I hand them an envelope. “You need to open this together.”

I take a small step back so I’m by Mila’s side. She grabs my hand and we wait for them to open it. Diesel pulls out the sonogram pictures, handing one to Hollywood. They both stare hard at them, studying them. Simultaneously, they look at me.

“Is this for real,” Hollywood asks.

“Two?” Diesel says.

I nod my head.

“Surprise,” Mila shouts.

“What’s going on,” Minx asks.

“She’s pregnant.” The smile on Diesel’s face stretches from ear to ear.

“With twins!” Hollywood laughs. The room erupts into cheers and Hollywood and Diesel pull me into a group hug. The door opens behind us and the room goes silent. I turn to see who it is.

My heart skips a beat. “Mom?”

“Hey, baby!” She takes a few steps toward me and hugs me.

“Mandy?” Ratchet says.

My mom lets go of me and glances over my shoulder. “Robbie?”

“You two know each other,” I ask her.

“Yeah,” she hesitates. “He’s your father.”

“What?” Ratchet and I shout at the same time.

“We have a lot to catch up on.” Her eyes go from mine to his and back.

“As if this week couldn’t get any crazier,” Diesel mutters.

A couple of hours later, my mom has caught Ratchet and I up on everything she’s neglected to tell us my whole life. She was able to meet Diesel and Hollywood and learned we’re all three together. And expecting twins. Then she was able to meet Krissy and Mila. Luckily, everyone is getting along great.

I had to tell her about Andy, which was hard since it happened almost two months ago. Mom said she had been traveling with a couple of girlfriends and lost her phone and didn’t even realize it until two weeks later. She had to get a new phone and a new number and has been so busy at work, trying to save up to come visit, she forgot to call. Sadly, that’s typical behavior for her. She feels awful about it, but we can’t go back and change anything. All we can do now is move forward.

It’s been a wild ride getting to where we are now, but I wouldn’t change anything about it. I have two men who I love and love me back. I have two babies growing in my belly. And a huge family that loves and supports us unconditionally. I know I can handle anything with Hollywood and Diesel by my side.

The end . . . For now.
