"there you are, i thought you shoved my 2 girls down the toilet" Alejandro said once we arrived at the table
"girl? i thought we agreed it was a boy" my mom said
"i think we have enough boys in the family" Ale countered "i mean me, Emi, Tayler, dad AND Kai"
"but she's been eating a lot of sweet things, so it's probably a girl" Tayler said
"what? i hate sweet things" Cynthia said sitting down
"babe, you ate a whole packet of sour patch kids in 2 minutes yesterday" Ale said "the jumbo pack"
"okay enough of that, we'll find out in a month" my mom hushed "it's time for Mel, to give her big sister speech"

I sighed and downed another glass of champagne

"woah babe, slow down, that's like your third glass" Tayler smiled "you okay?"
"you have no idea"

I made my way to the podium, smiling at my little brother before beginning my speech. I finished it off with an Iron Man quote, knowing it was his favourite and earning a couple of laughs before making my way back to our table.

"I mean travelling is always tiring the jet lag can get to a person" Miguel said to my father
"Melody! Miguel here was just telling us about his incident in Paris the other day" my dad laughed
"mmmh, must have been amazing" i said looking toward Tayler who was intrigued by the story
"i mean this guy had to dodge a pack of wild girls! he's literally my hero" Tayler smiled "why have i never heard of him"
"That's because Melody here likes to keep per prized secrets under the wraps" Miguel smirked at me "isn't that right love"

I looked down uncomfortably, scratching the back of my neck

"I don't think you've properly met" My father pushed
"oh no, i'm Tayler Holder, Melody's husband" Tayler smiled "and this bundle of joy right here is Kairo, our son"

Miguel's smile faltered before it returned. He grabbed Tayler's hand and shook it firmly.

"well, i'm Miguel, Melody's-
"high school friend" my mom said quickly
"oh she's never mentioned you before but nice to meet you" Tayler smiled widely

i squeezed my mother's shoulder as a thanks before Addison's loud came through. Before she even reached the i grabbed her hand and we made our way over to the bar

"i saw miguel at the table" she said ordering a strawberry daiquiri
"yeah, i needed to leave that table really quickly" i sighed grabbing some champagne
"i'm guessing you couldn't keep them apart" she giggled
"what gave it away? the fact that he was at my table or that they were talking like old pals?" i asked
"look, the worst hasn't happened right" she asked
"yeah, Miguel knows Tayler's my husband and he hasn't done anything and Tayler thinks he's an old friend which isn't i'm entirely a lie" i shrugged
"so, grab another glass of champagne, let's join our men on the dance floor and have some fun" Addi smiled

I smiled back at her. maybe the worst wouldn't happen
