His smile faded. “Hey.”

“Once again…how far along is she?” Ensley repeated.

“Eight weeks.”

“Oh my God, Caden. You took her virginity and got her pregnant at the same time?”

“Ensley!” I whisper-shouted. “Seriously?”

“Wow,” Gatlin said, putting up a hand. “Holy shit! This is like…too much information to process at once. Dude!” He leaned closer to me and lowered his voice. “You were her first?”

I closed my eyes and suddenly wished I’d locked my front door and changed the code.

“When did you find out?” Ensley asked.

“A couple days ago. We went to the doctor yesterday.” I smiled in wonder. “We got to hear the heartbeat.”

They both grinned. Before anything else could be said, Lilibeth walked back into the kitchen, a forced smile on her face.

“What did I miss?” she asked.

Ensley and Gatlin both looked at me.

Fuck.

Lilibeth

The way all three siblings were looking at each other, I knew they knew.

Caden looked at me with an apologetic expression. “They know. Ensley guessed.”

“And he told me last night,” Gatlin said smugly, pointing at Caden. When I gave him a look, he gave me an apologetic grin.

I slid onto my stool with a sigh. “You’d have found out soon anyway, when I moved in here.”

Gatlin made a sound that I could only describe as a girlish gasp.

“Wait, you’re moving in with Caden?” Ensley asked.

Gatlin grabbed his beer. “This is like a movie playing out right before my eyes.”

“Have you told Mom and Dad?”

“Yes, last night.”

Ensley leaned forward. “How did they take it?”

“They were both happy and supportive.”

All eyes went to me. “Mine were supportive, but they want to buy me a house and don’t think I should move in with Caden.”

“Why not? You’re both grown adults, and you’re having a baby together. Makes sense that Caden would want you here.”

“And not in that tiny apartment of yours,” Ensley added. “When are you moving in?”

Caden and I exchanged a look before he cleared his throat and answered. “We haven’t really talked about it. I mean, we have, just not in detail.”

“Oh shit. Is that what we crashed in on?” Gatlin asked.
