His best friend and little brother are playing matchmaker. They're scheming to keep Diana away. Joe had people blocking the drive so Diane couldn't come and Buddy is going to answer the phone at home in case Diane calls. Joe told Tate that he's a lucky bastard to have Abby even if he doesn't see it now. Hopefully one day he will. Things are much better with Tate and Abby after the party.

He's cheating ex came back early, the man she was on vacation with had to come back. She was lovey-dovey with Tate and then he told her that he married Abby. Diane said nasty things, talked about all the men that Diane has slept with, they're all better than Tate, trashed Abby,and called the baby a bastard. He came home drunk, Abby helped him to bed. She stayed in her room until the party organized by the community.

At the Grocery store "and they’d loaded it into the truck under the watchful eyes of the cashier. From her expression, Abby had no doubt the girl was itching to spread the news that Tate McCullom had been grocery shopping with the town whore.
She glanced up at his face, wondering if he’d been as embarrassed as she had. Not so much for herself—she was used to it after all, but got him". She's not but ppl assume.

Loving the feels for the good girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Pulls at my heart.
“I guess I’m going to have a baby. I really haven’t had much time to get past that fact yet.” She glanced back up at him. “You don’t have to worry though. I won’t tell anyone it’s yours. Maybe I can move to another town before anyone even finds out.”
