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

Chapter 47: Cruise

I laugh because that's a very high possibility. Dayton gets car sick very easily, especially if he sleeps or sometimes when he just sits inside the car and knows that it's going to move. That's why I brought a change of clothes and have bags ready just in case.

Roman and I get into the car and drive to the place where the ship departs.

It's a seven-day trip so it's very long, meaning Autumn wouldn't be going to school for a little bit. Thankfully though, we send her to a school where a lot of parents who have jobs where they travel a lot go to, so going online for kids is normal and an easy option. All of our friend's kid's go to either Autumn's school or the same kind where they're able to do online as well which is why going on this trip wasn't an issue.

We park where all kinds and sizes of boats surround us, and when we go to the one Sanchez told us to board, I'm in awe.

The boat is beautiful.

There's only us on this cruise because as we all know, Sanchez hates most people unless it's Skyler so he got us one with only our group. There are pools, activity rooms, spas, party rooms, entertainment rooms for kids-basically everything and more.

"You own more than one shirt?!" Rider gasps when he sees Roman without his regular black T-shirt on.

"You look like a fucking idiot," Roman retorts, talking about Rider's colorful, yellow, palm tree, button-up shirt.

"Jealously is a disease," Rider sassily says.

"Looking at you in that shitty-ass thing may give me a disease," Ivy joins in.

"Why the fuck do you have shells in your ear?"

"Why the fuck don't you have a brain in your head?"

"Both of you look dumb." Roman rolls his eyes.

They start going at it and I decide to let them have their little thing while I go say hi to everyone with Aubrey with me and Dayton with Roman. Autumn runs over to Iris who squeals her name, hugging her tightly.

Skyler suddenly runs up to me, more energetic than her normal self which is saying a lot because she is literally a ball of energy all the time.

"How should I say it?" she panics.

"Hello to you too."

"This is not the time for formalities. I need a plan, Alaiya!"

"All you have to do is tell him the news whenever you think is the best time." I hold her shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"That's too basic. What if he misunderstands what I said?"

"Skyler, how can someone misunderstand the word 'pregnant'?" I have to ask.

"What if he thinks that someone else is pregnant? Or I'm talking about my pet dolphin?"

"You have a pet dolphin?"

"Exactly! If you could doubt it, so could he!"

Wow.

"Okay, I promise everything is going to be fine. If you need to do it in private, you can do that, but if you still want Roman's help, then he'll be here for you too and so will I. Just don't make yourself anxious without knowing what's actually going to happen."

She gasps, putting her hand over her stomach. "Can the baby feel it?"

I laugh. "Most of the time, yeah. Wait until they start kicking. It's so much fun feeling it. Roman used to wait for any moment Autumn, Dayton, or Aubrey would and I'm sure Sanchez will be just as excited."
