I can tell she doesn’t want to be here for this, but Dean dragged her into the kitchen with us, latched his hand onto hers, and hasn’t let go since I don’t get why he’s so pissed about this It’s not like he’s the one about to become a father And I know for a fact he’s not still into Sabrina, because he looks at Allie like she hung the damn moon The two of them hit a rocky patch after Beau’s death, but the last couple of ly in love

"Tuck?" Allie pro her blonde hair behind her ear

I take a terse swig of my beer "I don’t havea kid End of story"

"How long have you been seeing her?" Logan demands

"A while" Their frowns tell me they don’t like an looks startled Garrett doesn’t, which makes me narrow my eyes at hiuys swivel their heads toward hian echoes

"It lances across the table ather hand at Beau’s h Dean’s eyes, I know he’s thinking about how he got piss-drunk in his roo the an turns back to hter sputters out "We’re having a baby Of course it’s serious"

Dean’s question elicits a gasp frory scowl from me

"Because we decided to keep it," I say harshly

Everyone flinches I’m pretty sure they’ve never heard me snap at anyone before Usually I don’t, but Dean is treading dangerously close to I’et that he doesn’t like Sabrina, but he will damn well show her respect, even when she’s not in the room

"Hey Let’s relax, okay?" Garrett proves why he’s our teah, I realize, he’s not Dean’s captain anyot kicked off the tea test was one of the catalysts for his dragging himself back to the land of the sober That, and Allie

"This is Tuck’s life," Garrett goes on "We have no right to judge his decisions If this is what he wants, then we’re going to support hiht"

Dean’s jaw tightens "This is going to ruin your life, er siut "Well, it’s et a say in it"

"What about Harvard?" he pushes "Is she still gonna go?"

"Yes"

He shakes his head "Does she get how ti law school is?"

"Of course"
