"I do sweetheart," Keith chuckled. "Very much actually, and it's not our first date, but since we're sharing, I thought I'd go ahead and tell you."
"That's good Keith, I'm happy for you," Adirenne told him as Lauren became at a loss for words. "Anyone else??" she chuckled.
"I'm moving to Spain," Silas blurted out, making Kingston's head turn the fastest of everyone. "In two months, I'll be gone, and it's for my business so I'm excited," he smiled.
Lauren had already known, which meant Sade knew as well. And she'd told Hunter, who told Tina, and Sade had told Aria, who told Dylan. The only one in the group who wasn't aware, however, was Kingston. And he was probably the saddest of them all to hear the news...
After Silas' announcement, casual conversation had picked up again as their food was finally served. It was when a slight moment of silence had fallen, and right as Dyaln took a sip of his drink, that Aria decided to share her news as well.
"I'm pregnant..."
Dylan nearly choked on his drink as everyone at the table quickly turned their heads to the two of them.
"You're what?!" They collectively exclaimed.

"You nervous?" Hunter asked Lauren. She was getting the finishing touches of her makeup and hair done, while Hunter and everyone else were dressed and ready to go.
Exhaling an anxious breath, she stared upon her reflection in the mirror.
"I think it's because Sade's not here... Usually she's right here with me, and is there to hold my hand when I'm getting anxious or nervous..."
"Hey, she's probably in the same boat as you, if you think about it." Hunter's comment made Lauren smile and shake her head. "You know how she gets," she chuckled.
"Yeah I do," Lauren laughed softly. "But she has Aria and I have you, so we'll be fine."
Sighing through a soft grin, Hunter held out her hand for her best friend to hold. Just as Lauren was done with makeup and hair, Hunter pulled her hand to stand her up. With the exchange of a knowing look of reassurance, Lauren took a deep breath, then nodded.
The last thing to do now was put on her dress. And in just ten to fifteen minutes, she'd be walking down the aisle...
Meanwhile, Sade was stepping into her dress after just finishing her makeup and hair as well. Her hands were in Aria's and she put in one foot after the other, then she let one go as her mother slid the dress up her body.
Aria smiled while adjusting a single strand of hair on Sade's head that was out of place,
"You look beautiful boob..." she whispered as faint tears brimmed her eyes.
