So I walked over to a pink bucket full of ice, reached in, and grabbed a bottle of beer.

I twisted off the cap and held it up.

One nod and I chugged the entire beer.

I knew that’d at least get Joe excited.

I tossed him a beer. Then the rest of the guys a beer.

Then I pointed to Oscar.

Who knew the last time the billionaire drank a beer.

He didn’t deny my request either.

I even offered one to Ellen.

She took it.

We all had a drink together.

They cheered for me.

I waved and smiled.

I bypassed the entire speech thing all together.

We talked, laughed, ate some cake…

Rome tried to throw a piece in my face.

I got out of the way and the cake hit Joe.

Joe smashed Rome’s face into the cake on the table.

Then a cake fight broke out.

Oscar loved it - just as long as he and Ellen were out of the way.

Once we were done making the mess, I was the first to sit down.

The rest of the guys slowly did.

Henry gave me a nod.

“Thank you for this,” I finally said. “Cheers to you all. This is nice. I didn’t expect it.”

“We are happy for you,” Sebastian said.

“Even if the circumstances are crazy,” Rome said. “But a good crazy. A sexy crazy.”

“Rome,” I said.

“Yeah. I’ll shut up now.”

“You’re having a daughter,” Joe said.

“I am,” I said. “I’m not sure what that looks like for me.”
