New York Detectives (Book 3)

Chapter 15

Everyone was silent for five minutes straight, trying to grasp onto the info.

"So, after years of us telling you to get pregnant you finally did?" Ammy asked and I laughed and nodded, placing a hand on my stomach.

"Yeah, I am." I said. I was then being hugged and congratulated. The guys went to Sherlock and would shake his hand, congratulating him as well.

"Do you have names picked out?" Brittany asked and I glanced at Sherlock then back to her and smirked.

"Well, I do have a few that would be good for a girl and a couple for a boy." I said, herding the girls to the couch and having myself sit on the coffee table.

"I have Emily Carey Holmes, Jade Rose Holmes for the girl. And for the boy, Ace Courtnie-Derek Craig, Bruce William Holmes, or Sean Maiden Holmes." I said and Brittany nodded, along with Amnesty.

"You're kidding about the "Ace" name, right?" Mom asked and I laughed.
"Of course I am. I was just saying it so you'd recognize the initials. " I laughed and it took them a moment until Mom chuckled and shook her head.

"AC DC." Brittany said and I smiled, nodding.

"No, but I really want Ace Jay Holmes." I said, receiving nods of approval.
"They all have a nice ring to it, but now you'll have to run them by him. Not that you'll give him much choice." Lexy said and I laughed, nodding.

"Yeah, but I guess I can give him a choice." I joked, crossing my legs. Mom smiled at me and stood up, grabbing my hand. She smiled and rubbed the hairs out of my face, making me smile.

"Just be careful." She said and I nodded, tilting my head.
"Always am." I said and she hugged me.

"C'mon, Ma. Don't make me cry." I choked out, hugging her tightly. She laughed and apologized.

"I'm your mother, I'm going to get emotional." She defended, straightening her stance and wiping under her eyes.
"Well, when you get emotional, Ammy gets emotional. " I laughed and looked to Ammy, seeing her wipe her un-spilled tears. "See?!" I exclaimed and pointed to her, causing us to laugh.

"Mom, we have to get going. I have to get to work. " Devin said and I looked to him, raising my brow at him.
"What happened to your car?!" I asked and he looked at me, raising his brow.

"Went on one of my expeditions and the tire went over a nail and the tire deflated at my place when I got back. " He said and I covered my mouth, chuckling.
"Well that sucks. " I stated and he nodded.

"Just a bit." He said and I chuckled, standing up. I started giving out hugs to everyone, promising I'd see them when I could.

"Sherlock, take good care of her. " Mom warned and left after saying she loved us.

"OK, I guess I'll finish decorating." I chuckled softly and locked the door, going up the stairs, feeling Sherlock's eyes watching me.

Two months later

"Uh, flip the page back one." I told Mary, looking at the huge binder she had, filled with bridesmaids dresses.

She flipped the page and I pointed at the screen, forgetting I wasn't there.
"That one." I said, looking back at my notes.

"Which one?" Mary asked and I looked up and laughed.

"Sorry, the lilac one. I think it'll look great. I could pull off lilac." I said, writing down the choice of dress.

"OK, next is the... " she said, moving from the screen and to the table, finding another binder.
"Flowers!" she exclaimed and I chuckled, already putting the word Flowers in the center of the page. I put a bullet point on the second line.
