“It’s beautiful, Shane,” I whisper as he slips it on my finger. A perfect fit.
“It’s a family heirloom. The first Andromeda jewelry ever made.”
I gasp. “Shane! I can’t wear this!”
“You can, and you will. My mother insisted.” He kisses my cheek.
“Pamela knows?”
“She wore it before you. It’s why she came down last week.” He smiles at me as I look down at the gorgeous ring on my finger.
“I can’t wait to tell everyone.” I bite my lip, feeling all giddy inside. I can’t believe I get to marry the man of my dreams.
“Why don’t we do it right now?” Shane grins and reaches for his phone on the nightstand.
He sits down on the side of the bed and pulls me into his lap, my back to his chest, then holds up the phone and starts a video call with Morgan, Cecilia, Emma, and Ronnie.
“You called the girls and not the guys?” I giggle.
“It’s more likely that they’ll pick up.” He chuckles.
It takes a few seconds, but eventually all their faces fill the screen.
“This better be important. I was just about to go nap,” Emma hisses through her teeth.
“It is,” I say. “Is everyone around?”
“Yeah, what’s going on?” My brother’s worried face pops up beside Em. “Is everything okay? Is the baby okay?”
Suddenly all the men show up as well, Clay behind Morgan with Trinity in his arms. Silas with his hand on Cecilia’s shoulder. Noah and Gabriel on either side of Ronnie. All of them wearing equally worried faces.
“Yes, the baby is fine. But we do have some news,” Shane says with a wide grin just as I lift my left hand up to the screen.
“SHUT UP!” Emma shouts just as Greyson glares at her and tells her to quiet down.
“No fucking way! You’re freaking engaged!?” Ronnie shrieks loudly.
“Ronnie!” Morg, Cece, and Em say at once.
“Sorry! Sorry. We don’t have any kids here, okay! And it’s not like shut up is any better.” She narrows her eyes, I’m guessing at Emma.
“She’s right, Bunny. We’ve been over this,” my brother says to his wife, which earns him the death stare. He simply kisses her head then looks back at the camera. “Congratulations, you two, although I’m surprised you were able to wait a whole week.” He chuckles, talking to Shane.
My brows rise as I turn and look at Shane. “You told my brother?”
Shane nods, rubbing up and down my arm with his free hand. “I asked his permission, as well as your parents.”
God, can this man get any more perfect?I melt into him, my head resting in the crook of his neck.
A smacking sound through the phone catches my attention. “You knew and you didn’t tell me!?” Emma says as she hits my brother on the arm once more.
“Hey! It wasn’t my place to tell!” Greyson calls back to her.
“I am your wife. You’re supposed to tell me everything!” She smacks him repeatedly.Jesus, this call is getting out of hand.
Suddenly a high-pitch wail sounds from behind them and Emma growls loudly. “Look what you did! You woke them up!” She drops the phone on the counter and seems to storm off. “Bye-bye nap time. Thank you very much!” she shouts as her voice gets farther and farther away.
The camera moves again as my brother picks up the phone. “Sorry, about that. I’ll go help her before she really calls thedoctor and schedules my vasectomy.” Everyone laughs as he ends his side of the call.
