"Y/nnnn", Paddy called out, entering his eldest brother's house.
"Kitchen!"
Paddy walked in the kitchen to find his sister-in-law pouring an unhealthy amount of hot sauce on her plate with chicken wings, sporting her six-month baby bump.
There would soon be a little nephew for Paddy to play with. Yes, Tom and Y/n were having a boy. When they got the news, Tom was extremely calm about it (kindly note the sarcasm). He was jumping around and yelling as if he'd tell the entire world. In fact, Paddy, the other Holland brothers and Harrison were the first to know the baby's gender as they'd planned the gender reveal party.
"Um, Y/n... That much hot sauce??", Paddy asked cautiously. He didn't want to trigger a mood swing, especially when Y/n seemed to be in a good mood. Or face any wrath, because the wrath of a pregnant woman was horrendous, and he knew that from personal experience. The reason behind that is a story for another time.
"Yeah, want some?", she offered, mouth full. Paddy politely shook his head and gulped.
"Let's sit, come on.", she said, making her way to the sofa. Paddy occupying the nearest sofa.
"So... Um... Y/n...", Paddy said, fiddling with his fingers.
"Tom sent you to check up on me again? I swear I'll kill him. He worries too much. He's just gone to get the kids and thinks that I can't be okay. Wait till he gets here-", Y/n hissed, munching on the chicken wings.
"No no no, Y/n don't kill my brother. He didn't send me. I came myself. I need your help, kind of."
Y/n quirked an eyebrow at Paddy.
"You- you remember Charlotte?"
"Ooh, the girl you have a crush on, isn't it?", Y/n smirked as Paddy blushed furiously.
"Y-yes..."
"So what do you want my help for Padsterman?!"
"Sheinvitedmetoherbirthdayparty!", Paddy said.
"Pardon?", Y/n asked.
"She invited me to her birthday party.", Paddy declared, "Help me."
"Okay.", Y/n said, putting down her chicken wings for the moment, she was interested. "Tell me about her. What she likes and stuff."
"Um- Charlotte is in my year, Charlotte Hutchins. She's half Indian-half British. She loves reading books. She does gymnastics. She's got a dog, a Welsh Corgi, Nicholas. And she loves Marvel movies. She's got flaming ginger hair and striking green eyes. She's almost always wearing a scarf. She sometimes wears glasses too. And she's single!", Paddy said, all in one breath.
"Wow! That's a lot. Does she like you?"
"I think so. You know... She blushes when she's around me and all that. And we were also paired together for our chemistry project."
