Judy's POV

The silence stretched on for what felt like hours, though I knew it had only been seconds. I couldn't tell from their shocked expressions what they could be thinking, but I knew what I was thinking. I glared at Gavin, furious that he would just blurt it out like that. We hadn't even gotten our drinks yet.

I thought maybe we'd warm up into it, small talk first. But nope... he decided to just blurt it out like it meant nothing... just meaningless words.

He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with it because he frowned at me before looking back at Irene and Matt, who were still gawking at us like we just grew a new head each.

"Judy and I are expecting a baby," he said again, glancing between the two of them. "We are counting on the two of you to be grown about this and help out as much as you can."

"Wait, you're serious?" Irene asked, her brows raised so high that they practically disappeared into her hairline. "You're having a baby? Like an actual baby?"

"I'm going to be a big brother?" Matthew asked, his eyes wide as he stared at me in disbelief.

"You're having a baby... together?" Irene asked, glancing between the two of us. These were too wildly different responses, neither of them looked pleased... and yet, they also didn't look displeased either. Just confused, maybe.
