Stop egging your mother on, Asher.
Stop acting like a fucking child, Noah.
Lilah – I don’t know what you need to stop doing but stop whatever it is.
And Dillan, we expect you and Rome at the house for dinner. Soon. I’ve known him his whole life, and unless you’d like me to embarrass the hell out of you both, you’ll come over and sit down to dinner where you’ll tell us everything.
Mom
You might not want to know everything, Brady. I mean, she’s twenty-five. And he is gorgeous. I mean think about what we were doing at twenty-five. Some things might be better left unsaid.
Dillan
OMG. Stop. Everyone please, for the love of what little sanity I have left, I’m begging you to stop.
Asher
Seriously. I don’t want to know what you were doing at twenty-five. That’s the kind of shit that sends your kids to therapy, Mom.
Lilah
Sounds like the baby needs to grow up.
Dillan
We’ll come for dinner soon. I promise. I just have to look at our schedules. I love you all.
Mom
Practice safe sex, honey.
Dad
Or just practice abstinence, honey. That’s a great option, too.
Mom
It really isn’t.
Asher
I just threw up in my mouth.
Mom
Brush your teeth.
Lilah
Let me know when you’re doing dinner with Mom and Dad, and Killian and I will come. Safety in numbers.
Dillan
Why are you being so supportive?
Lilah
Because I’ve watched the way that man has looked at you for years, and it was hot enough to burn down the house around you. I’m pregnant and hormonal and a great big sap when it comes to happily ever afters.
