Kie's POV:

JJ and I went to Yucatan for our honeymoon. He surprised me with it and we both had the best time. We hung out on the beach, went snorkeling, surfed, and even went to a sea turtle habitat. We were supposed to go scuba diving but had to cancel as I was pregnant. It was the best honeymoon and I was officially showing. I kept catching JJ admiring my stomach and I'd tease him about it every time. His response was, "I put the baby in there, I can look all I want"

He was adorable and he was even reading all those dumb parenting books, which was kinda cute. We were in the process of brainstorming names. I was about two months along and we were getting ready to tell the pogues.

I was going to tell Sarah first. We were hanging out and I handed her a shirt. She looked at it and it read: best auntie ever

"Holy shit, finally!!"  She said crying as she hugged me and we cried together

 "So tell me everything, how far are you?"

"Just a little over two months"

Sarah asked a bunch of questions and I showed her a picture of the ultrasound. She was so excited for us. She asked who else knew and I told her just my parents and that JJ was telling John B and Pope today.

We then met up with Cleo and told her the news. She was surprised and also super excited. She said that being with Pope, she didn't think they'd have kids until after he graduated medical school.

JJ's POV:

I was hanging out with John B and Pope, just like old times. We were at the Chateau talking about stupid shit when I said, "So, Kie's pregnant"

They both looked at me and their eyes widened. 

"How did that happen?" Pope asked 

"You know how it happened" I said 

"Dude, you're gonna be a dad" John B smiled giving me a guy hug

"Yeah, I'm excited but terrified at the same time"

"If I were you, I might skip town" Pope said

"Why?"

"If I got a girl pregnant when I was only a teenager..." Pope said and I could tell he was spiraling

"Pope, I'm a married man... We've been trying" 

I told them the story and Pope was happy for us, he was just a little overwhelmed because he wouldn't have kids this young or get married without following a ten-year plan or something. John B was so excited to be an uncle. 

We met up with the girls at the Wreck for dinner. I walked over to Kie and gave her a quick kiss. We all sat down at the table and ordered food. As we sat there, everyone was talking about the baby. Sarah was making plans to throw a baby shower. I couldn't help but smile at how supportive our friends were. Our baby was going to have amazing aunts and uncles and grandparents, well Mike and Anna. 

Kie and I were back home laying in bed when she asked, "So, now that our friends know... Do you wanna tell your dad?"

"He can't keep his mouth shut..." I said sharply

"We don't ever have to tell him if you don't want... But eventually when I'm really fat and then when the baby is born, he's going to know"

"I know, I just don't ever want him to know his grandkid. He was a shitty father and I won't put my own kids through the hell that I went through"

Kie hugged me and said, "Our baby will never be alone with your dad. I would never allow that, I'm sorry you had such a shitty childhood with him"

"You make it all better, I love you"

"I love you too"

We talked about it and we decided that we were going to tell my dad in a few days. When that day came, we drove to the shitty house that I grew up in. We knocked on the door and my dad yelled, "Go away, I don't wanna buy any shit"

"It's us, dad" I called out

"JJ, Kiara, come in" He replied as we went inside

He wasn't drunk yet, that was a good thing. It's why we wanted to come over here earlier in the morning. 

"How you guys been? How was Yucatan?"

"It was amazing..."

"Yeah, my favorite place in the world.. I brought your momma there when we first started dating"

I swallowed hard at the thought of him talking about my mom. I looked at him and said, "We're here to tell you that we're going to have a baby, Kiara's pregnant"

Kie grabbed my hand as we both anxiously waited for his reaction. He smiled and then said, "Hell yeah, the Maybank name lives on"

My dad hugged Kiara which neither of us were expecting but after that, he hugged me. He seemed super happy. 

"I gotta get something" He said leaving the living room and heading towards his room

I looked at Kie and she whispered, "He seems really excited"

"Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen him so happy"

When my dad returned, he was holding a stuffed animal. He said, "This used to be yours, son, you should give it to your kid"

Kie grabbed the stuffed animal and smiled and said, "We will, thank you"

"I didn't know you still had that... I thought you tossed it out" I said remembering coming home from school as a child and my dad telling me that I was too old for shit like that (I was five)

"Course I kept it, you loved that little thing"

I smiled at the stuffed animal that Kie was holding. My dad actually saved something from my childhood. We went home and put the stuffed animal in the baby's room. A few days had passed by and we had another appointment and the baby was growing and healthy. It was time to announce the pregnancy on social media. 

Sarah was going to take some pictures of Kie. She had a bunch of cute outfits, but my favorite was the white beachy dress and a pair of flowy white beach pants with a black bikini top. I got in a lot of the pictures too and we picked our favorite. We went to social media and posted the picture with the caption: Baby Maybank coming soon

Our friends were blowing up the comments and so were people we really didn't know that well. Everyone was super excited for us. Holy shit, this is starting to feel real.
