Pizza.

"How about pizza?" Elizabeth answered, looking at the other girls who nodded in agreement.

"How about Uncle Tony's Pizzeria?" Stephanie suggested.

"Are their pizzas any good?" Talia asked.

"I order from them every time I have a craving for pizza," Stephanie replied.

"Sounds good to me!" Amy chirped.

"What do you guys want to eat?" Stephanie asked while she went to grab her cordless phone.

"Order anything because I'm starving!" Elizabeth answered.

"That's because you're eating for two!" I joked but regretted it as soon as I said it. My wife glared at me for revealing her secret but luckily Stephanie was too busy dialing to pay attention to what I had said.

"BBQ chicken pizza!" Talia replied.

"Meat lovers!" Amy shouted.

"What about you, Ian?" Stephanie asked while jotting down our orders.

"Whatever flavor wings they have," I answered while Stephanie relayed our orders to the pizzeria.

"The food should be here in about half an hour," she stated after hanging up. "Do you want some snacks to tie you over?"

"Sure!" the three girls cheered in unison. I plopped myself on the couch and let the girls raid the fridge and cupboards of whatever snacks Stephanie had.

"Do you want some celery sticks, honey?" Elizabeth asked, placing down a plate of celery, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower on the coffee table.

"Sure, I guess. It'll offset the meat lover pizza I ordered," I smiled, dipping a carrot into the dip.

"So how are you guys?" Stephanie asked when we finally all sat down in the living room (Elizabeth sat on my lap to let Amy and Talia sit down on the couch).

"I'm doing good but not as great as Elizabeth and Talia!" I chuckled and got a side eye from my wife.

"Oh?" Stephanie wondered with perked curiousity.

I looked at Elizabeth and she sighed — I knew she was saving to break the news of her pregnancy in front of both Stephanie and Corrine. "You're sleeping on the couch tonight," she muttered before getting off my lap. "We have some good news to tell you."

"You're pregnant!" Stephanie squealed with joy, jumping out of the armchair to hug her best friend.

"How did you know?" Elizabeth asked.

"You two have been trying for months now, silly!" Stephanie giggled with glee and turned to give Talia a hug. "You're pregnant as well, huh?"

"Yeah, I can't believe I'm going to be a mother," Talia muttered, apparently dawning on her the reality of the situation.

"Congratulations on being a daddy, Ian!" Stephanie gave me a kiss and a hug. "It was matter of time before you knocked a couple of us up!"

"Be careful, Stephanie, he's so virile he could have gotten you pregnant from that hug!" Amy joked.

"What about you?" the buxom blonde wondered while touching her friends' flat bellies.

"What about me?" the redhead retorted.

"Do you want another baby?" Stephanie quizzed.

Amy gave me a quick look before answering with a shrug, "Maybe one day when I find Mr. Right."

"Well, you did admit to us that you had fantasize that you were married to Ian and wished he was Adam's father..." Stephanie noted.

"That's different!" Amy disagreed, her face turning almost as red as her hair.

"Would you be upset if your husband got Amy pregnant?" Stephanie asked my wife.

"He should be more worried about her father," Elizabeth responded with a wink to me.

"Oh yeah, he knows about us..." Stephanie remembered.

"How do you know about that?" Amy gasped.

"Ian told me when I called yesterday," Stephanie responded. "Our parents won't know, right?"

"My father is a man of his word," Amy reassured her. "He may not approve of how close our special little clique is but he definitely won't reveal it to our families."

We settled down by chitchatting about possible baby names, prenatal classes the girls would want to take, and who will do diaper duty (both Elizabeth and Talia said it would be me) while we waited for the delivery guy to arrive. I offered to answer the doorbell and pay for the food so the girls could keep talking. The girls cheered when I bought over the armful of pizza and wings over to the coffee table. Everyone was famished and hungrily grabbed slices of pizza to chomp down on.
