Leaning into him a little more, we reached the ground floor and were met by several familiar faces.
“Aww, you didn’t have to see us out, everyone,” I said, taking in each precious face. Seeing my niece and nephew in Kolton’s arms, I hurried forward to pepper them with kisses—even though I’d done so less than an hour ago.
I hugged Kolton next, and he murmured against my hair, “We don’t want to take a single moment for granted.”
I knew exactly how he felt and hugged him a little longer—just in case. I turned to Nora next, snorting when our bellies bumped. “Yep, it’s official. We’re definitely blowing up like balloons.”
She laughed and pulled back to inspect both our stomachs. “I still say you’re farther along. I’m just showing faster because my body’s already done this twice.”
I side-eyed my brother, muttering, “You really need to put your sperm on ice after this. Three babies in one year is a lot.”
Griff loudly guffawed and pulled me back against him. “Who’s to saywewon’t have three kids in a year, babe? Now that I have a knot—”
“Not again,” Jagger groaned from behind us.
“What kind of knot?” Melanie piped up.
“More grandbabies?” my mother excitedly said at the same time.
Laughing, I hurried to hug the rest of my family and proclaimed, “If these males have their way, this entire house will be filled to the brim with babies.”
As I finished hugging my mom, I sneaked a glance at Jagger. He practically lookedgreen. Sable chortled, more than happy to observe the growing drama now that our own had been sorted out.
Mark my words. Those two. Epic fireworks. It’s only a matter of time.
Smiling at her remark, I rejoined Griff, content when he slid an arm around my waist and pulled me close. As we opened the front door to depart, Kolton said, “Keep her safe, brother. Keep them both safe.”
Griff turned to his best friend and gripped his shoulder, pulling me a little closer as he replied, “I will, brother.”
And he would. He’d doanythingto keep his mate and unborn baby safe. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that he’d always, always be there for us.
No matter what.
The End
