“She can’t have that,” Mackenzie scolds me.
“Why not?” I look between my sisters.
“Because she’s pregnant,” Mackenzie states.
“You’re pregnant?” I turn to Zoe.
“Shit,” Zoe mumbles.
“You didn’t tell her?” Mackenzie turns to Zoe.
“She has a lot on her plate,” Zoe adds.
“Not so much that I couldn’t handle finding out you’re pregnant,” I tell her before pulling her into a hug which sloshes the glass of wine over my hand.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner. I just didn’t know when the right time would be. It was a surprise. We weren’t trying to get pregnant.”
“It was inevitable with the amount of sex the three of you have,” Mackenzine says, rolling her eyes.
“I’m going to be an Aunty.” I squeal. This is the most amazing news. “Wait a minute, whose baby, is it?”
Mackenzie gasps beside me. “You can’t ask those things.”
Zoe chuckles. “We don’t know, and it doesn’t matter whose DNA it is, Mateo and Tomas are the baby’s Daddy.”
“I bet Mum is ecstatic.”
“That’s why they have retired. After you went missing, Dad quit being an ambassador and they moved here full-time,” Sophie explains.
“How far along are you?”
“Four months.”
“You were pregnant just before I left.”
“When you were kidnapped. You haven’t come back from a fricken holiday,” Sophie grumbles beside me.
Zoe shakes her head. “I didn’t know. I thought I was sick from losing you. It was horrible having something as amazing as this happen at a time like that.”
“I’m sorry, I ruined it.”
“Please don’t think that. It gave me hope to keep going. To fight even harder to find you because this little one needed its aunty to come back safely,” she says, rubbing her stomach. Now I notice the bump.
“Do you know if you’re having a boy or a girl?”
Zoe shakes her head. “It’s too early, but we are going to wait to find out.”
“Which is annoying for us who want to buy her baby presents,” Mackenzie states.
“Can’t you tell from her scans what she’s having?” Sophie asks.
“Don’t you dare,” Zoe warns.
“Fine. I’ll make sure not to peek,” Mackenzie says with a grin. She’s so not keeping that promise.
“I can’t believe you’re having a baby.”
“Bet you didn’t think anyone could top you falling for your kidnapper, hey?” Mackenzie jokes.
