“Hell if I know,” Kingston said.“Adley’s cock-blocking.”
“Oh God,” Freak and Clash said at the same time.
Mason whistled.
“Everyone shut up,” Adley said, stepping forward with one hand resting on her stomach.
“Oh my God,” Wendy gasped.
“What?”Fox asked.“Is Wendy dying?”
Nikki smacked him.“Shut up.”
Adley smiled, eyes shining.“Mason and I are having a baby.”
The room exploded.
Cheers.Gasps.Laughter.Shouts.
“I’m gonna be a grandma,” Wendy cried.She rushed to Adley and pulled her into a hug.Slayer approached Mason, and for a second, none of us knew what was going to happen.
Slayer hadn’t been exactly welcoming when Mason and Adley had gotten together.
“A baby?”Slayer said.
Mason nodded.“Yes, sir.”
Slayer looked at Adley.“You gonna make an honest woman out of her?”
“Dad,” Adley gasped.
“Easy,” Mason said to Adley.Mason reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box.“Your dad is right.”
Slayer nodded to Mason, giving his silent blessing.
“Oh my God!”Alice called.“If this isn’t the best night ever, I don’t know what the hell is.”
“Shush,” Karmen hissed.“He hasn’t even asked her yet.”
“I think we should just have a supply of popcorn around at all times,” Jude muttered.
Mason moved to Adley and grabbed her hand.“I know we ha—”
“YES!”Adley screamed.“Yes to whatever you were going to say.A million times yes!”Adley looked around.“YES!”
“Jesus,” Mason chuckled.“I was nervous as hell, and you didn’t even let me get the damn words out.”He opened the box and took out the ring.
“Wait!”Adley said.
“Popcorn,” Jude muttered.
“Has your craziness been wearing off on her?”Karmen asked Alice.
“I’m gonna throw my sandal at her if she changes her mind,” Alice threatened.
Adley took a deep breath.“Ask me.”
“I was trying to,” Mason laughed.He tucked the box in his pocket and held the ring up to Adley.“Adley Marie, will you marry me?”
