Part of me knew that the conversation would bring us back here, inside Ethan’s office. I barely remember the awkward goodbyes we said to John and Sarah as Dean led me out of the house and into his car. I did notice the heavy silence while Dean drove us to his firm’s HQ, though. I know he texted both Ethan and Logan and told them to be here. He didn’t say a single word as his hands gripped the wheel until his knuckles turned white.

Even now, he can barely look me in the eyes.

They know. They asked me to tell them instead of having Dean recount what he overheard from my conversation with Sarah. All I could manage was, “Yeah, I’m pregnant.” They’re still trying to formulate a response, though I understand why they’re having trouble finding the right words. I’m so nervous, my skin itches. My heart is beating a thousand miles a minute as I try to imagine a new future ahead. Ethan, Logan, and Dean know that I’m pregnant, and it’s not something I was really prepared for. I’ve been trying to find the right moment, but they’ve been overworked while I’ve barely managed to pull my bakery back together for the upcoming holidays.

We had an agreement which we have repeatedly breached—but catching feelings for one another doesn’t even compare to bringing a new being into the world. I’m going to be a mother. It’s a decision I’ve already made, and I am terrified by the silence with which the three men I’ve fallen for have chosen to respond with. The more I think about it, in fact, the angrier I get. Whether they have a reaction or not doesn’t even matter. I’m moving ahead, with or without them. So why am I allowing myself to be treated like this?

“Is anybody going to say anything or are we going to just stare at one another all damn night?” I mumble, arms crossed as I sit on the sofa facing the western window.

Logan and Dean have the guest chairs, while Ethan is settled behind his desk. All eyes are on me—dark gazes loaded with confusion and muted fury. Lips pressed tightly into thin lines and muscles ticking nervously in their jaws. Hard breathing and stolen glances. Yet not a word.

“Seriously?” I croak. “You’re acting like I killed your dog or something.”

“How long have you known?” Ethan finally speaks.

Tension drips from his voice, sending shivers down my spine. Why do I feel like I’m in the wrong here? I didn’t do it on purpose. My defense systems are starting to kick in. My hyper-independent side is rearing her head, and she does not like what she’s seeing from the men who insisted they wanted more, who claimed they could be more for me just as I am for them.

“A couple of weeks. I was still trying to figure out a way to tell you,” I say. I only hope they don’t notice the tremor in my tone.

“This wasn’t part of the deal,” Ethan says.
