Two Days Later

Gabby: I hope you’re ready for me, biatch!

Me: More than ready. I miss you.

Gabby: We’ll be there in thirty minutes.

By ‘we’ she meant her and Paxton. A lot had happened with them in the past couple of months, but that was another story to tell. If I thought me and Ryley had it rough in the beginning, nothing could compare to what those two had to go through. That was part of the reason why Shelby wanted the interview with us all. The stories of our lives could be made into movies, or even written into books. That was how crazy this past year had been. Luckily, we all came out of it alive, but some of us, barely.

“Ash, it looks like Matt and Shelby are here,” Ryley called. I rushed to finish flat ironing my hair and joined him downstairs. Once I was by his side, he answered the door. “Merry late Christmas,” Shelby shouted, passing me a present.

“Thank you,” I said, setting it down on the table. It wasn’t until the present was away from her stomach that I noticed something different about her. I saw her not too long ago, but never paid attention to her belly. Now she was wearing a fitted, purple sweater that definitely accentuated the bump.

“Oh my God, are you—?” I started and stopped.

Shelby with her shiny complexion and honey colored eyes beamed at me. Matt shook Ryley’s hand and slapped him on the shoulder. “Yeah, we’re pregnant again. I guess there’s something in the water. Just as long as Gabby doesn’t show up pregnant, we’ll be fine.”

I laughed. “Trust me, that’s not going to happen. She’s not ready for that yet.” I turned my attention to Shelby. “Does anyone know? I haven’t heard anything about it.”

“No one knows, not even Gabby.”

Ryley and I both groaned and I said, “This isn’t going to be good.”

“Why not?” Shelby asked.

I sighed and held out my hand, letting her see my wedding band. “Because Ryley and I got married and didn’t tell anyone. We were going to tell you all today.”

“Oh shit,” Matt grumbled. “We need to be prepared then.” It was funny seeing him say that because his expression looked just like his sister’s. He and Gabby looked exactly alike with their dark hair and green eyes.

About that time, a car door slammed outside and I heard Gabby’s animated voice shouting with excitement. I didn’t even have to bother with the door because she barged in, with Paxton and Mason right behind her.

“Where’s my little man at?” she asked, smiling at her brother and Shelby. Then her eyes went wide and she did a double take, focusing on Shelby’s stomach. “And I do believe I’ve missed something.”

Mason stood beside her, oblivious to Gabby and her gaping mouth. “He’s with Claire and the kids. Madison begged your brother to let him stay and when my daughter wants something, she gets it.”

“Just like her daddy?” Gabby said, crossing her arms at her chest, turning her glare to Shelby and Matt.
