“Yeah, my sister’s dog always acts weird when she’s pregnant, protective almost but her dog is also a she. Maybe this is Cosmo’s way of being protective,” saying the word even felt different now. It wasn’t a bad different, more like the word now triggered her mind to think about the fact that there was a baby growing inside of her, different. As he held her in his arms the brunette cuddled into his torso. Declan was always pretty affectionate towards Mackenzie but she found the almost immediate difference in how he was holding her a little funny. “uh, when I was in L.A. for that swim shoot last weekend. Only a couple days,” The news had really caught her off guard then. It was still sinking in with her, and she was certain it would take a while for it to sink in with Declan to as well. “Mackayla and Mackenna were there when I found out but nobody else knows, I wanted you to know first,” When she thought back on it Mackenzie almost wished that they had found out together, but there was always the possibility of a next time and maybe then the two of them would be more prepared. “No, it’s totally weird,” she agreed with a quick nod of her head. “Now that I know I definitely notice things that make it feel real, but I don’t think I’m going to fully believe it until I start showing,” Looking down at her stomach again she let out a content sigh and shook her head. “I mean, a year ago I never would have guessed that we’d be having this conversation right now,” Mackenzie always knew that this would happen eventually, but if someone had asked her back then where she and Declan would be at this moment she most likely would have said something along the lines of cliff- jumping in Fiji, but now that they were here she could happily admit that there was absolutely no place she would rather be.
“Protective and a little jealous, maybe he senses the second baby coming and stealing his thunder.” Declan laughed, feeling a little sorry for the dog because he knew the baby would steal a good amount of the attention they gave him, but Declan knew better than to think him and Mackenzie would ever not give Cosmo enough attention, so the sympathy was short lived. “What did they say?” The blonde’s brows lifted in curiosity, if anyone were going to be as supportive as him he had imagined it were those two, and he was kind of excited to talk to Mackayla himself, the two having grown close since he began dating Mackenzie. Declan sighed at the thought of it all, even with how weird it was the man was overly excited about it all, maybe more than he would have ever anticipated. “Me neither, a year ago I would have probably guessed we’d be in Bora Bora or something.” Declan laughed, “Riding sea turtles, not... this.” But he couldn’t be more grateful with the sudden change of events, “And now we’ll just be going to Bora Bora for our baby moon.” He fell silent, everything still processing in his head, sure he was excited, but the more he thought about it the more it dawned on him how much everything was going to change, now he was a father, and although monetarily that wouldn’t be a problem at all, he wondered more and more how they’d step into the parent roles. “I love you. I can’t believe this is happening, but I love you so much, you’re going to be the most amazing mother.”
