    “What? What?” I asked excitedly.
    “I’m pregnant!” She said, with more excitement than I ever thought possible.
    “Shut the fuck up!” I yelled. “No way!”
    “Yes! Oh my God, can you believe it?”
    “Are you ok? Did you go to the doctor? How did you find out?” I had a million questions, she better get to talking.
    “Ok, so I’ve been feeling kinda crappy. I was throwing up the morning of the wedding but I figured it was just nerves. Then I got sick again on the plane. Jase is actually the one who suspected it first. I was so preoccupied with wedding stuff, that I didn’t even realize I missed my period.”
    “Holy Shit,” I mumbled.
    “So Jase went on a hunt to find a pregnancy test once we got settled here. It took a while, but he did. And it was positive!” She squealed.
    “Did you go to the doctor?” I asked.
    “Yeah,” Lainey giggled. “Jase was determined to make sure everything was ok, so he made me go to the emergency room. I tried to convince him that we could wait until we got home but he wasn’t having it.”
    “I’m so excited! You’re gonna be a momma!” I said.
    “I know! I’m kinda scared to death, but so happy at the same time,” she said.
    “How’s Jase?” I asked.
    “Girl!” She giggled. “He hasn’t stopped smiling. It’s the cutest thing ever. He’s so excited.”
    “I’m so happy for y’all!” I couldn’t wait to call Moon and tell him.
    “Thank you!  Of course, Jase is already freaking out about going back to work and leaving me, but I’m trying to convince him that I’ll be ok. I have you to take care of me.” She laughed.
    “Hell yeah you do!” I said.
    “Ok, I better get off here. These international charges are ridiculous. But I’ll see you Sunday, ok? Love you Sam!”
    “Love you too, momma!” I said with a giggle.
    “Holy shit.” Lainey said.
    “Y’all be careful.”
    “Ok, bye.”
    “Bye,” I said, and ended the call. Lainey was going to be a mom. This was crazy. But she was going to be amazing. I immediately scrolled my contacts and called Moon.

    I was out in the back barn checking on the mash. I hardly even drank this shit anymore, but I always took it to some of the guys from work. The process of it just relaxed me, I’m not sure why though. I was also grabbing a jug of shine out of the freezer for the bonfire tonight. I would rather spend the night alone with Sam, but people expected these parties from me. And I didn’t want everyone to know that woman was turning me into a pussy. So I agreed when Junior asked if I was up for it. I’d known him since high school and he was a decent guy. He had a new girlfriend he wanted to show off so I figured I might as well.  I made sure Sam would be there though. I wanted her with me, even if I had to deal with a bunch of drunk fuckers at the same time.
    Jase and Lainey were still on their honeymoon and wouldn’t be back until Sunday, and I know Sam was disappointed her best friend wouldn’t be there. But we both knew they would be skipping these parties from now on. I couldn’t believe ol’ Jase was going to be a dad. He changed a lot once he met Lainey. He was so quiet and serious all the time before her. Now that fucker always had a grin on his face. I knew he was whipped the first night he met her, when he came knocking on my door at two in the morning asking questions about her. And now they were having a baby. Their relationship went lightning fast; they were married in six months. I’d been in love with Sam for six years and I can’t even get her to stay the night with me. But I wasn’t going to let it fuck with my head too bad. We were making progress. I knew that for sure. And I was thankful for those baby steps. Pretty soon I was going to force myself to nut up enough to tell her how much I loved her. I’d probably have to tie her up to keep her from running for the hills. Fuck, I couldn’t dwell on the vision of Sam bound beneath me.
