It was friday night, basketball game, half of the Neptune was here, Joey, Aoife and Jules were at work. Mina tried to avoid Joey as she could to keep Aoife's pregnancy for her. The tensions at the apartment were more and more felt by everyone. Before the game, Nathan talked to Mina.

Nathan : hey are you okay ?

Mina : Me ? Yeah I'm okay why ?

Nathan : You've been a bit away lately

Mina : I had important homeworks, but don't worry I'm okay

Nathan : Okay if you need I'm here

Mina : I know, thank you she smiled

Nathan gave her a quick kiss and started to walk but heard Mina saying something

Mina : Hey 23 Nathan turned around call me she winked

Nathan laughed and both of them walked away

The game went by and the Ravens won again. And as usual, they all went to trick to celebrate. But while they were playing on the field, at trick tensions were felt in the room.

MEANWHILE AT TRICK

Joey, Aoife and Jules worked in silence which never happened. Doug came out of his apartment as usual to talk with the three of them.

Doug : Jeez, you talk a lot today

Jules : good to see you too Doug

Doug : are you all still mad at each other ?

Joey : I don't know ? Do they still want to hide something ?

Aoife sighed : Joey stop it

Joey : Aoife, you didn't talk to me for two weeks, what am I supposed to do ?

Aoife : Not be mad at Jules

Joey : Yeah well she doesn't want to help understand

Jule : Oh come on Joe-

Doug : The three of you, stop it ! You need to talk and arrange everything between you. You can't be mad at each other for eternity ! So stop being children, sit down and talk

Nobody moved. They just looked at each other

Doug : Now !

Boss : Thank you, I couldn't take it anymore

The three of them sat down. Aoife took a deep breath.

Aoife : alright, Joey, we need to talk seriously

Joey straightened in his chair and listened carefully

Aoife : If Jules didn't tell you anything it's because I asked her too

Joey : wh-

Aoife : Just let me finish please

Joey nodded

Aoife : Joey- I, I hum, I'm pregnant

Joey froze.

Aoife : and I- I think I wanna keep it

Joey didn't say anything, he just absorbed the words

Aoife : Joey say something please

Joey turned to Jules : You knew about it ? That's why you didn't tell me ?

Jule just nodded.

Joey : I'm gonna be a father ?
