“I'm in,” Coop quickly hollered.
“Seriously?” Mac scowled. “You're going to use Jake and Olivia's dinner as a way to make money?”
Coop shrugged. “And?”
Derek shook his head but grinned. Some days those two bickered like an old married couple.
“I guess I shouldn't place a bet,” he told the others smugly. “Since I already know what they're gonna tell us.”
“You do?” Coop and Grant both asked simultaneously.
“Sure. Our sly boss, here, put a bun in his cute little wife's oven.”
Trevor's eyes shot to Jake, who was looking back at Derek with a surprised look on his face.
“Holy, shit,” Derek sat up straight. “Is that it? Did I guess it right? I was just messin' with y'all, but...damn, Jake. Is Liv really pregnant?”
Jake swallowed and schooled his expression. “No. That's not...no.”
Derek's smile spread from ear to ear. “Sheis, isn't she?” He clapped his hands loudly. “Hot diggity, y'all. Bossman's gonna be a daddy.”
Jake glanced at Trevor then back to the rest of the team. He sighed loudly. “Damn, D. How the hell did you know?”
Laughing, Derek put his hands up defensively. “I didn't. I swear. I was just throwin' that shit out there.”
“Great. Now it's going to be my ass when Liv realizes you all knew before she got the chance to announce it. That was the whole point of tomorrow night.”
“Well, no offense, Boss...” Coop came to Derek’s rescue. “But you're usually a bit better at controlling your reactions than that.”
“Fuck.” Jake shook his head then gave them all a crooked grin. “Guess I’m just too damned excited.”
“Seriously, man.” Derek gave him a nod. “That's awesome. Congratulations.”
“Thanks, D.” After more cheers of celebration, Jake quieted them down. “Here's the deal, though. You guyshaveto act surprised when Liv tells you.”
“Don't worry,” Mac smiled, looking at Jake from over the seat again. “I've been practicing my shocked face for two weeks.”
For the second time in as many minutes, their boss looked stunned. Raising his dark brows to Mac, he asked, “You already knew?”
Realizing she'd slipped up, Mac cringed. “Yeah. Sorry. Liv told me when we went shopping a couple of weeks ago.”
“That little minx.”
“Don't be mad at her, Jake. She was just excited and really wanted to tell someone. And, let's face it. I am awesome at keeping secrets.”
Derek noticed the glance Coop shot at her before wiping the odd look off his face and joining in on the conversation.
“Yeah, Boss. Girls always tell their friends shit they're not supposed to.”
“He's right.” Trevor looked at Jake. “Can't get mad at her for telling Mac when you told me.”
“Whoa, hold up,” Coop hollered out, sounding offended. “You told Matthews, but you didn't tell the rest of us?”
“Oh, for fuck's sake.” Jake rolled his eyes. “This is why I hate surprises. Y'all know now, okay?”
“Well, yeah, but Trevor knew before us.” Derek shook his head. “That's like telling one of your kids somethin’ but keeping it a secret from the rest of them.” He pretended to pout. “That’s just mean, Jake.”
Jake chuckled then looked down at his watch. “If you’re all done giving me shit, I'm pretty sure we're about forty-five minutes to landing.”
