Then I put it all together. The wedding, our wedding.
You slept with the best man? I’d seen them eye-fucking each other a few times, but she never told me she slept with him. I wonder why.
She grunts. “It’s false, it has to be. I’m going to buy more.” She walks out of the house before we can say anything.
Adley stands there frozen. “Can I have one of these?”
“No!” Hudson shouts and puts his head down, massaging his temples.
Later that night, after Adley goes to bed, I sit next to Hudson on the couch and hand him my new book, opened to the epilogue.
“What’s this?” he asks.
“Read the epilogue. Out loud.”
He narrows his eyes but takes the book from me.
Bea and Pete got married in a small ceremony for only their family members. Which didn’t end up being that small because there were a lot of family members.
Their honeymoon was amazing, but they came back with a souvenir. Bea worried about telling Pete. They were just starting their life together, and this would bring a new challenge for both of them.
She bit the bullet and sat him down one night after their daughter was asleep, took his hand, and placed it over her stomach, unable to speak the words. She saw Pete’s mind working, trying to figure out what was going on until it clicked, and he linked his fingers with hers.
“Really?” he asked.
She nibbled the inside of her cheek and nodded.
A warm, happy smile creased his lips, and he took her in his arms, kissing her. When they closed the kiss, he rested his forehead on hers. “Another baby?”
She nodded again. “Yeah.”
He hugged her so tightly she wondered why she had been so worried about telling him in the first place.
Hudson closes the book and raises his eyes to mine, silently asking.
I nod.
He throws the book in the air and grabs me, hoisting me up off the couch and spinning me around. “We’re having a baby!”
As I laugh, I’m not sure why I was worried. Hudson is always ready for things before me. If he had waited in the first place, we might not have gotten here, and that would have been the most tragic love story ever.
