For Worse or For Better- Book #6 in the WF Series

Chapter 34: News

"Hi, what can I get started for you today?" The waitress walks up to us, hopefully not noticing the fact that all of the guys were just arguing about something so minor.

Everyone orders, although, I notice something weird happening.

The waiter's eyes are locked on Eldon who is literally only paying attention to the menu to see what his wife and daughter would enjoy or Ivy. Although, that isn't stopping the girl.

Ivy isn't the type of person to hate on women, especially over a man. She is a firm believer that women were made to be ten times better than men...except if that woman is seeing that there is a ring on her husband's finger which is resting on the table, a woman is sitting right beside him who also has a ring on her finger, and the man is paying no attention to her.

Then she gets protective over what's hers, though it's subtle.

I see Eldon looking over at Ivy and noticing her trying her best to be respectful to the girl who keeps getting distracted due to her eyes wandering back to Eldon. He notices the way Ivy's eyes keep glancing back at the waitress and then to everyone else when they order, and then back again when there would be a pause.

Eldon decides to lean over and whisper something in Ivy's ear, and right after, I see Eldon grab her hand and bring it to his lips where her ring is, kissing it. Then he puts his arm around her back, whispering to her some more before they get lost in a conversation. Ivy's smile that appears because of his reassurance brings joy to me immediately, the worry about the waitress dissolving from her expression.

My Kaivy heart just erupted.

Dinner goes by pretty well.

The food was amazing. The kids were very well-behaved. I only had to get up a few times and that was to change Aubrey's diaper and help Autumn a little with her food. Roman fed Dayton who found a lot of entertainment in Josephine. She talked to him for a while in their own little language.

Iris and Legend tell us that they've already ordered dessert, but they haven't told us what it is yet.

As we're waiting, multiple waiters suddenly come around with little boxes which have a ribbon on top of each one.

"Open them," Iris says, practically bouncing in her seat.

I open my box with everyone else.

A piece of paper with a pacifier is first seen, and when we all turn it around, we see the two words that bring excitement and happiness to all our hearts.

We're Pregnant!

"You're fucking lying!" Ivy's the first one to yell.

"Wait, really?" Ellie; one of Legend and Iris's kids says, her surprise a little suspicious though.

"You told her?" Iris tilts her head at Legend.

"She asked," he defends himself.

"That's true." Ellie shrugs.

"Wait, are you being serious right now?!" Bethane asks as we see the tears gather in Iris's eyes from how happy she is.

"We finally found a good surrogate," Iris laughs, trying not to burst out crying.
