When Mauricio got home from work that evening, Alec was waiting in his apartment. His twin brother looked harried and not his usual self. Mauricio undid his tie as he walked through the living room where Alec was sprawled on the couch watching ESPN.

“Hope you don’t mind if I crash here,” Alec said. “I would have called first, but I came from the airport.”

“I don’t mind,” Mo said. “What’s up?”

“Today is the release of the latest update,” Alec said. “This time I might have bitten off more than I could chew.”

Alec was a software genius who wrote code that handled everything you could imagine. His house in the Five Families subdivision was completely automated. But each time his company had a new release, Alec, who was normally the most confident of guys, was nervous.

“Is it a tequila or beer night?”

“Tequila,” Alec said. “But I promised to take Benito so that Bianca and Derek could go to their prenatal class, so neither.”

His brother kept flipping between all the sports channels, finally stopping on one that showed the Formula One rankings. Alec turned up the volume as they both turned their attention to the stats. Inigo was in the top five. Not surprising since he was a determined competitor who’d been driving since he was a teenager.

When the rankings story was over, Alec turned the volume down. He knew that Alec needed to be distracted. Otherwise, he’d just sit here worrying about the reaction to his latest release, which would be happening on the West Coast this evening at four o’clock...so any minute now.

“I’ll drive. Let’s get Beni and go play some polo. Text Diego and tell him to meet us there,” Mauricio said.

“I’m not sure I’m up for—”

“You’re not. So, I’m going to suggest you play on Diego’s team,” Mo said with a wink. He and Alec had never been those twins who felt each other’s exact emotions, but they were empathetic with each other. Both of them knew when the other one was dealing with something bigger than normal.

“Ha. Okay. You’re right. Sitting here stewing isn’t going to help,” Alec said. “Which makes me wonder how you knew that. You’re not normally the intuitive twin.”

He shrugged at his brother. What could he say? He could relate to needing a distraction. He’d been keeping as busy as he could until Hadley let him know if she was pregnant or not. Then it occurred to him that he hadn’t told anyone about it. But what would he say to them if she wasn’t?

“What is it?” Alec said. “I’ve been having weird dreams again.”

Damn.

The one thing that had always linked them was their dreams. Neither of them had ever been comfortable talking about it to their other brothers.

“Hadley might be pregnant,” he said. “We won’t know until she has a chance to go get a test.”

“Wow. Okay, I wasn’t expecting that. Do I need to give you the protection talk? I thought Dad covered it pretty well when he said no one likes using a condom but always use one.
