"Never."

Here goes nothing."I'm pregnant." I blurted out.

He stilled against me and for a moment, I thought that I had been right, that this would ruineverything. "Wait, seriously? Shit, I'm going to be a dad?"Wait… what?

Benji bounded over, shaking his head, small droplets flying over the both of us. He found a seat on my side, pulling me in so he could kiss my cheek. "We playing with new kinks now?Daddy? Wouldn’t have taken you for-"

"Nah, Lee's pregnant." Mason stuck out his chest as if the news were the best thing he had heard all day.

Benji’s silly grin widened, his entire face brightening in a way I didn’t know the Russian’s lips could move. "Fucking hell. Our child?" Mason and Benji shared a high five before Angelo appeared, hovering over us. He was still a little red-faced from all the yelling but it was like the moment I needed comfort or extra attention, all three of them were there.

"How do you know it's yours? Could be mine." Angelo found a space across from Benji on my other side.When had he even started listening?

"Youwish." Mason and Benji said at the same time before all three burst out laughing. This wasn’t the reaction I had been expecting and now I was just thoroughly confused. Mason grabbed me and kissed me soundly until I was moaning against his lips, effectively clearing all the negative thoughts from my head. "Did you think we were going to drop you if you told us? Baby girl, we're in this for life. We told you that six months ago. We told you that when we hoped you could love us. And now you're bringing our child into the world? Fucking heaven."

Benji took his turn, kissing me thoroughly until I was a puddle in his arms. Angelo followed next, taking his time to memorize my lips in the sweet way he always did. I shouldn’t have worried that these men –mymen – wouldn’t have wanted to be here every step of the way.

Angelo placed another soft kiss on my lips, his arms tightening around me as he pulled me into his lap. "I hate that you were worrying about this, babe."

Benji broke the tension by chiming in again, "We all know it's my kid.” Mason jokingly punched him as Benji added, “You're going to be fucking gorgeous all swollen." I blushed bright red, hiding my face in Angelo’s bare chest. I could feel their heated gazes on me, imagining my figure in nine months. A groan slipped through my lips at the beached whale I would have to pull off with these fucking gorgeous men surrounding me.

The next groan that escaped from me had nothing to do with embarrassment but desire as I felt Angelo’s interest grow against my ass. He stuffed his face into my neck, placing tender kisses along my collarbone, “Sex won’t hurt the baby right? Because, god, if I have to get off in the shower for nine months-”

This time, I burst out laughing. “God, I love you all so fucking much.” The way they shifted around me told me I didn’t say it nearly as much as I should, even if theyknewhow I felt. So, I said it again, beaming up at them. “Mason, Angelo, and Benji, I love you so much. I love the life we’ve built, the future we’re starting, the baby we’ll bring into this world even as terrifying as that notion is. I’m not sure where I would have been if I hadn’t stayed but I’m glad I did.”

They all murmured their own versions of ‘I love you’s, complete with kisses and tugging me from one lap to another until I was dizzy with need, unable to fulfill my desires out here on the beach.
