Mum seems within the doorway resulting in the lounge. “Pippa? The place have you ever been? Your father and I’ve been so fearful. Lucas mentioned you weren’t on the seaside home and that you simply had been secure, however he wouldn’t say something extra.”

I grasp Mum’s forearms. “I’m right here, Mum, and I’m wonderful. There was simply one thing I wanted to maintain.”

“And also you didn’t suppose that we’d wish to know the place you had been?”

I look again over my shoulder. Deacon stands simply outdoors, observing his toes.

He seems to be up and meets my gaze. I nod.

Closing the door behind us, we make our method into the lounge. Mum’s moved to face beside Dad.

“Deacon?” My dad’s face is thunder as he glares at my husband.

Husband.

What a bizarre phrase.

I maintain out my palm. “Dad. It’s okay. Deacon and I’ve sorted every little thing out.”

He frowns. “He broke you, child woman.”

Nodding, I stroll towards him. “I do know. However he’s additionally placing me again collectively.”

Deacon’s hand runs down my backbone till it rests on my decrease again, and I don’t have to show to see how shut he’s.

“Are you positive?”

I lick my lips, my mouth immediately dry. “There’s one thing we have to inform you. Two issues, really. I’m going to wish you and Mum to sit down.”

Dad glances at Mum.

I lead Deacon to the sofa, and we sit as Mum and Dad decrease themselves into their chairs.

Deacon offers me a reassuring smile and a wink earlier than I begin talking.

“Deacon and I’ve been engaged on issues for a short while. Actually, he’s purchased the home subsequent to ours out on the seaside.”

My dad’s eyebrows rise.

“Anyway, we bought to the underside of every little thing, and I used to be fearful that he would possibly do one other runner. So … um …” I maintain out my hand with my rings. “We flew to Vegas and bought married.”

Silence greets us, and Mum and Dad change an extended look.

“Vegas?” Dad asks.

“I didn’t wish to give her an opportunity to get chilly toes on me, sir,” Deacon says.

Dad huffs. “Such as you did?”

“There’s extra to that story, Dad, and we’ll inform you every little thing. However I simply want you to let me share our different information first.”

He leans again in his chair, crossing his arms. “Go on.”

“I’m pregnant. Deacon and I are having a child.”

“Oh, love,” Mum says softly. “That’s fantastic.”

“That why you married her?” Dad asks.
