When they got to the house, Austin spotted the SUV parked in the garage which meant that Sommer and her mother had made it back and were hiding upstairs like they’d planned.

Inside, his mother was on the floor playing with the twins while Aria and Isabela danced to music coming through the stereo. Arielle rushed over and jumped right in, eliciting giggles from both daughters. Austin watched them for a moment, even more excited than he was before, and then ran upstairs to get Sommer. When he saw her, it was as if he hadn’t seen her in ages, and he wrapped her up in a hug before pulling her in for a deep kiss. When the kiss finally broke, she blushed and glanced at her mother.

“No need to be embarrassed, baby,” Caroline reassured. “You’re already pregnant. There’s not much more damage he can do.”

Austin laughed, brushed a kiss across Caroline’s cheek, and then led them both by the hand down the stairs. When they reached the main room, Arielle was the first to spot them and let out a shriek that he was sure had cracked a few of the glasses in the cabinets. Emma eased up off the floor and her mouth fell open when she spotted a pregnant Sommer with her son’s arms lovingly wrapped around her from behind.

Arielle sprinted over and grabbed Sommer up in a hug. “I saw you,” she accused, tears in her eyes. “I saw you at Stella’s office. Are you trying to tell me that you were actually sitting there pregnant with my first niece or nephew?”

She paused.

“Niece,” both Austin and Sommer answered, and Arielle looked as though she would pass out.

Emma was now beside them, still in shock. From the very first time they met in preschool, when Austin had asked Sommer to play race cars with him and she’d tossed the cars clear across the room, Emma and Caroline joked that they would end up married one day. Then, with the way she would always catch Austin staring at Sommer with that little smile on his face when he thought no one was paying attention, completely hypnotized by her, both women began to realize how real the possibility of their children ending up together could be.

Her eyes darted to Caroline. “You knew all this time and kept it from me.”

Caroline chuckled. “And it was so hard, Em. I wanted to show you all the things I’d bought for my granddaughter and gush over what she might be like.”

Emma pulled Sommer in for a loving hug and kissed her on the cheek. Then, she pinched Austin on the forearm.

“For keeping secrets from your mother.”

“Ow, Ma.”

She smiled and he bent to also receive a kiss on the cheek.

“When’s the baby due?” Arielle asked.

“In eight weeks,” Sommer answered.

She quickly calculated in her head. “That’s close to the championship game, isn’t it?”

“She’s due the week after,” Austin answered. “But I’m not worried. I’ll be there for both.”

Sommer leaned into his chest. “Austin’s been putting up the best numbers of his career, so I know they’re going to the big game.
