Which meant he had to grow some bigger balls to not let that shit bother him, when in the past it would have.
Guess he was more messed up in the head than he thought.
“Good. I hid some eggs for Maverick. It’d be cute to see him running around looking for them. Got him a basket too. One for Hunter, but he’s not going to know much different.”
“Should I have gotten something for them?” he asked. He wasn’t used to considering kids in any decisions.
He enjoyed being around them, even babies, but it was still new to him.
This holiday, there were two.
“It’s fine,” his mother said. “No one would expect you to think of it.”
He laughed at his mother’s smirk.
The door opened from the kitchen and Maverick came running in toward his mother, yelling, “Ring in eggs. Ring in eggs.”
“What?” his mother asked.
“I’m engaged,” Jocelyn yelled, moving to her mother, her hand out showing the ring off.
“Oh my God,” his mother yelled and hugged his sister.
He looked at Chance standing there with his eyebrow lifted.
He had been a dick when he found out who his twin was dating. Jumped to conclusions and thought she could do a lot better.
The happiness from his sister said no, she couldn’t. She got exactly what she’d been waiting for. What she deserved.
“Congrats.” He put his hand out to shake Chance’s. “Let me guess, the ring was in an egg?”
“Yes,” Jocelyn said. “Not hard to figure out. I went to make breakfast and opened the container and there was a plastic one in there for me.”
“I thought it was a nice touch,” Chance said.
“That’s very sweet,” his mother said.
“What’s all the yelling?” his father asked, coming into the room with his glasses on. Which said his father was in the office doing something. Even if he was only reading the news, he went in there routinely for the peace and quiet.
“I’m getting married, Dad,” Jocelyn yelled and hugged their father.
“Get ready to open up your wallet, Dad. Knowing Jocelyn, it’s going to be something special.”
“Nah,” Jocelyn said. “No long engagement. I promise. Nothing over the top either. I want it sooner rather than later.” His twin turned to Chance. “I want a baby. I don’t want to wait much longer.”
“Oh Lord,” his mother said. “I get it. Let’s try not to have to get a gown and then have it resized too much, please.”
Chance put his hands up. “Not my call. My hands are full with this one. Jocelyn says she has it covered.”
“Don’t worry, we know I’ve got it under control. Things are nuts with the house, but in a few months we’ll be settled.”
“Are you selling your condo?” Jayce asked his sister.
“I will put it up for sale once I have a closing date on the house. I don’t want to feel rushed.”
His head went back and forth. “So another month?”
“At least. Why?”
