Mya

"I can't believe he agreed!"

Callie nodded. "Me too. I just hope that shows you that he really cares."

"I know he does."

"Derek knows plenty of people in the area with beautiful venues that provide that. I could have him get in touch with some if you'd like."

"Really?"

"Sure. As long as you make me your maid of honor."

"Of course, I will! You're like my sister now, Callie."

"Good, that's what I like to hear."

"I'd have to ask Mav, but I personally would love to take a look at some of the venues."

Callie smiled. "Great. I'll tell Derek later to see if they have any availabilities."

"Callie, can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"Do you umm... do you think Mav would ever want to be a dad?"

"I mean... he's already going to be a father in a few months."

"I want him to be the father of my child."

"Have you told him?"

"No, I don't know how to ask him."

Callie shrugged. "I don't know, Mya. He's already stressed out with Lexie, and I don't think this is the right time to ask him."

"There's only one way to find out."

I called Maverick shortly after and he answered. "Hey, can we talk?"

"Sure, is something wrong?"

"No, can you come to Callie's?"

"Sure, be there soon."

"God, I am so nervous."

Callie frowned. "I would be too."

A few minutes later, I heard the door open, and Maverick smiled. "Hey."

"Hi."

"What did you want to talk about?"

"I've been talking to Callie about something."

"What would that be?"

"I want kids. How do you feel about that?"

"Umm..." He looked at Callie before looking at me. "I can't, Mya."

"You're going to be my husband in a few months, I don't want to wait."

"My son will be here in a few short months, and I am already trying to figure that out with Lexie."

"Maverick, please..."

"I can't think about that any time soon, Mya. I guess just focus on planning the wedding with Callie."

"You guess?"

"Yeah, but I'm going to head out."

"Where are you going?"

Without responding, he left Callie's and pulled out of the driveway.

"What is his problem?"

"You need to understand that he's having a hard time right now, and I just don't think it is something he wants to discuss, especially with you."

As I sat at the kitchen table, I heard my phone vibrate and saw a message from JJ. hey babe, we on for tonight?

Mya: With Maverick's sister, not tonight.

JJ: I will be sure to punish you next time

"Who are you texting?"

"Huh?"

"You had a smile on your face."

Shaking my head, I shoved my phone in my pocket and grabbed the glass of wine off of the table. "You'll really help me plan our wedding?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I am going to go home. See you tomorrow?"

Callie

I watched as Mya pulled out of the driveway and called my brother. "Hey, are you alright?"

"I would keep an eye on Mya."

"Why do you say that?"

"She's been acting suspicious."

"Why do you say that?"

"She has been on her phone a whole lot lately."

"Duly noted, thanks, sis."
