“I figured you would, caveman.”
“Hmm, do I need to remind you what a caveman I can be? I’m pretty sure there’s a room somewhere around here I can haul you into. I can still feel you wrapped around my dick. Makes me hard thinking about this afternoon.”
“Declan!” I look around to make sure no one heard. My face burns with embarrassment.
“Don’t be embarrassed baby, it was fucking hot.” He pulls me to him and squeezes my ass.
“I see some things don’t change. You two have spent the last three months attached at the fucking hip, and you’re still all over each other.” Charlie joins us.
“Always Charlie, being all over her is my favorite place to be, unless you count being in her.” Declan responds and I gasp.
“Good one.” Charlie clinks her beer with his.
I follow them back to the area where are friends are partying. Our parents were thrilled to see us, but more so I think they wanted to see for themselves I am indeed pregnant. My mom immediately commented on the glow of my hair and skin. I wore a long maxi-dress to help hide my tiny bump, but my boobs are visibly larger. I’m surprised one of my girlfriends didn’t comment. Robbie walks back to where we are with Ember and her eyes jumps from my stomach to my face. Robbie told her. She smiles sweetly at me and mouths ‘congratulations.’ I nod my head, and tears fill my eyes again.
“What?” I ask when the group gets quiet, and all eyes are on me.
“Something’s not quite right.” Kendall answers.
“How so?”
“Well, let’s see. You’re not drinking, you’re boobs are huge, you’ve teared up three times tonight already–over nothing. Jenna looks like she’s won the lottery and David and James are watching you like you’re made of porcelain.”
“Kendall!”
Declan comes up and wraps his arms around my shoulders. His mouth to my ear he whispers, “Busted.”
“Are you knocked up?” Charlie says so loud that people around us look at me.
Declan start laughing against my neck, and I try to deny her but I laugh too.
“Yeah, although I like the term pregnant a lot more than knocked-up.”
Cheers and screams come from our group as Declan and I are engulfed in hugs. I look over Harper’s shoulder and see Finn walking up at the end of the announcement. He gives me a mega-watt smile and chin lift. Now that the secret is out my mom takes the opportunity to announce it’s twins and the looks of shock are hilarious.
A stagehand comes over to tell Declan it’s almost time for Sayge to take the stage. He leads me away and walks us to the side.
“Come on, hop up.”
I jump on him and wrap my legs around his waist. He kisses me deeply until someone taps him on the shoulder, and he pulls back.
“You know, pretty soon, I won’t fit in your arms like this.”
“Sparkle, you’ll always fit in my arms.”
“I love you Declan.”
“Not nearly as much as I love you. I’ve told you before, but I need to repeat it. Raven, you’re my reason for breathing.”
Tears pool in my eyes knowing how lucky I am. I give him a quick peck and jump down. “Go dazzle your hometown crowd, Rock God.”
He goes the other guys on the side stage waiting to walk out together. The crowd goes wild, and all the other bands gather around the side stage to watch. The other three wives I know give me a smile and wave knowing what I feel at this moment.
Pride, happiness, and overwhelming love consumes me. Surrounded by our family and friends, Sayge gives the best performance of their career.
