Devin plated our food, handing me a dish with my turkey sub on it. We stood at the kitchen island, eating as we spoke.
“Well, if the other two idiots are to be believed, she’s been talking to them via voice notes, so they are convinced she is who she says she is,” Devin said before taking a bite.
My phone buzzed, and I pulled it out, seeing a new message in our group chat with Maple.
“Speak of the angel,” I said, showing the screen and the notification to Devin.
Maple
I got a sonogram picture!
S
You better show us!
J
Girl or boy?
Devin frowned as he checked his own phone. “Those two are supposed to be at practice.”
I shrugged. “I’m sure Coach will yell at them for it.” I also wanted to see the sonogram image, but I didn’t want Maple to be bombarded with requests, because I knew if she didn’t send it soon, Saint would be incessant enough for the group of us.
Devin sighed. “And I’m sure they won’t give a shit. Those boys are acting like lovesick fools.”
“I mean, can you blame them? The idea that someone wants us just for us and enjoys talking to us is a nice idea.”
“It’s a nice fantasy. Maybe we should let the security guys take a closer look at her. You know, I was all for that in the beginning. The only reason I didn’t go ahead with it is because Saint begged me.”
I nodded, running a hand through my hair. “Admit it, you’ve gotten pretty attached to talking to her as well. I know for a fact, if we had never started chatting, you wouldn’t have two plantswith curse words for names sitting on your windowsill right now.”
Our phones buzzed again, and we both looked at our phone screens. A little picture filled the chat—the sonogram image.
“Oh, wow…that is a baby,” I said lamely.
Devin opened his mouth to respond but was cut off when our pack group chat that didn’t have Maple in it dinged.
Saint
I reverse image searched the sonogram pic. It’s real. Maple really is pregnant!
“Well, there goes your suggestion that it’s a fake photo.” I laughed as Devin looked flummoxed.
I tapped into the Maple group chat.
P
Is all well?
Maple
Baby is growing as they should, and they were good as gold during the sonogram.
S
Clearly, you’re having a sweet little girl, like yourself—wait, did you find out?
Maple
