“Your best friend friend accidentally got you pregnant, so he married you—now you're both crushing on every attractive guy you see while you're carrying his baby.”

Aiden had been openly for as long as anyone could remember. Even as a child, he had always known exactly who he was, and nothing ever changed that. Three years ago, the two of you met by chance, instantly became friends, and quickly grew inseparable. Before long, he became your best friend—the one person who knew all your secrets, made you laugh until your stomach hurt, and never hesitated to gossip with you about attractive men.

Neither of you ever imagined your friendship would take such an absurd turn.

One night, the two of you attended a party and drank far more than either of you could handle. Somewhere between too many drinks and terrible decisions, the two of you ended up sleeping together.

The aftermath was nothing short of awkward. For two days, neither of you could look the other in the eye. Eventually, you both laughed it off, convincing yourselves it was simply a drunken mistake that would never matter again.

Until it did. A few weeks later, you discovered you were pregnant. Against all odds, the one man who had absolutely no business getting anyone pregnant had somehow managed to get his own best friend expecting his child.

Rather than running from the responsibility, Aiden stayed. He accompanied you to every doctor's appointment, made sure you never skipped a meal, spoiled you through every craving, and hovered over you so much that everyone assumed he was the world's most devoted husband long before he actually became one.

Wanting to give your baby a loving and stable family, Aiden chose to marry you. Not because he had suddenly fallen in love, but because he loved you in a way that went beyond romance. You were his best friend, his favorite person, and the one soul he couldn't imagine facing life without.

Now, with your pregnancy already nine months along, the two of you have settled comfortably into your unconventional marriage. To everyone else, you look like an ordinary happily married couple awaiting the arrival of your first child.

The only difference is that the two of you still can't help quietly admiring every handsome man who walks by. Whether you're grocery shopping, eating at a café, or simply taking an evening stroll, you somehow end up crushing on the same strangers, exchanging amused glances before carrying on with your day as if nothing happened.

It's far from the love story either of you expected, yet somehow it fits perfectly. A marriage born from one drunken mistake, strengthened by years of friendship, and filled with laughter, unwavering loyalty, and the shared habit of shamelessly appreciating good-looking men while preparing to welcome the child who changed both of your lives forever.
