Griffin grinned when he spotted Anna, and I knew from the look on his face…he hadn’t realized she was pregnant yet. Fucking idiot. It couldn’t be more obvious. Maybe he just hadn’t looked at her body yet. Kiera let Anna go as Griffin stepped up to her. Anna started shaking, but she didn’t leave.

I’d never seen Griffin be so completely clueless. Instead of saying anything, instead of asking her anything, he just grabbed her face and started kissing her. Anna moaned a little, and I took the moment of distraction to glance at Evan and Matt, slightly in front of me. Both of them had wide eyes as they stared at Anna’s stomach. They knew. But of course, once again, it was exceedingly obvious.

Kiera waved a greeting to them when their stares turned to her, then she rolled her eyes and nodded, answering their unasked questions: Yes, Anna is pregnant…yes, Griffin is about to be a dad. I’d never seen my friends look so stunned. Their mouths popped open in utter disbelief. I knew the feeling. It still shocked me.

Griffin finally noticed something was different about Anna when he hugged her. But even then…he didn’t seem to understand. His brows furrowed in confusion. “Uh, Anna?” He took a step back and poked her in the stomach. “What happened to you?” I wanted to roll my eyes. Jesus, Griffin. Really?

Anna seemed to feel the same way. She batted his hand away and scowled at him. “You happened to me…ass hat.”

He still seemed confused. Matt smacked Griffin over the head, annoyance clear on his face. “Dude, I told you to wrap it up! Don’t you ever listen to me?” he snapped.

Griffin twisted to sneer at him. “What the fuck are you talking about?”

Oh my fucking God, how did he still not get it? I was about to say something, but Kiera’s dad beat me to it. Stepping up to Griffin, he poked him in the shoulder. Griffin’s scowl turned his way, and Martin calmly but firmly told him, “You will watch your language around my daughter, especially when she’s carrying your child.”

He pointedly raised an eyebrow at Griffin. Griffin still looked like he didn’t understand, but then, finally, the pieces clicked together. And when they did, he looked absolutely horrified. His eyes snapped to Anna’s stomach. “You’re pregnant?” By the way he’d said it, you’d think she had a bomb strapped to her. I contained a sigh. I knew he’d react this way. So had Anna…it was why she hadn’t told him.

Anna merely smirked at his comment though. Rolling her eyes, she said, “God, I hope our daughter somehow gets Kiera’s smarts…otherwise she’s doomed.”
