Chapter 176 – Bonus – Big News
Isabella’s POV

“Trust me,” Isabella giggled. “Nonna is deadlier than both of them combined, but no one suspects the grandmother.”

Zander chuckled, “You don’t have to tell me that twice.”

“So have you two discussed baby names yet?” Kimmy asked.

“We haven’t,” I replied. “School and life have been so busy.”

“You know, Dante is a fantastic name,” Twerkley grinned.

Kimmy hit him on the shoulder. “You already have one kid named after you, don’t push it,” Kimmy said, rolling her eyes.

“Well, I did leave a baby name book in your bungalow, if you plan to do some light reading,” Amelie said, smiling.

“Thanks, Amelie,” Zander responded.

“I can’t believe my little munchkin is getting married and having babies,” Amelie said, starting to cry.

“Uh-oh, here comes the water works,” Zander stated.

“Are you ok?” Nathan asked Amelie. “Maybe we should tell them.”

“Tell us what?” Zander asked.

Amelie nodded at Nathan. “Well, we didn’t want to take away from this weekend and your wedding,” Nathan expressed. “But we have some exciting news. Amelie is pregnant.”

“WHAT?” Morgan squealed and raced over to Amelie to hug her.

“Congratulations!” Salvatore announced, and others followed suit.

Zander got up and went to hug Amelie. I knew how much he loved being an uncle. He’s going to make such an awesome dad. I walked over to Amelie. “I’m so excited for you!” I said, hugging her.

“I can’t wait for our kids to grow up together,” Amelie beamed, “and I can’t wait to have you for a sister.”

“Me too,” I responded.

“Hopefully, there isn’t five in there again,” Paul joked.

“Actually,” Amelie said, biting her lip. “Triplets.”

“Oh my God, stock market,” Twerkley exclaimed. “What the hell?!?”

Everyone laughed.

“What can I say?” Nathan shrugged. “I’m an overachiever.”

“But please don’t say anything to Eliza and the Quints yet,” Amelie announced. “We want to surprise them.”

“Our lips are sealed,” Morgan said, making a zipped lip motion. “When are you due?”

“Late August,” Nathan grinned. “I guess we have to do some more remodeling. Luckily, the last penthouse on the floor below us went up for sale. We signed the papers yesterday to buy it.”

“Do I get to move downstairs?” Logan asked.

“That’s what we were planning,” Amelie said, smiling.

“Sweet!” Logan said, fist pumping.

“Well, enough about babies,” Amelie mentioned. “Ladies, when we finish lunch, we’ll all be off to the spa for some pampering.”

There was excited chatter from the ladies at the table.

“I’ve never had a spa treatment,” Suzie declared.

“Well, you’re in for a treat then,” Amelie grinned. “Facials, pedicures, manicures, and hair treatments for all.”

Oh, yes! I need to be pampered. However, Zander has been spoiling me rotten. I get daily foot massages, and last week I complained about lower back pain, so he signed us up for mommy yoga classes. He’s also hired a cook to prepare healthy meals for us.

“All of us boys will be heading off to the mainland for a round of golf,” Nathan informed the table.

“I’m surprised you didn’t build a golf course here,” Dutton laughed.

“I looked into it,” Nathan smirked. “Not enough room. I should have bought a bigger island, I guess.”

“Just be prepared,” I advised. “Papa is SUPER competitive at golf.”

“Great,” Twerkley sighed. “Now we have two for them.” He looked over at Nathan.

“What?” Nathan asked. “I’m not that competitive!”

“Just remember,” I giggled. “I warned you.”

We all finished eating, and Amelie ushered all of us ladies through the main house to the spa area.

Suzie, Trina, and I all opted for the pedicures first.

“Do you live like this all the time?” Suzie asked, looking around.

“No,” I giggled. “I get my nails and toes done once a month, but I’m not hanging out in a spa weekly, and I’m definitely not jetting away to a private island every weekend.”

“But your family does have a lot of money, right?” Trina queried.

“Yes, they are millionaires,” I advised. “Zander’s brother and grandfather are billionaires. His grandfather, Carrington, is in the top 10 richest people in the USA.”

“Wow, Izzy. How are you so normal?” Suzie laughed. “You’re not a flaunt it in your face, rich person. Unless you told us or showed us, I would never have guessed your family had that much money. Same going for Zander.”

“My parents raised me that way,” I stated. “We worked for everything we got. It wasn’t just handed to us. As for Zander, he was raised without much growing up. He didn’t even find out he was Nathan’s brother until a few years ago.”

“So, Zander’s sister married his brother?” Trina said, scrunching up her face in confusion.

“Confusing, right?” I replied. “Amelie’s parents were Elizabeth and Edwin Cavanaugh. Nathan’s dad, William Michaels, switched the sperm sample at the fertility clinic because he loved Elizabeth. So, Nathan’s dad is Zander’s, too. Nathan’s parents are William and Vivian Michaels. Amelie and Nathan don’t share parents, because Zander is technically half brother to both of them.”

“Wow,” Suzie replied. “How confusing.”

“Zander’s parents died when he was 5 years old. It was so tragic,” I sighed. “I’m just happy we found each other. I would love him, rich or poor,” I said, smiling.

“You really do have an amazing love story,” Suzie beamed. “The way he looks at you is dreamy.”

“I know,” I grinned. “It doesn’t help me right now, though. I’m so unbelievably horny right now, and we decided not to have sex until the wedding.”

“Oh gosh,” Trina laughed. “Why wait? You’re on this beautiful island. It’s so romantic. You need to get yourself some!”

“I agree,” Suzie nodded. “This is where you had your first kiss. Indulging just this night wouldn’t hurt, would it?”

They were right. This island is special for Zander and me, and damn, I wanted to climb him like a tree and shake his branches. That’s it. I’m doing it. As soon as he gets back from golf, I’m pushing him to the bed and pouncing. Zander is not going to know what hit him.
