“Well, that was so sugary sweet, I’m pretty sure I got a toothache,” Markus said as he fell back on Baylor’s couch. “Or it was all the cheesecake I ate.”

Baylor giggled as Jayden brought her down onto his lap, his hand resting on her belly. The party was over, and Baylor was convinced it was one of the greatest days of her life. The impromptu wedding was amazing and so romantic. She hadn’t expected it, and she had to admit, she was really starting to love surprises. Well, as long as they included Jayden.

After they redid their vows, they danced as Avery sang “This” by Ed Sheeran. After that, they opened presents, and it was easy to say their child would be set for the first year of its life. It would definitely be ready for its first hockey game in its stylish Number 59 Sinclair Assassins jersey Elli had gotten them. Along with the Assassins blanket, hat, pacifier, and carrier. They had gotten so much stuff—even a stick and puck for the little baby. She just couldn’t wait to find a home for every gift.

But she was more ready for the baby to come.

“Hush, it was amazing,” she gushed, kissing Jayden’s cheek as he peeled off her shoes, rubbing her feet.

“You loved it?”

“I did,” she said, cuddling into him. “Did your mom plan it?”

“Nope, all me,” he said proudly, and she beamed back at him.

“Wow, good move, Sinclair. It was nice,” Markus said with a nod. “Way better than those stupid shower games.”

Baylor laughed. “Right? But it was all perfect, and I can’t wait to put all the stuff away.”

“Do I have to help?” Markus asked, and Jayden scoffed.

“If I have to fold onesies, so do you,” he said, and Markus nodded.

“Figured. Gotta work for the plane ticket, I guess,” he teased, and they all had a good laugh.

Leaning against Jayden, she looked up at the wall that was empty, waiting for what she had thought would be pictures of their child. “I want the pictures there.”

Jayden looked at the spot she was pointing to, his brows coming together. “I thought the baby’s first pictures were going there.”

“Nope, I want pictures of us, with the baby in the middle.”

“Anything you want,” he whispered, kissing her temple, and Markus groaned.

“You guys are mushy. Ew,” he teased, a grin pulling at his lips, and Baylor stuck her tongue out.

“You’re jealous.”

“I am. Can I move in and be the third wheel? I’m lonely.”

“No way,” Jayden laughed, looking over to their friend. “So it’s not going well down in Florida?”

“Hate it. Loathe it. I want to leave. Y’all are up here, and Jace is all the way in Ft. Lauderdale. I don’t have anything in common with my team. I hate it.”

“You’ll be brought up, just give it time. Not everyone goes straight in,” Jayden said, and Markus nodded.

“I know. I’m just impatient and bored.”

“Try being me. I’ve played hockey my whole life, and now that’s all gone. I’m growing a child, and I have no hockey.
