“Oh shit, it was a wedding baby,” my mouth again speaks before my brain can shut it down. Isla glares at me. “Sorry.” I knew it. So, it’s Finn’s, holy shit. Holy shit. I start freaking out, but no one else is freaking out or connecting the dots except Stacey, who turns and looks at me, her eyes as wide as my own.
“Is this true?” Oscar asks her.
“I’m not answering that, it doesn’t matter. What matters now is that we’re here to celebrate Evan and Sienna, not me and my drama.” She turns her back on her brother, essentially putting an end to the conversation. “Sorry about this,” Isla tells Sienna and Evan as she stares at little Levi in Sienna’s arms. This is going to be her in a couple of months.
Oscar storms out of the room, and Stacey is right on his heels.
“I’m sorry I brought my drama to your special day,” Isla says, bursting into tears. Sebastien wraps a protective arm around her, at least she has had some support during this time.
“Congratulations, Is. You’re having a baby. Did you hear that, Levi? You’re going to have a new friend to play with very soon,” Sienna coos to her baby.
“And the twins will have another friend,” Vanessa adds as Isla continues to cry.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you all … it was …” She hiccups through her tears.
“You owe us nothing,” I reassure her. “I can’t imagine how hard it has been for you.”
“I couldn’t have done this without Seb,” she says, looking up at him fondly.
“It’s what friends do,” he tells her. Aw. That’s sweet. I’m glad she’s had him and he’s been that supportive.
“Are you staying?” Vanessa asks.
“I have meetings here about a TV show. If they go well, then I’ll be moving to LA,” Sebastien explains.
“And if not, are you moving back to Spain?” I ask Isla.
“It’s my home and where my job is,” Isla adds.
“You can have your job back here if you want. You would be close to family,” Christian adds.
Isla gives him a small smile. “I haven’t thought that far ahead yet.”
“I’ll support whatever decision she makes,” Sebastien says.
“We all miss you,” I tell Isla.
Tears well in her eyes. “I miss you guys too.”
“You’re having a boy?” Sienna asks, changing the subject.
“I know.” Isla smiles, rubbing her belly.
“Levi and he are going to be the best of friends.” Sienna smiles.
“Watch out, looks like the girls could have another suitor,” I tease Christian and Vanessa.
“Now you can have the joy of your son being set up with the twins.” Evan groans.
“It would be cute. All three of us could be in-laws together,” Vanessa says excitedly, which makes Isla laugh.
Seb whispers something in Isla’s ear, and she reassures him that she is going to be okay. “Sorry, guys, I have to run. I have some meetings to go to. Sienna, Evan, congratulations on your beautiful boy. Isla, I’ll see you later,” he says, kissing her cheek before disappearing.
“And Sebastien isn’t the father?” Vanessa asks. Isla shakes her head. “Such a shame, you would have gorgeous kids.”
“He’s been a blessing I didn’t know I needed,” Isla states.
“We would have been there for you,” Vanessa tells you.
