Josh glanced at me for help. Hell if I knew who Flounder was—but I was hardly admitting that. They’d probably burn me at the stake for committing such a parenting fauxpas.
“Men, it looks like we’ll have to stage an intervention,” Sean said to his sidekicks. The smirk? Yeah, I’d be worried about ittoo.
“What kind of intervention?” Josh asked, looking between theguys.
“The Disney princesskind.”
“But…we’re having a son.” Josh gently rubbed my belly, as if looking for further confirmation that Noah was indeed a boy. “Why would I have to know anything about Disneyprincesses?”
Travis crackedup.
Jyri waved it off. “That’s irrelevant. It’s essential you know who they all are. Like for example, who is the mermaid inThe LittleMermaid?”
“You mean the hot one?” Josh glanced at me and I shrugged. The character’s name was sitting on the tip of my tongue—ornot.
“I guess if you’re into animated characters,” Mark replied, “yes, the hot one. Her name is Ariel. Does that ring abell?”
Josh shrugged and I sympathetically patted his hand on mystomach.
“Again, you seriously expect me to care about the Disney princesses when I’m having a son?” Josh asked, the corner of his mouth curled up in aWhat-the-fuck-happened-to-your-balls?smirk. Pretty much the same one asTravis’s.
Sean turned to the two other men. “Quick, name the princess who lives with seven shortmen.”
“Christ, even I know that one,” Josh said. “SnowWhite.”
Judging from Travis’s expression, this was news tohim.
“Okay…name the princess who falls in love with the Beast, who incidentally looks a lot better than in his true prince form in the animated version of themovie.”
Bridget, Kari, and Becca nodded in agreement. Josh rolled hiseyes.
“That’s easy,” Mark said. “Belle.”
“Correct.” Sean threw Josh a look that said, “Even Mark—who has a son—knows theanswer.”
Josh rolled his eyes again, and Travis burst out laughing oncemore.
Ignoring them, Sean said, “Next question. Name the two sisters who lived in the Scandinavian-likekingdom?”
“Princess Anna and Queen Elsa,” Jyri said, close to jumping on the spot like a kid who had to go to the loo,badly.
Sean beamed at him as if Jyri was his prized student. “Correct. And name Elsa’s magicpowers.”
“She can turn things to ice with herhands.”
I snickered at Josh’s expression. The one that said he wanted to turn Sean toice.
“And for the final question of the night, what is Sleeping Beauty’s real name?” Seanasked.
“Aurora,” both Mark and Jyri called out at the same time—a little too enthusiastically, waking Mark’s sleepingprince.
The baby stirred at first, then let out a pissed-off cry. He didn’t have a chance to protest for too long. Mark swept his son from Becca’s arms and cooed to the infant, settling himdown.
Likemagic.
“Wow, you’re good,” Josh said to histeammate.
Mark puffed out his chest. Becca snorted alaugh.
