Love Drunk 3.0 (Completed)

Chapter 56

L.A. 5.30 p.m.
Y/n POV –

“Here!” Grayson says as he hands me a drink. “Super sweet! Just the way you like it!” He adds and smiles as he stares at my tummy. “Thanks Gray!” I tell him as I also look down at my dress. Is there a stain? Does he think I look fat? Why is he looking at me like that? But before I can ask him what’s wrong he smiles again and kisses my cheek before he makes his way over to Ava. I elbow Ethan, who is talking to his uncle and he turns around to face me. “Babe, is there something on my dress?” I ask him. Ethan takes a step back and looks at me. “No, I don’t think so.” He says as he steps in again and kisses my forehead. “You look stunning!” He breathes.

“You don’t think I look fat?” I continue and Ethan’s face turns into one of shock. “What?! No! You look beautiful.” He says. “What’s going on, baby? Is there something wrong?” He worryingly asks me now. “I don’t know.” I admit. “Grayson was looking at me and my dress with this weird expression on his face.” I say as I trace my hand over the dress. Ethan immediately looks up and searches the crowd for Grayson. “They have been acting so weird..” He breathes while still trying to look for his brother. “Something is going on.” He says as he locks eyes with me again. Ethan brushes my cheek with his hand and I completely relax under his touch. I lean in against his hand and I see it calms him down as well. “What is going on?” I ask him as I put my free arm around his waist and pull him close to me.

“I’m not sure..” Ethan answers my question. “But Ava has been extremely emotional all afternoon and Grayson has been acting so sus.” He adds as I take a sip of my drink. “Eeww.. What is this?” I now say as I hold the cocktail at eye level. “This is not a cocktail.” I add as I stick out my tongue to let the sweet syrupy taste evaporate. Ethan places his lips around the straw and sips. “Shirley Temple.” He says chuckling. “Mocktail!” He laughs. “Why would Gray give me a mocktail?!” I breathe as I furrow my brows and look in the crowd for Grayson. “Because he isn’t 21 yet?” Ethan laughs again. Well, that is a great explanation actually until I see Ava. She as well is sipping on the same sweet mocktail. “Something is off..” I tell Ethan as I point at Ava and Grayson on the other side of the venue.

“Ava is allowed to drink alcohol. Why is she sipping on that sugary drink?” I ask him. “She doesn’t even like sugary drinks.” I breathe. My mind starts putting all these puzzle pieces together and all of a sudden it hits me. I forcefully grab Ethan’s arm. “Oh my god!” I breathe. “Ava is pregnant!” I whisper in Ethan’s direction. His eyes shoot open and he looks at me with this blank stare. “What?! No?!” He breathes back at me, completely stunned. “Just look at the facts, babe!” I say like a seasoned and skilled detective. “She has been emotional all day!” I add as I use my fingers to sum up all these facts. “She doesn’t drink alcohol all of a sudden! Ava and no alcohol? That doesn’t add up, right?” I laugh. “And your brother acting all weird and nervous all day.” I continue.

Ethan locks eyes with me again and I can tell it suddenly hits him as well. “Oh shit!” He whispers. “Gray wanted to tell me something before the ceremony. But Ava stopped him!” Ethan goes on. I nod my head heavily. “Ofcourse!!! He wanted to tell you that he’s gonna be a dad!” I squeal. “Holy shit!” Ethan breathes. “We’re gonna be an aunt and uncle!” He smiles wide as he lifts me up and twirls me around. I bury my face in his neck and both of us burst with this incredible amount of happiness. “They probably didn’t wanna make this day about them.” Ethan says worryingly as he gently puts me down. “That’s not right, babe!” I tell him as I raise my brows.

“This day is not just about us, but about everyone that loves each other. They shouldn’t have to keep such a big and important announcement to themselves if they want to share it, because it is our wedding day.” I say disappointed. Ethan cups my face with both his hands and kisses my lips slowly. For a brief moment I forget who I am and where I am. His touch makes me float, our energies intertwine and it ignites this fire in my chest. I descend as he pulls away from my lips. “I’ve got an idea.” Ethan smiles against my lips. “We’re gonna poke the shit out of them.” He laughs.

“Let’s take them away for a moment, away from the crowd and ask them about their behaviour. If they want to tell us, they will.” Ethan adds. “But first. You go dance with Grayson and cross examine him. I will do the same with Ava.” He continues and a roaring laugh leaves his lips. I can’t help but laugh at his amazing idea! Nothing beats winding those two love birds up! “I love you Ethan Dolan!” I say as I kiss his lips once again. “I love you too y/n Dolan!” He smiles as he pulls away from my lips. “Let’s get this show on the road!”
