He grabs his sweatshirt and is out of the bathroom before I can even speak. When I take Dani’s hand, she’s sporting her own grin at Nathan’s reaction.
Crew’s eyes are still closed but he’s grumbling. “Why is everyone being so loud?”
“Can’t talk,” Nathan says. “Going to the store.”
“Can you get me a breakfast sandwich?” Crew asks, yawning.
“No time,” is Nathan’s response. “Order one for delivery. Where the hell are my shoes?”
“No breakfast sandwich. Dani’s nauseous,” I protest. The smell of greasy foods is the last thing she needs.
Crew’s eyes open and he’s fumbling around, reaching for his phone on the nightstand. “You’re sick, pretty girl?”
“No. I think I’m pregnant,” Dani says quietly.
I squeeze her hand for support. We both know Crew might not be as enthusiastic about this news as the rest of us.
Crew is leaning too far over. When he jerks at her words, he falls right out of the bed. He lands on the wood floor with a hard thump. “Ow.” His head pops up from the floor. “Michael did it, not me! I was out of commission for a week.”
His panicked words give me pause. He’s probably right. Between our time in Vegas and his being on a sex break from his injury, the timing would be right for the baby to be mine. Not that it would matter to me. I truly believe I’m capable of loving any child that Dani has as my own.
Nathan states what I’m thinking. “It doesn’t matter who did it.” He’s shoving his feet in his sneakers. “Point is,we’regoing to do it.”
“Maybe,” Dani protests. But she’s smiling now.
“Good thing I bought the house in Franklin with the barn,” Nathan says. “Daddy Nathan is buying our baby a pony.”
Crew’s still lying on the floor looking like he’s about to follow Dani’s lead and throw up. Nathan is already spending money on lavish gifts in his head. Dani is laughing in pure delight.
And me?
