Loving My Brother’s Best Friend

“You’re kidding, right? Cole and you’re playing truth or dare, and it’s your dare. I caught you, my sister.” He laughed. “But I must say, you’re a great actor.”

“Ethan, I’m not kidding. I’m seriously pregnant.” She told him again, holding his hand, and Ella just stood still in shock.

“Really?” She lowered her eyes and nodded as he asked again for confirmation because the news was unbelievable for him.

“Fuck! You’re so young. How could Cole be so careless? I’m not going to leave him.” He jerked Reyna’s hand and stormed out of the room.

“Ethan, listen to me.” She yelled and ran behind him, but Ella stopped her by coming in front of her.

“Barbie, let them talk.”

“Ethan is so angry, Ella. It could create a problem between them.” Reyna stared at her, distraught.

Ella blinked her eyes in assurance. “Don’t worry. Nothing can create a rift between them. We both know how strong their friendship is.”

I slightly nodded. “I know, but I’m still afraid.”This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“Anyway, what did you both think about the baby?” Ella asked her.

“We’ll keep the baby. Cole wanted me to abort it because it was too early for me to have the baby, but I convinced him. We’re happy.” She told her.

Ella gave her a tight hug. “You’re going to be Mom, congratulations, and don’t worry, Ethan will understand.”

“I hope so.” She wished, wrapping her arms around her.

Ethan burst open the door and marched into the room. As Cole saw him, his eyelashes moved down in mortification.

He rushed towards Cole and punched him in his face before grabbing his collar in fury and speaking with utter disappointment. “Cole, what did you do? I didn’t expect this from you.” Cole slowly raised his eyelashes and stared at him with immense guilt in his eyes.

“God dammit, she is my little sister, Cole. She is only eighteen years old. How could you be so careless?” Ethan chided him, completely losing his mind after knowing about his sister’s pregnancy.

Cole hid his face behind his hands, embarrassed. He expected Ethan to react in this manner, but as he listened to his words, he became concerned about his kiddo’s ability to take care of a baby at such a young age.

“Fuck!” Ethan stamped his foot in outrage and again grabbed his collar. He yelled, “I want to kill you.”

“Bro, I need you.” Cole’s voice cracked as he spoke in a sorrowful tone, and he gave him a look of complete helplessness.

Ethan’s anger disappeared after realising he was only thinking about his sister and not his best friend when he observed his best friend’s vulnerable state.

He closed his eyes and exhaled to compose himself. “I’m sorry. I just lost my temper when I got to know that Reyna is pregnant.”

“I can understand, Ethan. I was even angry with myself when I got to know about the news.” Cole walked to the bed, sat down and ran his hand through his hair. “You have no idea how I have spent days since I got to know about her pregnancy. We have decided to keep the baby, but I’m still worried about Kiddo.” He spoke, musing straight.

Ethan stood in front of him and placed his hand on his shoulder. “Cole, do you want this baby? Are you ready?” As he inquired, Cole raised his eyes at him.

“Of course, Ethan, I’m ready to have a family with my love, but I’m just worried about her.”

Ethan sat beside him on the bed. “If you are both ready, then just chill. Ella and I are with you. We will all manage together.” Ethan gave him much-needed assurance, and Cole stared at him in disbelief because, even after being Reyna’s brother, he was still supporting him.

“Thank you, bro. Thank you so much.” Cole hugged him with a beatific smile on his face.

“But as Reyna’s brother, I’m still angry with you.” Ethan glared at him as they pulled apart.

“And I know how to pacify him.” Cole stood up, smiling, and Ethan’s brows narrowed in confusion as he stared at him. “I’m just coming.”

He rushed out of the room, and Ethan yelled, “Cole, where are you going?”

Cole returned, holding two cans of chilled beer. “I hope this will cool you down.” He extended one of the cans to Ethan.

“No, this won’t work.” He snatched the can and took a sip after opening the can’s lid.

“Dude! I swear, I was always very careful with her. I think, perhaps this happened during the times when I was disturbed after losing my passion.” Cole sat beside him and told him after taking a sip of beer.

“Chill, I’m not angry with you anymore because this could happen to anybody.”

“So it means, the beer worked.” Cole grinned, holding out the can.

“Yes, it worked.” Ethan laughed, clicking his can with Cole’s.

“There I was getting worried thinking about you both, and here you both are drinking beer and chilling. Wow!” Reyna marched into the room and clapped, glaring at them, and they stared at her silently.

Ella also reached there.

Reyna snatched the can from Cole’s hand and was about to drink. “Stop.” Ethan and Cole shouted in unison, getting worried, and Reyna immediately stopped.

“Kiddo, what are you doing? You’re pregnant.”

“I know I’m pregnant but you both made me angry, and that’s why I forgot it.” She yelled, giving back the can to Cole.

“Sweetie-”

“I don’t want to talk to anybody, and sorry for disturbing your enjoyment.” She stormed out of the room in fury.

“Why is she behaving like this?” Ethan asked, clueless.

“It’s pregnancy mood swings, Ethan. I have been dealing with them for a week,” Cole explained to him.

“Oh!” Ethan made O mouth.

“I just come after checking on her.” As Cole was about to stand up, Ethan stopped him by placing his hand on his shoulder.

“Today, I’ll mollify my pregnant sister.” He blinked his eyes at Cole before leaving the room.

“Baby, your Mumma is not going to talk with your Daddy and Ethan mama (Uncle) because they were chilling while your Mumma was worrying about them.” Reyna was complaining about her brother and boyfriend to her baby, sitting on the swing in the garden when Ethan arrived there.

“Hey.” As Ethan sat beside her on the swing, she averted her eyes.

“Cole brought the beer to cool me down, Reyna. We were just about to come to you.” As Ethan explained to her, she moved her eyes filled with anger at him. “I’m sorry.” As his brothers apologised, her heart melted and anger vanished from her eyes.

“I know you both can never forget me, and I’m so relieved that you aren’t angry with us.” She flashed a smile at him.

“I can never be mad at my sister.” He stroked her cheek with his thumb.

“I’m blessed to have you.” As she rested her head on his chest, he kissed her head.

“Reyna, are you seriously ready to have this baby? It’s a big responsibility.” As Ethan asked her in a serious tone, she raised her head from his chest and looked at him.

“I know it’s early, but, Ethan, I’m ready because I always dreamed of having a family with the love of my life. God is fulfilling my dream soon, so I’m super duper happy.” She merrily told him.

“God bless you and your baby.” He placed a kiss on her forehead.

Cole was sitting on the bed when Reyna entered the room and locked the door. “I’m feeling so hot.” She turned around and began taking off her clothes one by one, and Cole’s eyes widened in astonishment.

She sat on his lap in a black lingerie set, driving him insane. Due to the pregnancy, her sex hormones were at their peak.

“I love you.” She whispered against his lips before eating his lips hungrily. He responded to her with equal flavour and unclasped her bra. She moaned in his mouth as he massaged her sensitive tits. They savagely devoured each other’s lips, rubbing their crotch against each other.

***

They were silently lying naked in each other’s arms after their wild encounter. She was playing with his neck chain, and he was stroking her belly.

“Cole, what if it’s not a baby girl? Will you be upset?” She suddenly asked him, breaking the silence.

“Not at all, Kiddo. It doesn’t matter to me if it’s a girl or boy, what matters to me is that the baby will be the symbol of our love.” He answered her.

“Then why do you always refer to our baby as Princess?”

“Because I have a strong feeling that we’ll have a baby girl.” He rose and kissed her bare belly, and a beatific smile flashed on her face.

He again lay down, holding his Kiddo in his warm strong arms, and they fell asleep while conversing about their baby.
