Chapter: 1987
After dinner, Kyson dragged Brendan and Lyndon to the basketball court to work off the meal.
Meanwhile, Gail and Noemi were deep in conversation with Rosalynn about pregnancy.
Soon after, Brian arrived home.
He greeted them.
Gail looked up at him and said, "You haven't eaten yet, right? We've kept dinner ready for you in the kitchen."
"No hurry," Brian replied casually.
He sat next to Rosalynn, looking her over, then asked with concern, “What's going on?"
Kyson's phone call had left him anxious all along, worrying something might have happened to his wife.
But she seemed just fine.
Rosalynn glanced at her belly and announced, “Teddy's going to be a mom.
Brian was at a loss for words.
"That's all? The big thing he mentioned?" Brian was rendered speechless.
Rosalynn's eyebrows shot up. "Teddy's pregnant. That's not big news?"
Brian, feeling slightly puzzled, still nodded.
"Yeah, it's big news."
He thought about the future competition for affection from other puppies.
“You don't seem too thrilled." Rosalynn eyed him suspiciously.
“Should I clap to show I'm happy?"
Brian clapped twice, seriously.
Gail laughed and interjected, “Rosalyn, stop teasing him. Just tell him the good news."
