I need to tell you something [Thomas]

I giggled a little with her, as did Lily.
"See, momma's blushing." she teased me.

"Yep she is" Colleen replied

"You're so mean sometimes." I replied, smiling at the girls.

"Me, mean?" Colleen asked, "I'm not mean Aunt Haylen" Erin added

I chuckled a little.
"Tease ya poor auntie..." I said and smiled. Lily giggled.

Colleen and Erin shook their heads

I smiled a little.

"Aunt Haylen, your glowing" Erin said to her

I looked at her and smiled a little.
"Am I now?"

Erin smiled and giggled, "Yep" she replied

I giggled a little and winked at Erin.

Erin smiled, then winked back

I smiled, as did Keven. A bit later the waiter came and took our orders.

Keven ordered first, then Thomas and his family

The waiter noted their orders and then left again to get them ready.

after the waiter left, Thomas looked at Haylen

I looked at him and smiled a bit. I'd have to say the news again, that was clear.

Thomas nodded to her as he held Shannon's hand

I smiled a bit, then glanced at Keven who gave me a nod as well. And so I took a deep breath and told them what I told Thomas earlier that day.

Shannon and the girls looked at Haylen, "Congrats Haylen" Shannon said to her

I smiled at them, obviously happy. "Thank you."

"Your welcome" Shannon replied

I smiled at them and was just happy at that moment.

at the same time, the food they ordered came

While everyone ate they were talking about regular stuff, like work and what's been going on after hours. And of course me being pregnant was the topic of the night, as expected, but we just shared some old stories, while the girls talked about other things or asked tons of questions.
