Ramsey kisses his cheek and turns back to Orrin and Jade. “So, are you going to tell us or keep us in suspense?”
“We’re going to tell you,” Orrin replies.
“Today?” Archer asks.
“We were, but now I’m not sure,” Orrin teases.
“Come on, man. We need to know if we’re going to have another Kincaid princess or a prince to spoil,” Archer says.
“Fine.” Orrin sighs as if telling us the gender of his baby is a hardship. We all know he’s being dramatic. He wants to tell us just as bad as we want to know. Maybe even worse. He’s been looking forward to finding out what they’re having for weeks. “It’s a boy.” He’s wearing a wide grin as we all hoot and holler and offer them congratulations.
“It’s hard to believe Blakely isn’t going to be the only grandchild anymore,” Rushton tells us. “For so long, she’s had all our attention. How do you think she’s going to handle a baby brother and two cousins within a matter of weeks of one another?”
“She’s going to be just fine,” Kennedy speaks up. “She’s going to be the best big sister and big cousin out there.”
Declan gives his wife a goofy grin. “She really is.”
“Two boys and two girls,” Archer muses. “Mom is going to be in heaven.”
We all nod because he’s right. Not just Mom, but our dad too. They had nine kids, so of course they want a house full of grandkids as well. The way we’re starting off gives a pretty good indication that’s going to happen for them.
“Who’s going to be next?” Maverick asks.
“Yeah, we need more than four. There are nine of us, ten counting Deacon. We need at least that many so we don’t have to compete for the favorite spot. Convincing Blakely every time we see her is exhausting.”
I huff out a laugh. “If you were her favorite uncle like I am, you wouldn’t need to convince her every time you see her.”
“I’m the favorite,” Rushton speaks up.
“Nope. That would be me.” Ryder raises one hand while keeping the other around Jordyn.
“Palmer, did you remember to bring the pack of rulers?” Alyssa calls out.
Everyone stops talking. “Rulers?” I ask. She ignores me.
I look across the fire at my smirking sister-in-law. “Damnit. How are we supposed to let them have a dick-measuring contest when I forgot the rulers?” Palmer taps her forehead and groans. The smile on her face is evidence that there were no rulers.
The men grumble while the ladies crack up laughing. I glance over at Jordyn and see that she’s smiling and laughing as well. “You sure about all this?” I wave my hand in a circle around the campfire. “We’re a little bit nutty.”
“Speak for yourself,” Maverick chimes in. “I’m not nutty; I’m special.”
“Oh, we know.” Ryder laughs.
“We all know that mine is the biggest,” Merrick speaks up.
“Nope. No. Just no.” Ramsey slices her hands through the air. “We are not having this conversation. You’re all like my brothers, and just… nope.”
“I agree,” Jade replies. “I don’t want to know or need to know the results of that contest.”
“Facts,” Alyssa agrees.
I tickle her sides, causing her to squirm on my lap as she sputters with laughter. I don’t let up until she claims she’s going to piss all over my lap. I drop my hands, and she stands and takes off, running for the house.
“Sterling scared his girl off,” Rushton jokes.
“Best friend,” I correct him.
“Let’s talk about that,” Palmer speaks up.
