Even though the island only sees two seasons—hot and hell—Kaiden and Olivia choose to sit outdoors.
It's not because the pregnant Omega needs more sun, but because every auntie and uncle seems to have gotten wind that he's carrying twins. There's only so much cooing and congratulations Kaiden can stand in one afternoon before it becomes too much for him.
Eating ice cream under a shade is how they decided to escape after the teenager, in midst of squeals and giggles, practically broadcasted to everyone the good news.
Of course, even with a popsicle in one hand, Olivia hasn't forgotten to apologize. "I'm sorry again, Kaiden," she says, eyes on the grass. "I didn't mean to be so loud."
Kaiden chuckles, eating the last of his wafer cone before saying, "It's okay. I wasn't hiding it anyway."
It's true. After all, there's no use in hiding if his midsection is going to look like a bouncing ball soon.
