“I’m sure we can make an exception,” Cam teased.
They quieted down as Dylan’s twin assisted Erin out of the sleigh at the end of the makeshift aisle. The guests stood as she made her way on Dayne’s arm to her waiting lovers.Their slow stroll was accompanied by string musicians playingBeautiful In White.
Hope swiped at the sting in her eyes. She really could picture herself in Erin’s place, wearing a gorgeous dress and committing herself forever to the men she loved.
Once the ceremony was over, the happy trio headed hand-in-hand back down the aisle to the waiting sleigh while the guests began to head over to the event hall for the reception.
The biggest issue with sitting outside on Christmas Eve was the cold temperature. Luckily, the hall had heat so they could all shed their blankets, gloves, and winter coats to show off their fancy outfits while they celebrated.
She couldn’t wait to get a glimpse of her men in their tuxes again. When she got a good look this morning before they had headed out, she’d lost her breath with how handsome and debonair they both looked.
It once again reminded her of how happy and lucky she was.
Nolan stood, put her blanket aside, and offered a hand to help her stand. Once she was on her feet, she realized Cam remained in his seat, not moving.
“What’s wrong?” Her eyebrows knitted together. “Do we need to use a blow torch to unfreeze your ass from the chair?”
Wearing a serious expression, he shook his head. When he stood, he faced her and Nolan. “I know it’s too early for us to consider having children, but...”
“But you really want some,” Hope finished for him.
“At least one,” he confirmed.
“Or two.” Nolan dropped his arm over her shoulders and bumped his hip into hers. “If you don’t want any, that’s fine, too. We’ll leave that decision up to you.”
“Well, that’s good,” shesaid dryly.
Nolan barked out a laugh. “I’m glad you’re onboard.”
“Well, it’s not like I have a choice at this point.”
Cam frowned. “What does that mean?”
With his brow furrowed, Nolan moved to stand next to him and stare at her.
She smiled.
And waited.
And waited some more.
She swore their mouths dropped open at the same time when it hit them.
Before they could say a word, she said, “I’m glad you two moved into my place.” While the Double D was beautiful, it wasn’t a place to raise a child.
“Holy shit,” Cam whispered.
“What? How?” Nolan shook his head and grimaced. “Not how, buthow?”
“Apparently, we didn’t wait long enough for the birth control pills to kick in once we stopped using condoms. I know this wasn’t planned but—” The corner of her lips tipped up and she shrugged. “Merry Christmas?”
Nolan grabbed her by the waist, lifted her off the ground, and swung her in a circle with a loud whoop, almost taking out the nearby chairs. “Damn right this is a merry Christmas! I’m going to be a dad!” He gently set her back on her feet. “I mean,we’regoing to be a dad.” He shook his head. “Dads! Whatever! Best Christmas ever!”
“Remember you said that when you’re dealing with dirty diapers next Christmas,” Hope warned him.
Nolan shot Cam a glance. “Good thing Cam’s already an expert with them.”
“Oh, hell no,” Cam said with a fake scowl. “Don’t think you’re off the hook.” His expressionsmoothed out and he pulled both Nolan and Hope into his arms, squeezing them tight. “I guess we have something else to celebrate tonight.”
