I could hear Sebastian sigh all the way across the room, and I silently giggled.
“Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, so why don’t we go into the dining room and sit down?”
Setting Arlo down in his bouncy seat, I took my seat next to Sebastian and discreetly slipped on my ring. Taking hold of my hand from under the table, he lightly gave it a squeeze.
“So, what’s going on with the shelter?” my mom asked.
“Nothing. The shelter is doing really well,” I replied. “There’s something else I need to tell you.”
“OH MY GOD, YOU’RE PREGNANT!” Sienna shouted from across the table.
I held up my left hand. “Sebastian and I are getting married!” I exclaimed.
“Holy shit, look at that ring!” Sienna squealed. “Congratulations!”
“Oh, sweetheart, congratulations,” my mom spoke as she wiped her eye.
“Wow. My daughter is getting married.” My dad stood up from his chair.
“Way to go, you two.” Sam smiled.
Sebastian and I got up from our seats and made our rounds of hugs.
“So, are you pregnant?” Sienna asked.
“No. I’m not pregnant. Just engaged.”
“Have you set a date yet?” my mom asked.
“No. It just happened last night. We wanted you to be the first to know.” There was no way I was telling them that I already told Connor and Ellery.
“There’s something else,” Sebastian spoke. “I’m purchasing a townhouse on West 85th Street for the two of us.”
“An engagement and a new house. How exciting.” My mom grinned. “I’m so happy for the both of you.” She hugged us again.
It was a wonderful evening spent with family. We drank, laughed, and had great conversations. Every time I looked at Sebastian, his face displayed a mouthwatering smile. He fit in with us perfectly, and he knew it.
“Well, we better get going and get Arlo home to bed,” my mom spoke.
“Yeah. I’m sure the two of them want to go have sex again to celebrate this night.” My dad winked.
“We sure do!” I grinned as I patted Sebastian’s ass.
“Chloe!” He shot me a look.
“Get used to it, babe. You’re part of this sex-crazed family now.” I smiled.
He slowly shook his head as we walked to the door and hugged each of them goodbye. After brushing my teeth, I climbed into bed and blew in Sebastian’s face.
“I’m all fresh for you now and my mouth isn’t the only thing.” I smiled.
He let out a growl as he pulled me on top of him. “Good to know because your mouth won’t be the only thing I’ll be spending a lot of time on.”
“Bring it on, fiancé.” I brushed my lips against his.
