"Turn the fuck around, shithead. If you..."
"Easy, bulldozer. The only thing I've seen is your nasty, naked ass."
"What are you doing here? How did you get in here?" I ask, quizzed.
"I've got the key to your lover boy's penthouse. Since both of you don't pick up your telephones, I found myself obligated to tell you that Emma gave birth. I thought you would like to know."
"What?" I shriek. Without another thought, I press against Cole's chest. "Cole, move… We need to go."
He slides sideways, and I bounce off the bed, not caring if Brian is there. "Emma gave birth?" I recite. "My best friend popped the baby; I'm an aunt again."
Brian whistles, but closes his eyes when Cole rises and gives him a death stare.
I search the ground for my bra. "Where is my..?"
When someone clears their throat, I look up to find my bra dangling on Cole's finger.
"Looking for this?" he asks with a sassy smirk.
"Yes, thank you. I—"
"Okay, guys, I'm out of here. Amanda is having car trouble, so I'm going to pick her up and bring her to the hospital. See you there."
With Brian leaving, we continue getting dressed. Cole strolls into the house, and when he returns, he throws a thong into my lap.
"You're not going into the hospital in that skirt without something underneath."
I saunter his way and caress his stubbled beard. "I thought you liked the easy access."
Goosebumps erupt when he grabs my wrist and kisses the inside. "Then let's say it's for my self-restraint."
“I need to message Samantha and Rachel."
"I already texted Sam. Now let's go."

As we walkthrough the hospital hallways, Cole stops me by halting and squeezing my hand.
"What?" I mumble, distracted.
"Shouldn’t we bring a present for the little one?" he says, pointing to the gift shop we just passed.
"Oh my god, yes, I forgot." He smiles as I charge towards the store. A few minutes later, I march out with a giant smile on my face. "Let's go."
The moment I open the door to their hospital room, and see Emma lying in bed with a little bundle in her arms, I rush over. Nick, who sits next to her, chuckles and rises to make room for me. After I hug and congratulate Nick, Cole hands his friend the huge chocolate brown teddy bear I picked out in the gift shop.
"Jeez, Alisha, that thing is enormous."
"Yep." I laugh. "Only the best for my little nephew."
With tears in my eyes, I hug Emma. "Congratulations, guys. Oh my god, I can't believe he's here." I peek sideways, and tear up at the sight of the most adorable little face.
"Oh good lord, Emma... he's perfect."
"I know. Wanna hold him?" she asks when she sees how I'm gawking. I nod eagerly and take the little guy from her.
"His name is Liam Brown," Nick announces with absolute pride in his voice when he and Cole stop next to me.
