(Private chat: Dum-dum🗿)

Dum-dum🗿:
Do you know how hard it is to not say anything when someone asks about you?
I'm 0.1 seconds away from running my mouth before I remember that you guys STILL haven't told anyone

Baby Ash🍼:
Sounds like another you problem 😜

Dum-dum🗿:
It'll be a you problem if the first anyone hears about your pregnancy is from me not remembering to keep my mouth shut

Baby Ash🍼:
I know 😣

Dum-dum🗿:
How come you still haven't told anyone else?
It's not exactly like having a pregnant woman in the chat is a new thing. Shelby's been in the chat for a while now, remember?

Baby Ash🍼:
I know Shelbs is there 😜
I don't know, I guess I'm just being cautious. Nobody else can get attached if they didn't know about the pregnancy in the first place, so if something goes wrong then they don't get their hearts broken too

Dum-dum🗿:
Beau...
Why do you think anything is going to go wrong?

Baby Ash🍼:
That's the kind of luck this family has apparently

Dum-dum🗿:
It was an accident, Beau. Our family wasn't cursed with bad luck, it was just a freak accident that nobody saw coming.
I can't say that Flynn wasn't nervous when Phoebs was pregnant because he probably was, but so are all soon-to-be fathers.
Matt is probably shitting bricks about being a dad too. He's always wanted to be a dad some day, but that doesn't mean he isn't scared now that it's actually happening

Baby Ash🍼:
I'm sorry I'm being so pessimistic
I guess I'm just letting myself worry a little too much

Dum-dum🗿:
You and the baby are going to be fine.
Stop worrying and enjoy the wonders of growing another human
Plus, you're not going to be able to hide this pregnancy forever. The other girls are already a little confused about why you keep declining nights out or cancelling on them

Baby Ash🍼:
It's not my fault that the term "morning sickness" is misleading in every way

Dum-dum🗿:
I know but think of the pretty amazing prize you're going to get after going through all of this 😜
You two are going to be amazing parents and I'm excited to be an uncle again

Baby Ash🍼:
Of course you are
You're pretty baby obsessed. It's a surprise you haven't got one yet

Dum-dum🗿:
Shush. I'm living and loving my youth before I even contemplate having a kid of my own
I'm totally down to just be an uncle for a while yet before I take on the new responsibility to "dad/father"

Baby Ash 🍼:
Whatever 😂

Dum-dum🗿:
So, you're going to tell everyone before I mess up and let it slip?
I mean, you're how far along now?

Baby Ash 🍼:
9 weeks, nearly 10
So nearly 2 and a half months

Dum-dum🗿:
Exactly, a baggy sweater isn't going to hide it from them soon

Baby Ash 🍼:
Okay, I'll tell them
But only because you're right about not being able to hide it and because they're my friends
I have been a little unfair by not telling them sooner
