Meanwhile, Liam nudged Somi's side, making her quickly realize something and hurry to retrieve a small, flat box from the collection of gifts. Chaeyoung ushered Presley to go sit back down, and watched as Somi set the box in front of her with a soft smile.

"This is from us," she nodded back to Liam. Presley nodded, quickly tearing into the paper. Everyone watched as she pulled out a pink t-shirt with something written on the front. Confused, the smaller girl held it up and tilted her head to the side.

"What's it say, mama?" Presley asked, turning to Lisa who sat beside her. The Thai girl scooted closer, narrowing her eyes to read it and gasping.

"No," Lisa's jaw dropped and she immediately turned to look at Somi, whose face grew bright red.

"What?" Jisoo and Jennie immediately grew confused, leaning over the table to try and read it. Chaeyoung hurried over to see what all the commotion was about.

"Best Aunt Ever," Chaeyoung read off the decorative lettering on the shirt, furrowing her eyebrows in confusion. A few moments later, everyone at the table was gasping and whipping their heads around to look at Somi.

"What's wrong?" Presley asked, still not understanding. Giggling, Lisa knelt down and whispered something in her ear.

"You're gonna have a baby?!" Presley practically leapt out of her chair, scrambling over to Somi and looking at her in shock. "You have to sit down! And.... and... wait here!"

While Presley disappeared out of the room, everyone else looked at Somi and Liam in shock.

"You're serious?" Jennie asked, being the first one to break the silence. The moment Somi nodded, they were all smothering her in a large group hug.

"I'm so happy for you, oh my god," Chaeyoung laughed. "Do you-?"

"Be careful!" Presley's voice echoed around the room. "You're gonna hurt her!"

The moment everyone let go of Somi, Presley hurried over and took her hand, leading her over to a chair and making her sit down. "You've gotta drink lots of water," she nodded, handing Somi the water bottle she retrieved.

Chaeyoung and Lisa exchanged glances, enamored by Presley's concern for the older girl.

After things settled down and Somi explained how they had just found out, Chaeyoung and Lisa glanced at one another knowingly. Lisa smiled softly at her wife, nudging her side to signal for her to speak up.

"There's one more present," Chaeyoung added softly, drawing everyone's attention once more. Surprised, Presley looked up and tilted her head to the side in curiosity.

"Just... wait here," Chaeyoung pointed to Presley before slipping out of the room. In the meantime, everyone else turned to look at Lisa. Jisoo raised an eyebrow at her Thai friend.

"Shh," Lisa shook her head, refusing to give her friends any answers. A minute or so later, Chaeyoung reappeared, carrying a large box wrapped in blue and yellow polka dotted wrapping paper. She carried it carefully, gently setting it down on the table in front of Presley.

"Slow, okay? Open it here," Chaeyoung explained, tapping the lid. Curious, Presley nodded, standing up in her chair and looking at Chaeyoung for approval before carefully lifting the lid from the top of the box.

"What?" Presley whispered, her jaw dropping open as she pushed the lid aside. Chaeyoung and Lisa both exchanged amused looks. "Is it real?" the smaller girl looked at Chaeyoung with wide eyes.

"Of course it is," Chaeyoung giggled, nodding towards the box. "Go on, Pres."

A wide smile formed on Presley's face as she carefully reached down into the box. A collective gasp echoed around the room when she gently lifted a small, brown and white colored kitten into her arms. Complete with a bright red bow around its neck.
