I stood there and nodded my head as tears filled my eyes.
“Oh, my God. We’re having a baby!” He jumped up from his chair and pulled me into him.
“Yes, Conner. We’re having a baby.”
He broke our embrace and held my face in his hands. “I’m going to be a father, Charlotte.” Tears filled his eyes.
“Yes, Conner.” I smiled as a tear fell down my cheek. “You’re going to be a father.”
“How? How did this happen? You’re on birth control.”
“Blame it on the traumatic brain injury.”
“Jesus, Charlotte. The dinner. Every food has the word baby in it. That’s how you were trying to tell me.”
“Yes, and you’re an idiot.” I smirked.
“In my defense. I would never have guessed that. When did you find out?”
“Today. I talked to Georgia, and she ran a pregnancy test. I’m five weeks.”
“Oh, baby.” He pulled me into him and hugged me tight. “You have made me the happiest man on earth. I love you so much.”
“I love you too, Conner.”
“I can’t wait to tell my brothers and cousins. You’re happy about it, right?” he asked as he stared into my eyes.
“Yes. I’m very happy. Shocked, but happy.”
“You know what, babe? The universe—”
I brought my finger up, placed it on his lips, and shook my head no.
“You’re right. Screw the universe.” He kissed me, then got down on his knees, pressing his hands and lips against my belly. “Hey, little one. It’s your daddy. You are so loved already, and I can’t wait to meet you.”
I softly ran my fingers through his hair as he spoke to our child.
“There may be twins in there.” He looked up at me. “Wouldn’t that be great?” A grin crossed his face.
“Twins don’t run in my family.”
“How do you know? You can’t remember much.” He grinned.
“Now that you mention it, I can’t remember much. I couldn’t even remember to take my pills when I needed to. You know what that means?”
“What?” He stood up and gripped my hips.
“I’m not even sure if the baby is yours. For all I know, I could have slept with someone else and forgot.” A sinister smile crossed my face.
He pointed his finger at me as he tried to speak, but nothing would come out.
“I win.” I smiled and walked away. “Oh, by the way, we’re waiting until seven o’clock to tell the family.
“Why? Why can’t I shout it out now?”
“Because Emilia just found out today as well that she’s pregnant, and the four of us are telling the family together.”
“What?” Conner placed his hands on his head. “Sebastian is going to be a father too?”
