| Diana's POV |

Cameron pulled onto Nash and Claire's driveway. My mom and dad's car were parked too beside Cameron's parents car, and Claire's parents too.I unbuckle my seatbelt, grabbing my Michael Kors beige bag. I pull out my phone, and we all get out.

The wind was strong, blowing my hair back as I walk. I was dressed in a black Viscose peplum dress with black rosegold pumps. And a pearl earing and diamond necklace that Cameron bought for me on our anniversary . I ring the doorbell and seconds later the door swings open.

"Diana!!" Claire says with excitement, she leans in for a hug and I galdy return it. She hugs Cameron, Stephanie and Lance. And we all walk in the house.

Cameron walks inside the kitchen to put the food away.

"Mom. Dad." I say walking into the family room up to my parents and hugging them. They were interacting with Cameron's Parents aswell. I lean in for a hug. Followed my Claire's parents.

I look around, looking for Nash and I spot him by the fireplace.

"Am I going to get a hug from my brother?"

He turns around and he smiles from ear to ear.

"Hey sis, ahh I've missed you." He says hugging me.

"Really? All you had to do was make one phone call atleast once a week Nash." I roll my eyes. And he does the same.

All of us socialize, until I don't see Cameron in the room, I walk into the kitchen seeing him talking to someone. A person I don't recognize..

• Cameron's POV •

I walk into the kitchen, placing the food on the counter. A lady was in the kitchen as well, and was on her phone.

"Hello, I don't think we've met, I'm Cameron. Nash and Claire's in-law." I say. Her head shots up and she looked beautiful. Her blue grey eyes locks in with mine. And we just stared at each other.

What am I doing Cameron?!

"I'm Kirsten, friend and coworker with Claire."

I nod and we chat a bit. My eyes glanced at her legs they we long, not that long or short. They were perfect. She was in a blue strap backless flouncing dress. Her hair was straight and layed back.

She caught me admiring her body and looked at me weird.

I'm such a fucking idiot. I'm a married man for the love of God.

A familar voice walks in and wraps its arms around me

"Ahh there you are, I was wondering where you were." She says to me still wrapping her arms around my waist. And I wrap my arms around her, kissing her forehead..

"Oh hi, I believe we haven't met before, I'm Diana, Nash's Sister." They Both shake each others hand.

"I'm Kirsten, I'm a friend of Claire's and we work together." She smiles at Diana and her eyes drop down to D's ring finger. And her eyes got widen a bit.

"Well, I'm going to say hi to the rest of the family." I say kissing Diana's lips softly and from the corner of my eye I felt Kirsten watching us.

I leave the kitchen, leaving the two ladies by themselves.

• Diana's POV •

After aCam leaves, I start arranging the food on the table.

"So how long have you and Cameron been married ?" Kirsten asks helping me out.

"Almost 5 years." I say smiling at her.

"Wow, I know I don't know him that well considering I just met him but he's a nice guy and he's lucky to have you."

"Thank you Kirsten."

Is it just me or this conversation is awkward.

~ After dinner ~

After dinner we all walk back into the leaving room. Stephanie, Mackenzie and Baeya, Nash and Claire's twin daughters all went upstairs while Lance was with Josh Nash and Claire's son playing video games in the game room. My mom and dad were together, Cameron's parents were together. Nash and Claire beside each other. So were Claire's parents too.And I walked over to Cameron, leaving Kirstsn by herself and he wraps his arms around me.

I glance over and Nash and Claire whispering about something, mostly everyone in the room noticed Their back and forth sort of mini convo thing. And they both smiling they both turn to look at us all.

"Men, I'm the kitchen. Follow me." Nash says and we all look confuse.

"Woman in here with me." Says Claire and we were all still looking confused. We watched us the men left room to the kitchen.

"Whats going on, why did they leave?" I ask looking confused just like everyone in here.

"Nash and I.. wanted to all tell you together, but figured why not split ourselves and see how things go" Claire says and she still hadn't answered my question.

"I'm pregnant."

All of our jaws drop.

All of us screamed out 'what!!' At the same time the guys screamed what too.

"Oh my god, Claire I'm soo happy for you!" I get up walking over to her, hugging her tight. Followed by my mom, Cam's mom and Kirtsten.

Claire's mom was still sitting down, like they way she was beforw a minute away.

"Mom?" She says sitting beside her.

"Another child Claire? You were barely even able to take care of Josh."

......

Silence filled the room, the men walk in the room all smiling.

"Excuse me? Mom, how can you say such a thing. You just crossed the line saying something like that. Barely able to take care of Josh? He is not your son ,he is my son. And i really appreciate you being happy for me and Nash." Claire snaps and she stands up causing the room to be filled with tension. "You know, this sort of reminds me of the time Nash and I told you about the twins, your same old attitude. It's pathetic mom-"

"Claire... " Nash and Claires Dad interupt her at the same time.

"No, let me finish."

"Don't you ever talk to me like that again, I am your mother."

"Then act like one! All you do is critize me on how to do this, where to put that, blah blah blah. I'm sick of it. If you really want to be part of this baby's life you can start off by changing your attitude and stop comparing me and my kid to Jessica and her kids."

She leaves the room quietly and leaves the house.

I glance over at Nash who's head is down. Cam has his hand on Nash's shoulder.

Nash head shots up and he catches me looking at him. I mouth 'go after her'. He nods and fakes a smile, walking out of the house to go look for Claire.

This wasn't exactly how I imagined this dinner night to go.
