“Thank you so much for coming.” Jayden said as they finished talking with some of his friends.
“Deborah,” David approached them, giving the brunette a thumbs–up.
“Okay, we’re coming,” she said, smiling at him.
“What’s going on?” Jayden asked, confused.
“Come on, love, we’re about to unveil the dessert table for the guests.”
“Oh, right, let’s go,” Jayden said, intertwining his hand with hers as they headed to the area, which was covered with a curtain.
When they arrived at the location, Deborah signaled the DJ.
“Ahem… attention, please,” the DJ announced. “At this moment, we invite you to direct your gaze to the mysterious part of the party as the newlyweds have a surprise to share with you.”
“Ooh, what is it?” Elliot asked excitedly.
Deborah took the microphone that was offered to her while Jayden held James. “Good evening, everyone. First of all, thank you so much for attending our wedding,” she said with a smile. “As our DJ mentioned, it’s time to reveal what’s behind this curtain. But for that, I’m going to need the help of my family,” she said, looking toward the table where her father and in–laws were sitting.
“Us?” Eric asked.
“Yes, come on.”
The family members in question looked a bit puzzled but stood up to join them.
“So, what’s this about?” Nicholas asked.
“David,” Deborah said.
“Of course,” David said, handing out cards to the elders, James, and Jayden.
“What’s this for, love? Jayden asked, not recalling this part of the wedding.
“It’s a game where you need to combine your words to form a sentence,” Deborah explained. “When you say it, it will reveal what’s behind the curtain.”
“Ooh… that sounds fun,” Samantha said. “Let’s see, my word is ‘elder.““.
“Mine is is,” Eric read.
“Now,” Nicholas added.
“James, Jayden said. “Uh… wait…”
The adults looked at each other in amazement as the words combined…
“What does James’s card say?” Samantha asked, moving closer to take the card from the little one’s hands. “Brother,” she declared, stunned.

“Deborah, are you…?” Jayden began to ask, his excitement building.
“Yes. James is going to be a big brother,” she said as the curtain was pulled back to reveal a candy table decorated with flowers and baby–themed items. “Jayden, I’m pregnant.”
The announcement was met with applause from all the guests.
“No, really…? Wow…!” Samantha started crying tears of joy. “I’m going to be a grandma again!”
“How far along…?” Jayden began to ask, unable to finish his question due to his excitement.
“Two months–oh!” Deborah was saying when Jayden picked her up and twirled her around before kissing
her.
“My love, you make me the happiest man in the world,” he declared, his face lit up with a wide smile.
James babbled, thrilled to see his dad so happy.
“You heard that, little one? You’re going to be a big brother,” Nicholas said, cuddling his grandson.
“Congratulations to the bride,” the DJ announced as everyone applauded and moved to get a sweet treat from the table, offering their congratulations to the couple on their new baby news.
“We really need to plan a baby shower this time,” Caroline said, hugging her friend.
“Haha, now it’s going to be the three musketeers, Christian joked as he came over to congratulate them.
“Or they could be the princess’s knights,” Jayden said, excitedly.
“Either way, we’ll love them so much,” Nicholas said.
“Congratulations!” Elliot ran to hug Deborah. “I’m going to be an uncle again, yay!”
“Congratulations to both of you,” George said as he approached.
“But next time, wait a bit before starting on another,” Eric advised, giving his son a proud pat on the shoulder.
“Yeah, Dad,” Jayden replied with a grin.
