I might’ve never wanted kids before this, but I’m sure as hell glad I ended up with this little one.
When we’re done, I stay behind to talk to the doctor while the guys gush over the photos that were printed.
“How are you? Last time I saw you, you were freaking out. Now, you’re here with two new men. Alphas. You don’t like Alphas.” Her lips twitch.
“I’m okay. It was rough for the first few days, but everything is getting better. Emmett is excited, and now, so am I. And well, as you can see, we gained two new pack members. Not expecting that at all, but we’re not mad about it. They’re good men.”
“I’m glad.” She smiles softly. “You deserve this, Lexi. Let yourself enjoy it.”
“I know.” I don’t, but I want to believe it.
“We’ll see you soon. Make sure to get your prenatal vitamins, okay?”
“I will. Thank you.”
“Are we good to come over?” Aiden asks as we walk out to the parking lot. “If you want some space, we can meet up another time.”
“We want you over.” I smile
“You sure?” Aiden looks between the two of us.
“You’re starting to make me feel like you don’t wanna come,” Emmett chuckles.
“We do,” Sloane says.
“I say movie night, pizza, and cuddles?” I ask, chewing on my lower lip.
“Sounds like a perfect night to me,” Emmett says. “Maybe a little Mario Kart?”
“Fuck yes,” Sloane says. “You’re all gonna eat my dust,” he cheers. “Respectfully, of course.” He grins.
Emmett and I head home in his truck while the guys follow in theirs.
“Can I get some help bringing all this in?” Sloane asks when we get to my place.
“What did you buy?” I ask, trying to get a peek.
“Everything,” Aiden mutters. “That's why we were late. This crazy fucker bought every gender netural thing in the store.”
“What?” My eyes widen just as Sloane pulls bag after bag out of the back seat.
“It’s not nearly enough. I say we go into town to get more. We need a lot! Stroller. Crib. Bassinet.”
“I’m ten weeks,” I laugh. “We have lots of time,” I argue, but deep down I’m swooning. I can’t believe Sloane did this.
“It’s not nearly enough.” Sloane carries some bags inside. “I was going to get you this big pink fluffy blanket, but the lady wouldn’t let me buy it,” he mutters.
“Sloane, it wasn’t for sale. You tried to take it from the woman's cart, after she had already paid for it!” Aiden scolds him, but I can see he’s trying to hold back his amusement.
“It was the last one,” Sloane growls. “It should have gone to my girl. I tried pulling the whole ‘my Omega owns this town’ card, but she looked like she was going to call the cops. Aiden pulled me out of there before I could grab the blanket.”
“Oh my god.” Emmett bursts into laughter. “You did not.”
“Unfortunately, he did,” Aiden sighs.
“As soon as you tell the world about us, they’re going to be sorry.” Sloane frowns. “Then who's gonna look like the idiot?"
“You’re acting like I’m the Queen or something. Stop!” I reply, still laughing.
