From Best Friend To Fiancé (Savannah and Roman) novel Chapter 444

Chapter 250: Here Comes Drama

Savannah

I kept her words tucked tightly in my mind, like a fragile warning I

didn’t dare drop.

River had been restless since I sat down–her gaze flicking to the

doors every few seconds, her fingers smoothing imaginary creases

from her dress, her posture straightening and resetting again.

Whatever she was waiting for had her on edge, and I could feel it

bleeding into the room like static.

The dining hall itself was massive–long enough to host a banquet,

yet intimate enough to feel suffocating. Everything was polished and

curated. Even the silence felt rehearsed.

“So…” Riley began, leaning forward slightly, resting her elbows on the

table with a grin that was entirely too bright for the heaviness in the

air. “Word spread that you’re pregnant with Roman’s baby.”

My brows lifted a little, but there was no malice in her tone–only

curiosity.

“I don’t mean to be rude or intrusive,” she hurried on, clearly

realizing how blunt she’d sounded, “but I was just wondering how far

along you are? And what are you expecting? Boy or girl? Or–wait–is

it too early to tell?” Her eyes were wide, eager, innocent.

I smiled before I could stop myself.

“Well,” I said softly, amusement curling through my voice, “it’s

definitely too early to tell if it’s a boy or girl. You can hardly even tell

I’m pregnant at this point.” I let out a small laugh. “I’m only four

weeks along.”

Her mouth fell open. “That’s… a month?”

I nodded.

Just then, Ramsey returned to his seat, practically vibrating with

excitement as he slid back into place like he’d missed something

monumental.

“Cool,” Riley said, nodding thoughtfully. “Don’t the kicks happen

around this time?”

I burst out laughing before I could help myself.

“What?” she protested, laughing too. “Why are you laughing?”

“No,” I said, still smiling. “No, Riley. Not yet.”

She groaned dramatically. “Don’t laugh at me. I’m just curious. And

I’m only sixteen–I know nothing about this.”

I tilted my head, softening. “Want to know something?”

She nodded eagerly.

“I know nothing about this either.”

Her face lit up like I’d given her a secret instead of a confession. “I

hope you and my brother have a healthy, beautiful baby.”

Something warm tightened in my chest.

I reached across the table and squeezed her hand gently. “Thank you,

Riley.”

“And I hope it’s a girl,” Ramsey added cheerfully. “So she looks

beautiful just like you, ma’am.”

Riley snorted. “That’s not how it works, Ramsey. If it’s a girl, she’s

going to have Roman’s entire face. But if it’s a boy, I heard he’ll look

exactly like the mother.”

Ramsey’s eyes widened. “Then in that case, I hope it’s a boy.”

I laughed quietly, watching them bicker with fond amusement.

“I’m sorry,” I said after a moment, curiosity getting the better of me.

“But are you two… siblings? From the same mom?”

They stared at each other for a second. Then burst out laughing.

“Do we look alike?” Riley asked, pointing between them.

“I don’t think we do,” Ramsey said thoughtfully. “Maybe just a little

resemblance here and there.”

“Yup,” Riley agreed easily. Then she shook her head. “Ramsey has

siblings. But I don’t.” She shrugged. “I’m the only illegitimate child

my mom’s got.”

“Oh.” The word slipped out before I could stop it.

Blunt didn’t even begin to cover that statement.

“Yes,” Ramsey said calmly. “She’s telling the truth. I have a sister- Rosalie.” He nodded toward the rude girl from earlier, seated a few
