We all surround her, kissing and hugging her. “I'll leave you for a few minutes, and then we can talk about your next steps.”
Colt walks over, offering his hand to the doc. “Thank you, Sir.”
“My pleasure. I'm glad today was some happy news.”
“A daughter. We are going to have a little girl,” Teo mumbles, then looks at me and swallows.
I laugh and walk over to him. “I will help you. I read so many books when…”
I shake my head and shrug. We still have a lot to talk about and work through, but for right now, we can just be excited and celebrate the little girl that will be joining us in three short months.
As we pullup to the cheer house, Teo parks, then jumps out and runs to Rylee's side, helping her.
“I'm pregnant, Teo, not an invalid,” she sasses, and Donny laughs.
“Oh, Cherry, we are going to be worse than helicopter parents with you. For the next three months, think of us like your own personal genies. Any wish you command will be yours.”
I climb out of the backseat and Colt whispers something to Teo. He hands him his keys and Colt jumps into the driver's side. Donny kisses Rylee, then joins him in the passenger seat.
“Are you guys not coming?” Rylee asks, and Donny shakes his head.
“Are you kidding? We have so much to do, to prepare and shop for. We are making an urgent trip to the mall. Our little princess needs to be spoiled.”
He slams the door and Colt quickly drives off.
Rylee sniffles and then sighs. “Fuck, how did I get so lucky?”
I take her hand and help her inside. Some of the girls are waiting in the living room. Serenity and Sabrina quickly stand and rush over.
“Are you okay? What happened? Don't ever scare me like that again,” Serenity scolds, then sniffles.
Rylee moves away from me and pulls her into a big hug. She whispers something to her, and I know she just spilled the beans.
“Oh. Oh. I have to go call Alex.” Serenity rushes off and Sabrina gives Rylee a quick hug.
“I'm really glad you're okay,” she says, then walks away.
Teo wraps his arm around Rylee, and she cuddles into his side. I'm happy that he's here for her, but I'm also jealous.
Things between them are so effortless. I know it's my own fault, and we will get there again, but I still feel left out.
“Hey, I'm going to go. Let me know if you need anything. Both of you,” I murmur and wave.
Rylee stops and grabs my hand. “Stay. It's time we talked.”
I nod and she gives me a smile. I follow them to Teo's room and he shuts the door, essentially trapping me with them.
Fuck. I hope this doesn't end badly.
Len leans against the door, looking at me nervously, as Rylee sits on my bed. My cock jumps, and I mentally tell it to calm the fuck down.
Right now isn't the time to be hard. Rylee just learned that the baby she thought she lost is still here. The baby that none of us, except that dickbag, Trevor, knew about.
Rylee sighs, wringing her fingers together. “I know you're mad. When I first found out, I didn't want to say anything until recent events had calmed down. You were a wreck, Teo.”
I groan and rub my face. “Did you even stop to think that finding out you were having a baby may have prevented all the heartache and spiraling?”
Rylee opens her mouth, but I hold up my hand.
