Proud to welcome thenewest Davis.
Caroline
Let us know when Katy is up for visitors. Can’t wait to meet him!
I look down at my son, my chest warm and full, and finally let myself smile.
“We’ll let you breathe,” Ella says. She pauses at the door, glancing back with a smile that’s equal parts teasing and soft.
“We’ll still be right outside,” she adds. “But take your time. You earned it.”
The door closes again and the room settles. I exhale slowly and look down at my baby.
“Guess we’re really doing this, buddy,” I murmur.
“Yeah,” Katy says softly. “We are.”
Katy is finally sleeping when I snap a selfie of the baby tucked against my chest, impossibly small, impossibly perfect, and send it to the group chat.
Maybe Daddies Brigade

Logan
No way. That’s a clone.
Matt
Wow, Mini-Ben
Jason
Not fair. I was hoping for a mini linebacker
Matt
As long as he keeps the giraffe, I’m good.
Logan
Butthurt. Congrats, though.
Ethan
Changing the group name right now.
The title at the top updates:
Almost Baby Daddies
I exhale a laugh and shake my head, thumbs hovering for a second before I type.
Ben
Take it, suckers. He looks just like me. My swimmers are better than yours. DNA test tomorrow just to make it official.
