I knew we were meant to be

 

Wade didn't see it coming. Not with his baby brother Elvis, but Elvis rarely went solo when he asked him to meet up at the coffee shop. Of course, it was too hot for coffee and they got cold frappucinos even if Wade knew it was too late in the day for him to have caffeine. After all, Elvis was buying so it had to be good news.

Elvis told him about the baby. No way could Wade react. Roxanne pregnant. He hated the fact it was her. Anyone else and he'd be a happy fool. Now he just had to act like one. 

"That's just great," Wade knew he was being silly after he choked on the drink and almost spewed it on Elvis who was grinning like an idiot.

"I know. I know you don't think it'll happen." Elvis finally sighed as his smile faded. He played with the straw in his thick creamy drink. He wouldn't even look at Wade.

"Well," Wade winced. "She never wanted kids with Pan."

"He never wanted kids."

Wade looked at him blankly. For a fleeting moment, he thought Pan would make a good dad. Wade never thought he could do it. He cleared his throat.

"Maybe, this..this is the way it's supposed to be."

Wade was serious, and that's when Elvis told him about Rox's egg situation. Naturally, Wade was thinking about the dozen you pick up at the supermarket.

"Is that what they're calling it these days?" Wade smirked. Elvis didn't comment. "See?" Wade knew he had to be happy for Elvis. "It was meant to be. And..and I'll try to be the best uncle I can be." He spoke up for Pan as if he'd be there every step of the way.

"Does this mean you and Pan are getting married?" Elvis looked him in the eye. Wade thought he might fall off his chair in the empty coffee shop.

"What about you?" He came back with. He told him Elvis and Rox were the ones to get married.
