Harm laughed. “I told you he was smart.”
“We weren’t sleeping together yet, so shows what you know,” I retorted.
“Matter of time,” Baylor pointed out.
“Okay, well, there’s been a development.”
“You’re engaged,” Baylor guessed.
“Okay, let your mom have a little glory,” Harm said.
“Sorry, Mom,” Baylor said.
I smiled, squeezing Harm’s thigh. “It’s all good, honey. Yes, we’re engaged. Um, but I’m also going to have a baby.”
“Holy shit,” Briggs said, at the same time as Baylor’s, “Right on!”
I grimaced, holding my breath, awaiting their responses.
“I’m gonna be a big brother,” Briggs said.
“I’ll feel more like an uncle,” Baylor said.
“We’ll be like bruncles,” Briggs said.
“Yeah, we’ll be bruncles,” Baylor agreed. “That’s awesome, Mom.”
I let out my breath. “Yeah?”
“Yeah, Mom,” Briggs said.
“Are you sure?”
“Hell, yeah,” Baylor said. “Oh my god, this is fantastic. We’re really happy for you. I can’t wait to meet our little brother or sister.”
“Me neither,” Briggs said.
I couldn’t stop the tears as I leaned heavily against Harm. “I love you both so much.”
“Love you too, Mom,” Briggs said.
“I hate to cut this short, but I have to meet my new boss for lunch,” Baylor said.
“No worries, honey,” I said. “We’ll talk this week.”
“Definitely,” he said. “Love you. Congratulations. See ya, Harm.”
“Bye, bud.”
We rang off with Briggs as well, then I faced Harm. “Wow.”
“You were worried about nothing,” he said.
“I totally was.”
He chuckled. “I love you, beautiful.”
“I love you, too.”
