Tara and Noah shook their heads and said they’d catch me soon.
“We wanted you to be the first to know,” they shared a look. “Well, besides Peyton of course. We were going to tell everyone this week, but we didn’t want to overshadow your party.”
“What are you talking about Addi?”
“We won’t be able to come to Hawaii this summer.”
“No? Shit,” I said, a grin splitting my face as it dawned on me. “Are you?”
She nodded, grinning as widely as I was. “I’m pregnant!”
“Well, hell, now we have another reason to celebrate.”
“We don’t want to tell everyone tonight. This is for you.”
I was already off my stool and on the way to where the DJ was set up. I told him I needed to make an announcement and waved Addi and Joey up to the front. The music faded out and I spoke.
“I want to thank everyone for coming tonight. My future sister-in-law did an amazing job, didn’t she?”
The crowd cheered.
“I just found out that there’s another reason to celebrate tonight. My brother is getting married this summer and a lot of our friends won’t be able to make it. I’ll miss them, but it’s nice that Peyton, Carrie, and Addi are all pregnant.”
The murmurs in the crowd started small and gradually rose.
“Can we please congratulate these three beautiful women on their pregnancies? Their husbands are lucky bastards!”
The crowd cheered again, and I watched as my friends surrounded Addi and Joey. They cried and laughed and hugged. As I stood there watching them I knew I’d never forget a single one of them.
And I was going to miss the hell out of them.

About the Author
Mary E. Thompson spent most of her childhood wishing she had a few less curves. She hid between the pages of books because her favorite characters never cared what size her clothes were. Now, neither does Mary, and she writes stories about women like her. Real women who have curves, chase dreams, and find love, because we should all be happy, no matter what size we are.
When Mary’s not reading or crafting stories, she’s playing with her two kids or living out her own real life romance with her amazing, curve-loving hubby. She has a weakness for chocolate and will fight you for the last peanut butter cup. Unless you trade her for a glass of wine. Then everyone can be friends.
