@TheTheoKershaw Baby Daddy in the house! Oh, yeah. Won our first playoffs game which is awesome, but … BABY! #RebelsBaby #PlayoffsBaby #TheoBaby #DinoBaby

“Hey, guys! It’s been a whirlwind 24 hours. If you haven’t heard, I’m having a baby!”

Elle put her hand over her mouth, wishing she could put it over his. Theo was back to his daily Instagram live check-ins and doing what he did best: blabbing for his country.

“Yeah, I don’t know how I managed to keep quiet about it because as you’ve probably figured out, I’m not known for being quiet about anything! I’m a total attention ho but Eh—the mother of our baby—she’s a private person so I’m hoping people can respect that.”

The comments section was filled with affirmations and congratulations. A couple of them observed that his baby mama was so lucky to have Theo as her main squeeze, and Elle had to admit: if she was going to get knocked up by anyone, Theo Kershaw wasn’t such a bad prospect.

Prospect. That sounded a little too close to “mark.”

The guys had been mostly discreet at the impromptu reveal party, but it wasn’t enough. She woke up to several text messages from Jordan telling her that her name was all over social media. No pics, but everyone was speculating on who she was and how she’d managed to snag a fine piece like Theo.

Her phone rang with a number she didn’t recognize, but as the location ID read Saugatuck, MI—Theo’s home town—she answered. Someone was already talking. Loudly.

“ELLE? Elle Butler, this is Aurora! THEO’S GRANDMOTHER!”

“Oh, hello, Mrs. Kershaw.”

“Please! There isn’t nor ever has been a Mr. Kershaw. It’s Aurora. Now I KNEW there was something about you.”

Elle’s muscles solidified to cement. “You did?”

“As soon as my Theo mentioned you at the holidays I knew you were THE ONE.”

“Um, Mrs. K—I mean, Aurora, this wasn’t planned and we’re really just trying to take it a day at a time. Theo’s great. Lovely, really, but we’re not a couple in the traditional sense…” Where was she going with this?

Aurora picked up the slack. “I just want you to know that you are part of THE FAMILY. Now, what about your parents?”

A chill seeped into her bones to go with the cement muscles. “My parents?”

“When can we meet them? Theo says he hasn’t had a chance to talk to them yet.”

“Oh, they’re … traveling right now? On business.” Probably true, they were always moving from Point A to Point B to bilk someone out of their life’s savings. “They’re really pleased.”

“OF COURSE THEY ARE! Maybe they can come to Chicago for one of Theo’s games. Okay, I have to go. Someone just came in and he looks like he’s got cash to spend on that nice print of the lighthouse surrounded by ferrets. I’ll send a care package of lotions and brownies soon and we’ll set up a weekly—maybe twice-weekly?—check-in. SOUND GOOD?”

“Uh, okay.”

Hurricane Aurora rang off. Damn. Elle was going to have to get her story ducks in a row regarding her parents and why they would always be traveling.
