
What was worse was the reason I was here. It meant I was losing my friend.
My bottom lip trembled.
Rommy shook her head. “No. Nope. I can’t have you start. If you do, then I will, and it’ll be the end of me. There could be a hot pilot I need to impress, and I can’t do that with snot and tears running down my face.”
My stomach twisted at the thought of Rommy admiring a pilot.
Kayson was hot.
She just needed to look at him. It really didn’t bother me if she did.
I just didn’t want her to leave.
But I couldn’t say that now.
Sniffing, I wiped at my face and nodded. “You’ll text me all the time.”
She gave me a watery smile. “You’ll get sick of how much I’m going to text you.”
“Never,” I told her.
“Don’t forget to give Dusty those recipes you said I should try,” Kayson said as he reached out to tap her nose, which she scrunched up.
“I won’t, and maybe someday you can both come to see me, and we’ll try a heap of things together.”
He nodded. “Sounds good.”
Don’t go, I wanted to shout. Please don’t leave us.
I gripped Kayson’s hand tightly and thinned my lips.
“Goodbyes suck,” I said, and my bottom lip trembled again, so I bit down on it. The tears still welled.
