My worry returns as we walk into the house, through the entrance hall, and straight to the kitchen, where the blonde from the restaurant is cutting salad.

She turns when she hears us and walks over to Seb. She gives him a side hug before looking at me with a kind smile. I can't return it as I feel sick with worry at what Seb is going to say, the girl is very beautiful with a perfect figure and bright-green eyes around a near perfect face, too. She still looks so familiar, but I can't place it, and I end up really staring at her as I try to figure it out.

"Maisy, this is Izzy, my sister. Izzy, this is Maisy," Seb says, and I'm in shock as my jaw drops. I move closer, so I can look at her more, and I can see it in her face; she has similar looks to Harley I would say. The most obvious thing is the eyes, they are nearly the same as Seb’s, the same as all the King Brothers, a bright green.

"Wow, a sister, huh?” I ask Seb, who grins and moves to my side.

“It’s nice to meet you, Izzy." I hold out my hand, which she shoves away gently, pulling me into a hug instead.

"I've heard so much about you, and it’s great to finally be able to put a face to the name," she says, smiling at me as she pulls away.

"I hope it’s all good things," I joke.

"Of course, Allie and Sebastian haven't stopped talking about you since the restaurant. Sorry we didn't get a chance to speak then,"she offers.

"Me, too." I smile, and I instantly like her. I’m a little jealous of how pretty she is, but she is a King, and they all look like gods, of course, their sister would be a knockout.

"I've cooked lasagne with a side salad. I checked online, and it's all stuff you can have while pregnant."She grins, and my heart tightens a little at how much she clearly cares already.

"Thank you, you didn’t have to go to so much trouble for me," I say, and I mean it.

"Told you, you would like her," Allie says with a grin. It's clear they are close, and I hope I can be that close to Allie again, maybe even become friends with Izzy.

"Hand your phone over now, missy," Allie says with an open hand, and I pull it out of my bag. Allie instantly takes it from my hand with a big grin.

“Same password as usual?” Allie asks with a knowing smirk, I don’t want to admit it because I know I shouldn’t have an easy password to guess.

“Yes.” I sigh with a blush, and Seb smirks at me, clearly thinking the same thing.

"What are you doing?" I ask while she pulls out her own phone and starts typing away.

"I'm going to put everyone's number in and text them, so you have our numbers," she says as if it’s obvious.

Izzy goes back to cooking as I try to hop onto a stool, and I find it embarrassing that I can't get up onto it. Just as I give up, two large hands lift me up by my hips and place me onto the stool. I glance over to see Sebastian smiling, but he doesn't say anything, and I nod at him in thanks as I’m sure my cheeks are redder than a tomato.

“So a new sister, how did that happen?" I ask Sebastian as he sits as close as he can to me on another stool, the whole side of his body is pressed against mine, and I resist the urge to lay my head on his shoulder.

"Our Dad left information on Izzy in his will, but we only read it earlier this year. So, Harley found her and got custody so she could live with us instead of foster care,"he tells me quietly.

"She seems nice," I say with a smile.

"She is. Until you came home, she was the only one to make me smile," he whispers just to me, and my heart beats faster when he says that, but I look away because I can't deal with the pain.

Allie hands me back my phone with a smile and a question, "What's it like being pregnant?"

"It’s difficult. I feel like I'm carrying a watermelon around, but at the same time, it feels amazing. Every time he kicks, I don’t feel alone anymore," I sayas she looks at me curiously.

"I can't wait to meet him. With both of your good looks, he is going to be a heartbreaker." She grins.

"If he looks anything like his mum, then he will be," Sebastian says, and I blush.

"I'm sure he will inherit the Kings’ good looks," I say.

I regret it when Sebastian says,"See, I knew you still want me."

"Pregnancy hormones make me crazy,"I say back quickly.

"Sure, hormones . . ." He laughs, and Allie gives me a look that says she knows too much.
