Kamryn’s usual bright smile filled her pretty face. “You’re going to be an auntie again.”
“What?!” Kaiah exclaimed, and any thoughts she had about a stern talk flew out of her brain as excitement buzzed through her. “When did you find out?”
“Today! I wanted to tell you first.” Kam sniffed. “Devon and I have been praying for this for so long, Ky. I can’t believe it finally happened.”
Tears pressed against Kaiah’s eyes. “That’s amazing, Kam. I’m so happy for you.”
Kamryn started crying, and Kaiah did too.
“What’s wrong with us?” Kam swiped her fingers over her eyes, then laughed.
Kaiah dabbed her face with a tissue. “We’re just really, really happy. And you’re really, really hormonal.”
A knock sounded on the door, and Kaiah popped up from the sofa.
“Is that Mr. TDH?” Kam’s grin was back.
Kaiah shushed her. “You need to stop calling him that. You got me in trouble.”
“Oooh! Sorry, not sorry. I need to hear that story.”
Kaiah looked through the peephole and found Reid standing on the deck. “It’s Reid. Behave or I’m going to hang up on you.”
“I promise I’ll behave. I want to meet the babe who’s stolen my sister’s heart.”
Kaiah groaned. “You’re so dramatic. Now don’t embarrass me.” She unlocked and opened the door before sniffing and wiping her eyes. “Hi.”
Reid’s forehead creased with concern. “Hey, have you’ve been crying? What’s wrong?”
Kaiah smiled. “Everything’s great. My sister just told me some good news.” She held up the phone.
“Oh, I’m sorry. You’re busy. I’ll come back later.” He started toward the stairs.
“Hold on. Wait.” Kaiah held the phone up toward him. “Kam, this is Reid.”
Reid grinned at the phone. “Hello, Kam. I’m also known as Mr. TDH.”
Kamryn burst out laughing. “And the name certainly fits,” she managed to say between cackles.
Kaiah’s face was hot again—Kam!But when Reid snickered, she couldn’t help but laugh along with them.
“It’s great to meet you, Reid,” Kam said. “I’m Kaiah’s favorite sister.”
Reid nodded. “That’s what I hear.”
“Kam just shared that she’s expecting,” Kaiah explained.
Reid’s smile was warm and genuine, and it sent a thrill through Kaiah. “Congratulations! That’s the best news.”
“Thank you,” Kam told him. “I’ll let you two go. Talk to you later, sis.”
“I’ll call you soon. You take care of yourself—I guess I should say ‘yourselves.’ Wow, that’s going to take some getting used to.” Kaiah ended the call and turned to Reid. “Hey, you. What’s up?”
He rubbed the back of his head. “I was wondering if you wanted to see something.”
“Sure,” she said. “What is it?”
He started for the door. “Be downstairs in fifteen minutes. We’re going for a ride.”
