Jiselle's POV:

Sara, Lyndsey, and I arrived at Fashion Square Mall safely. The fact that the three of us hadn't been here since college was incredible. It was wonderful to return! Sara had already purchased a few items from the Gucci store, while Lyndsey had Louis Vuitton and Francesca's items. I even ended up getting Liam some Hugo Boss and Nordstrom's items for myself. The three of us had a great shopping day.

We went to the food court to get something to eat. Lyndsey went to Chipotle for a burrito bowl, Sara went to Starbucks for coffee and a sandwich, and I went to Pita Jungle for a salad. Once we got our food, the three of us went to a table off to the side to avoid being bothered by others.

"It feels like yesterday when we were getting Boba together here as college students," Lyndsey remarked.

"I recall all the times we'd pass by Gucci and Sara would always say how much she wanted Gucci," I said with a smile.

"Then there was Jiselle, who would go into Buckle and look around but never buy anything," Sara chuckled.

"Look at her now," Lyndsey added.

I sighed, "Time flies."Sara noted, "But one thing has remained the same, the three of us together."

Lyndsey said, "Aw."

"You're going to make me cry," I said.


As we all proceeded to eat, there was a brief moment of silence. This seemed like the ideal opportunity to share my good news with them.

I began, "I've got something to tell you, girls. I'm pregnant!"

Sara was attempting to maintain her composure as Lyndsey grinned.

I added, "With twins."

Sara nearly spits her coffee out of her mouth after Lyndsey dropped her spoon.


"Are you serious?" Sara inquired as she placed her hand on my arm.

"Yes!" Lyndsey squealed with delight.

"Oh, my goodness! Do you have any idea what you're having?" Sara shook her head.

"Of course she does; it's Jiselle; she has to know so she can plan!" Lyndsey grinned.

"I'm having boys," I confessed, blushing.


"Yes!" Sara said, raising her hands in the air.

"Omg, that's what you wanted, isn't it?" Lyndsey exclaimed.
I nodded my head.
"We're all going to be mothers!" Sara conveyed her delight.


"Do you have the nursery set up already?" Lyndsey inquired once everyone's joy subsided.

"I do," I said with a smile.
Lyndsey admitted, "I should have known."
Sara placed her fingers on her temples and whispered, "I can already see what it looks like."
