Chapter Eight: Adding to the Family

This family dinner would be a perfect time to tell everyone about the baby, Lulu thought. But seeing everyone that was here, made her give her idea a second thought.

She loved coming to Sonny and Olivia's for dinner and she knew Dante loved spending the time with his mom and dad.

It had been weird at first with Dante and Sonny, but now they were close, closer than Lulu ever thought was possible.

"Hey." Carly said walking over to her, bouncing Jocelyn on her hip.

"Hey." Lulu smiled. "I see you managed to drag Jax's here."

"It took some work." Carly laughed. "So, I was wondering, when are you going to tell people?"

Lulu put her finger over her lip. "Keep your voice down, we're telling everyone tonight."

Carly smiled. "Thank God, this secret is eating me alive!"

Lulu laughed. "I'm sorry it's been so difficult on you."

"Aunt Carly doesn't mind." She smiled again.

"What are you two smiling about?" Olivia asked walking over to them.

"You'll find out." Carly said as Lulu gave her a death glare.

"Fine, then you don't get to know my secret." Olivia smiled.

"What secret?" Carly asked. "Do I already know?"

Olivia shook her head. "Nope, you'll find out soon though."

"Very funny." Carly said. "Really, what's the secret?"

"I'm not telling, Carly."


"Hi." Dante said kissing Lulu on the cheek.

"Hi." She smiled back. "Your parents have a secret."

"What secret?" He looked confused.

"I don't know, your mom wouldn't tell me or Carly."

"Is it a bad secret." He was panicking. "Like one of them is sick."

"No, no I don't think so." Lulu assured him. "It sounded like a happy secret."

"Like ours." He smiled placing his hand on her stomach.

"I don't think your mom's pregnant." She smiled kissing him on the cheek. "But, yes ours is a happy secret."

"Yeah, that would be pretty weird." He laughed.

"Like Father of the Bride 2."

"Like what?" He asked.

"You've never seen Father of the Bride?" Lulu laughed.

"No, is it a chick flick?"

"No!" She laughed. "It's about... well we're going to rent it."

He nodded with a smile. "Okay."

"I'm kind of nervous to tell everyone." She confessed.

"Yeah, me too." He took her hand.

Lulu smiled. "We have to though, if we don't, Carly will."

Dante laughed. "Yeah, if she hasn't already."

"Surprisingly, I think the only person she's told is Jax."

"I'm impressed." Dante smiled hearing his mom say dinner was ready.

"Let's go." She said.

"Happy secret." He told her before they walked into the dining room.


There were a lot of people at Sonny and Olivia's, a lot more people then Lulu expected. Her family, Dante's family, Jason and Sam, Carly and Jax, even Kate was there.

It made Lulu wonder if the reason so many people were here was because of Olivia's secret?

When everyone was done eating, Dante thought it would be the perfect time to tell everyone. He started to say something, but Sonny beat him to it.

"Me and Olivia have something, we would like everyone to know." Sonny smiled.

Lulu looked at Dante with a confused look.

"I'm pregnant." Olivia smiled.

"Wait, I thought you said Lulu, was the one who was pregnant?" Micheal asked Carly, loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

Carly quickly put her finger over her lip, but it was too late.

"You told Micheal!" Lulu looked at her.

"No!" Carly yelled. "I told Jax and Micheal was eavesdropping!"

"Really?" Lulu asked not convinced.

"Really, I swear. I only told Jax you were pregnant!" Carly said.

Dante shook his head with a smile. "Surprise."

Lulu looked at him with a half smile. "We're definitely going to rent Father of the Bride 2."
