"Mom's coming over and watching the boys," Jamie walks in, a couple weeks after she revealed her big news.
"She is? Why is that?"
"Aunt Julia is feeling little down and I told her we'd take her out in the city for drinks. I told her we were having dinner here. She's excited to watch them."
"I'm sure she is."
"We need to tell her babe," sliding her hand on her stomach.
"Everything?"
"I don't want to ruin our night but I'm sure my parents seen the magazines."
"Yeah," he nods.
"Do you not want to say anything?"
"I mean we have to, if we don't your mom will call us out on it."
"I know," Jamie nods.
"We can tell her. I'm sure we will feel better."
"It will be fine," she says, sitting down to eat.The doorbell ringing a few minutes later, her mom walking through the door.
"Hey mom," Reid smiles hugging his mother-in-law. "How are you?"
"I'm good, glad to be watching my favorite grandsons."
"Mom they are your only grandkids."
"Well, thank you for coming to watch them," Reid says.
"Oh my god..." her mom says, "you're pregnant."
Jamie a little surprised. "Yeah I am."
"Wait..how did you know that?" Reid asks.
"I know my daughter," she looks at Reid. "She always has a glow about her when she's pregnant, which seems continuous the last three years."
"Well we're done after this one. Well only if it's a girl. That's our plan anyway."
"I mean keep having them I love my grandkids. How far are you honey?"
"Um I don't know."
"We actually haven't been to a doctor yet."
"Well why don't you go to that nice doctor you had before?"
"Um mom...I'm sure you saw something in the news lately."
"Wait, it was him?"
"I made a mistake," Jamie sighs.
Reid is silent. Then, he walks out of the room.
"Do you know who's it is?"
"It's really been tense around here with that subject. No, I don't."
"Does the other guy know?"
"No."
"Oh," she nods.
"Yeah so that's what's been going on."
"I'm sorry honey."
"Thank you."
"Now you two get out of here, I have grandkids to spoil..."
They get to the bar, Julia already there and sitting down. Both Julia and Reid ordering a beer and Jamie a water, sitting around and talking.
"This drink was sent from the guy at the bar," the waitress says handing Jamie a beer.
"Oh you must mean her," Jamie nods to Julia.
"Strict orders to the beautiful blonde," the waitress smiles walking away.
Reid looks around, looking towards the bar.
"I was expecting you to come kick my ass," they hear a voice say. Reid turns around and sees Jimmie.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Reid smiles hugging him tight then sitting down.
"Surprise babe," Jamie smiles.
"How long are you here for?"
"I'll be here about a week."
"Well hell man, we have a lot of catching up to do in seven days," Reid smirks.
"Dude I have to spend time with my girl too."
Jamie nudges Reid. "You're not the only love anymore."
Reid smiles, "lets get some more beers," he says standing up, the boys heading to the bar.
"How's it going man?"
"It's going. You've seen the news."
"You know I date your wife's best friend, I know everything."
"Yeah," Reid laughs looking over at the TV.
"Dude you know I'm here for you, we can have a guys night and get some aggression out."
"Aggression out? How do you plan on doing that?"
"However you want. Go to the batting cages, play some ball, shooting, boxing, go kick Greg's ass...you name it."
"I'll definitely go for the last one," Reid smirks.
"I'll hold him down for you."
"No, I probably shouldn't do that as much as I want too."
"Just freak him out?" Jimmie smiles, the bartender handing both guys beers. "We better get back to them," he says making their way back and sitting down.
"Sure you just don't want to quit and retire up here?" Jamie smiles, teasing Jimmie.
"I still have a few years before retiring. How are the boys?" Jimmie smiles. "I haven't seen them in a bit."
"You'll have to come over and see them but they are growing like crazy," Jamie smiles.
"I'm sure. How old is Grayson now? 2? Almost 2?"
"Just about there," Jamie nods. "He's learning new words everyday. In fact he says Uncle Jimmie and Aunt Julia need to give him cousins."
"In time, in time," Jimmie smirks.
"Don't you think they'd make cute babies?"
"Oh yeah. You better get on that buddy," Reid winks to Jimmie.
"Don't just be saying that to make a pregnant woman happy."
