Pregnancy is exhausting, and so are baby showers. So much for it being low-key. Ava invited every woman I know, so it’s safe to say the cat is really out of the bag now. The only thing I insisted on is no pics uploaded onto socials. It’s one thing for my family and our friends to know, another for Hunter Cash.

And since I’ve moved back here, the fear of running into him never leaves me. That’s if he still lives here in Los Angeles. I assume so, but he is expecting a family, so who knows?

“Ava, what part of this is low-key? There’s a giant swan on the patio.”

“It’s not a swan. It’s a stork.”

“Okay, I don’t think a giant stork screams low-key.”

Millie joins us at the table, where I have picked up way too much food. She places her hand on my belly and rubs it softly. Uh-oh, I’m not surprised if she’s pregnant now or thinking about having another one. I would have thought three boys and a bustling career were enough on her plate, but then I remember Mom and Dad. They made it work somehow.

“I think it’s a boy.”

“Really?” Ava questions her. “I think, girl. What do you think?”

I shrug. “I don’t know. How am I supposed to tell?”

“The shape,” Aunt Adriana intervenes. “Right now, I think you’re carrying like it’s a girl.”

“Were you like this with Willow?”

“According to Charlie, I was. She’s the queen of carrying girls.”

Great, a daughter. I hope she doesn’t turn out like drama llama Ava.

“Why are you looking at me that way?” Ava eyes me dubiously. “I was the perfect daughter, thank you very much. Ask the parentals. I was only hard work in my late teens.”

“Shall we bring up the leaked nude shots?” Millie raises with a smirk. “Or getting knocked up to a one-night stand.”

“I married the one-night stand, and Dad loves Austin. So there,” Ava retorts.

My sisters arguing is nothing new to me, but I abandon them to catch up with everyone else. It’s nice to chat, yet the conversation becomes somewhat repetitive. Everyone is respectful of the whole ‘daddy’ issue. No questions are asked, which I probably should thank Mom for since she probably warned everyone to leave me alone.

My cousin, Jessa, arrives with her little girl, Scarlett. It’s been a long while since I last saw them since they travel quite a bit. Andy has become a successful photographer who has been hired by many big labels, and Jessa is a full-time author now.

“Jessa, she is so precious. She looks just like Andy.”

“I know.” Jessa grins as her blonde curls bounce on her shoulders. “Isn’t it scary?”

“Nah, it’s perfect. Two besties finally together, and now your family is complete.”

“You summed it up,” Jessa agrees happily. “So, I guess we’re not supposed to bring up the giant elephant in the room, but between us, girls, are you okay? Being a single Mom is hard.”

“I don’t know. I guess I will know soon,” I admit, then release a breath.
