Instead of jumping for joy or anything like that, they just sat there and stared at us. My mom was smiling, but still silent. My dad, however, was glaring at Lucas with a murderous look. I looked over at Lucas and he was staring Tom down. Maybe starting with the hardest people first wasn't such a good idea after all.
"Kylie I'm so happy for you!" My mom had a big smile on her face as she stood up and pulled me in for a hug. She took my left hand to see my ring.
"Oh my!" she said looking over at Lucas. "You picked out a very nice ring Lucas." She told him and pulled him in for a hug as well. She now stood next to us and we all looked at my dad waiting for his response. He was still sitting on the couch in silence and I wasn't sure if it was good or bad but I was going with the later.
"I don't know what to say," he started to say. "On one hand I'm so happy for you guys and on the other, she's my little girl and I want to hurt you right now but I think we all remember how that went last time. I think I speak for your mom and me when I say this is wonderful news, but we have some news to share with you as well."
"What is it?" I asked him with a smile on my face.
My mom scoffed at him and said, "Oh Tom, really? Why did you think now was the right time?"
"When was a better time? We are shocked at some news why can't they be as well?" he asked her.
"Well you've started you might as well finish telling them for me!"
"Your mom and I, well we are expecting!"
I looked at Lucas and he was just as confused as I was, "Expecting what?" he asked for me.
"We are expecting a baby," my mom told us.
A baby! What? How is this even possible at their age? I didn't even know that that was possible! This can't be happening I'm eighteen years old for Christ's sake! They are divorced how did this even happen? Wait, no never mind I don't want to know!
"Congrats guys," I said giving them both hugs. Lucas did the same. "Well we had better get going it's a long drive to Shadow Falls to tell everyone else. Bye!"
We left as quickly as possible at that point. "I can't even process right now," I told him as we pulled out of the driveway. "What just happened back there?" he asked.
I shake my head, "Honestly I have no idea. I didn't see this coming. They have been in the middle of a divorce for the last year how did this happen?"
"Well remember this morning? They probably did something along the lines of what we did."
I slap his arm. Ever since he has gotten on to the council and has been accepting even more Alpha responsibilities he has come out of his shell so to speak. He is more open about us being together in public and public displays of affection. He is, in a way, more childlike. If his last comment isn't proof enough, then I don't know what is.
"You are unbelievable sometimes you know that?"
"I try," he smirked and turned his head back to face the road.
The rest of the way we were silent and he held my hand over the center counsel. The road was empty most of the way. That wasn't unusual though; the camp was in more of a rural area of Texas. As we pulled up to the front gate I was reminded of the time Lucas and I were on the ground and interrupted by his phone going off. A smile started to form on my face from the thought. He looked at me with a knowing smirk and turned back to driving. We parked in front of Holiday's office and got out. Holding hands the whole way he kissed my forehead and knocked on her door.
"One second!" She yelled. Moments later she opened the door for us. Her hair was messed up along with her clothes and a disgruntled and equally disheveled Burnett stood behind her. A huge smile spread across her face as Holiday realized who we were.
"Kylie!" She screamed, pulling me in for a hug doing the same with Lucas while yelling his name. Burnett was now smiling at us as well.
"Come in, come in!" She ushered towards her office. "Can I get you guys anything? Coffee? Tea? Anything at all?"
"No, no we're fine thanks," Lucas smiled and replied to her questions. She hugged us again and had us all sit down.
"So, we have some news," I started with.
"What a coincidence, so do we!" Holiday exclaimed. "You go first!"
"We're engaged!" Lucas and I said together, holding hands and smiling at them. Holiday screamed and hugged us again and Burnett didn't scream but he congratulated us, giving me a hug and exchanging a handshake with Lucas.
"When did this happen?" She asked.
"Well it technically happened a while ago but we started telling everyone today. Besides her parents, you guys are the first to know." Lucas said. He smiled at me and kissed my hand.
"Oh, you guys are so cute!" Holiday said.
"So what's your guys' news?" I asked.
"Well, um, we're pregnant," Burnett said nervously. We congratulated them the same as they did for us. It was a great afternoon after that was done with. We spent the next three hours catching up with each other. Lucas and Burnnet talked about what was going on with the FRU and the pack while Holiday and I talked baby shower and wedding plans in between just filling each other in on what the other had missed.
After all that was said and done, Lucas and I decided to go tell Miranda, Perry, and Della. I called Della on the way to her house, telling her to get ready and that we would be going to Miranda's. Then I called Miranda to tell her we were on our way over with some big news.
I went up to the door to get Della once we were there. I knocked on the door, "Come in, it's open!" She shouted. I opened the door to her quaint and charming home. It was a good size for one person. She stepped out from her room, running a brush through her hair.
"Hey Kylie, just give me like two more minutes." I headed back out to the car to wait for her. She came out and got into the car. Lucas greeted Della and we headed to Miranda's house. The drive was about a half an hour from Della's. Miranda and Perry lived in a cottage so she could practice magic and Perry could change whenever they wanted without having to worry about neighbors seeing them and finding out about our world.
The cottage was amazing. It was stone with vines climbing up the sides. There was a big red door and red shutters on the sides of each window. The driveway was gravel and she had the most stunning garden growing in front of the house which held her herbs and the most beautiful flowers I had ever laid my eyes on. Their cottage was almost in a world of its own. It really felt like it had magic. It was one of the reasons why I loved coming here.
Miranda opened the front door as we were getting out of the car and came over and hugged us all. She led us into the house where Perry was coming down the stairs trying to fix his hair. He came up behind her and grabbed her waist and we followed them into the living room to sit.
"How are you guys? I haven't seen you in forever it feels like," she declared. Perry smiled at her and grabbed her hand, pulling her to him. Holiday was wrong these two are cuter. We spent some time catching up with everyone and joking with each other. Perry suggested that we order something for dinner since it was getting late and we unanimously voted for pizza. While we were waiting for the pizza Miranda looked at my hand and screamed.
"What is that? Why didn't you tell me? How dare you keep this from me, Kylie Galen!" She yelled.
"What are you talking-Oh my God Kylie I've been with you guys for how long and I didn't notice I'm sorry. And yeah everything Miranda just said! Why didn't you tell us?" Della exclaimed.
"I was just getting ready to tell you actually. It's an engagement ring, don't forget that I love you guys and I'm sorry we just started telling people today I swear," I told them hoping they wouldn't be too mad when I added, "but he asked me a while ago."
