Page 100 of Forever Enough
Her voice trailed off as I gave her a warning look.
“And what?” Avery asked.
“Nothing,” I replied. “It was a long time ago, and that was a dream that wasn’t meant to be.”
Bradly reached for my hand and gave it a light squeeze. “It’s never too late to follow a dream.”
I smiled at him. “I found a new one that means more to me.”
He blinked a few times before he grinned and brought my hand up to his lips to kiss it.
“Okay, well, can we all just agree that you sing beautifully, and if I had known you when I got married, I totally would have had you sing at my wedding,” Rose said with a wide smile.
With a chuckle, I replied, “Thank you so much.”
“Wow,” Morgan said as she leaned into Ryan. “This has been such a fun day. I didn’t realize how much I needed a girls’ day.”
Georgiana nodded. “It has been, and I totally agree with you. We have to do this more often.”
“Agreed! I hate that Kipton wasn’t here to join us,” Rose stated as she snuggled closer to Bryson. “Pretty soon we’ll have to have playdates instead of girls’ day or girls’ night out,” she added as she fought to hold back a smile.
Morgan lifted a brow. “I’ve been trying to pinpoint exactly what’s different about you today, Rose, and I think I just figured it out.”
Giving her cousin a look of mock confusion, Rose asked, “Whatever do you mean?”
All the women at the table let out a shriek of excitement…well, everyone except me and Emily. We both looked confused.
“What’s happening?” Emily asked, leaning closer to me.
I shrugged. “I’m not sure.”
“Rose is pregnant,” Bradly replied to both of us, a wide smile on his face.
Suddenly Rose was standing, along with her husband Bryson, and everyone was hugging them and congratulations were shouted all around.
Emily and I waited last to offer up our happy wishes to the couple. Rose was practically glowing, and how none of us had noticed was beyond me. And Bryson looked extremely happy.
Avery walked over to Bradly and sighed. “Well, it’s us and the two troublemakers left to populate the family with more babies.”
Bradly laughed and shook his head. “Don’t count on me and Kenzie adding to that count quite yet.”
My stomach swooped and my heart tumbled around in my chest. A baby with Bradly. Yes please. But not too soon.
“Troublemakers?” Doug asked.
“Joshua and Nathan, our cousins,” Bradly said. “You three are still single, so it’ll be a long while.” He pulled me to him and smiled at his sister. “At least I’m taken.”
“Darn right, you are,” I agreed, before pressing a kiss to his lips.
“And that means Mom and Grams will be bugging you two about babies, just like Uncle Ty and Aunt Kaylee did with Rose and Bryson. The heat is off me and the boys. We’re in the clear.”
I laughed. “Until the lovebug strikes.”
Avery rolled her eyes. “Please. I have a better chance of lightning striking me than I do falling in love with someone.”
Bradly raised a single brow. “Better watch out there, little sister. It appears to happen when you least expect it.” He looked at me and winked.
“Well, not for me.” Avery shrugged before walking back over to Rose and Bryson.
