Tisi curled up in Evander’s lap as if he belonged there.
Corbin began to chuckle, because one, he was lucky, and two, for the first time in forever, he felt like they were all together, that they had somehow formed a family— all of them, eight adults, four babies.
Four babies that are soon to be seven,Cullen pointed out.At least.
His eyes went wide.Another set of triplets. That would be wild.
Cullen nodded and blew bubbles for Isabelle to chase.Right. Then it would be Cosmo’s turn, and the rest of us can just go back to singles.
I didn’t agree to that.Cosmo shook his head at them.I didn’t agree to that at all.
Hawk looked at Cosmo, waggling his eyebrows, and Cosmo shook his finger at Hawk. “I don’t think so.”
Orion hooted. “You don’t know; never say never.”
“I’m the one who sucked at being pregnant. It’s not good to have visions while you’re having a baby.” Cosmo flapped a hand in the air. “Leave me out of it.”
Elliot glanced up away from the TV, scowling. “Love sisser. Love all babies, Papa.”
“I know you do, my earth angel.” Cosmo stroked Elliot’s little grassy, sort of mossy hair. “And I would love to give you another brother or sister, but not yet. I’m still feeling like you two need to grow up just a tiny bit.”
“Sos we can help?”
“Exactly, although you help an awful lot already with everything.”
Hawk rumbled deep in his chest. “You’re my perfect boy, Elliot. We couldn’t ask for better.”
Elliot just beamed. “When I grow up, I’m going to be a daddy.”
“Are you?” Corbin smiled at his nephew. “Are you going to go out into the human world to find a mate?”
Elliot looked at him as if he were crazy. “No.”
“No?” Hawk tilted his head. “Are you sure?”
That had Elliot nodding his head. “I’s sure.”
“So, who’s going to be your mate, little boy?” Cosmo asked, and Elliot smiled, his look absolutely one-hundred percent sure.
“Stella.”
They all stared at him, eyes wide. Corbin felt that click into place, like pieces of a puzzle, and he couldn’t believe it. It made so much damn sense. Elliot and Stella were forces of nature, little changeling babies who were nothing like anyone else in anybody’s family. Of course they would be together.
Cosmo’s eyes began to glow softly, and Hawk nudged him, just a little too hard.
“Not now,” he murmured.
Is that going to work? Just telling him?Cullen asked, and Corbin shrugged.
We can hope. But can’t you see it? Little flying rocks everywhere. Adorable.
Cullen nodded.It would be like a video game.
He’s the most dragony of all of us.
And Stella is the least dragony of all of them. It’s perfect.
Stella?Evander asked. And Corbin chuckled.
