After hearing the news, Czes's reaction was not exactly what the to-be parents were expecting.
"Well, it's about time you guys were able to let us know," Czes said as he nonchalantly picked up an apple and tossed it in the air.
"Wait, what?" Firo had sputtered, totally not expecting that kind of reaction.
Ennis remained silent but smiled. Czes glanced at Firo as he caught the apple and gave him a look, a look that said, "Are you stupid?"
He continued with, "Well, you guys have been married for a while now and even had a honeymoon, finally, not too long ago. I mean, everyone's been waiting for the news that you guys are having a baby."
Firo was flabbergasted and could only blush and mutter incoherent words.
Ennis answered for Firo instead. "Hmm…I suppose so. But um… are you happy?"
Czes looked towards her sharply and said, "Oh don't get me wrong. I am excited that there's gonna be another one in the family. I get to have a younger sibling."
Ennis smiled again and this time, Czes walked over and gave her a hug, though he was sort of reluctant. Firo watched them with eyes that showed he felt excluded so with a chuckle, Ennis let him join in the group hug.
After a moment, Czes wriggled out of their arms and questioned, "So, how are you gonna give the news to everyone else?"
The married couple stared at him, then at each other. Their eyes plainly showed that they hadn't planned that out.
Firo scratched his head and said, "Ah…about that…"
Ennis nudged him. "Just tell the news normally, it doesn't have to be a surprise or anything."
At this, Czes muttered, "I don't think it'll be a surprise anyways."
Firo only glared at him.
