Kane nods. “We couldn’t do this without talking to him first.”
The tears start rolling down my cheeks. Kane clicks around on his phone, then holds the screen out to me. Cole’s name is at the top of the screen as the video call tries to connect.
Mav’s face comes into view, and I start crying even more. The smile he had falls. “Mom, what’s wrong?” He looks confused. “Did you say no? I thought you’d say yes.”
I shake my head, trying to rein in my emotions. “These are happy tears, bud.” I pull in a deep breath. “I said yes.”
His smile grows until it takes over his whole face. “Really?”
I nod, swiping the moisture from my face. “Really. Are you sure you’re okay with this?”
“Of course I am,” he says. He turns the camera a little to the left. He’s sitting on the couch in Cole’s living room, and he slings his arm over Oliver’s shoulders. “We’re both happy about it.”
Oliver doesn’t say anything, but he nods and smiles. My heart squeezes in my chest.
“Hey, Oliver,” I say, feeling more moisture pooling in my eyes that I fight to keep at bay.
“Hey,” he says quietly.
Mav beams at his friend, who I guess is going to be his brother. I think they knew they were going to be a special part of each other’s lives before any of us adults figured it out.
“Are we going to be a family?” Mav asks.
My eyes dart to all three of my guys, who are staring at me. I motion for them to come gather around. Wyatt grabs the phone from my hands so he can hold it far enough away for all of us to be in the frame.
“Yeah, we’re going to be a family,” I say. Kane leans down, kissing my forehead.
Mav thrusts his fist in the air, letting out a yelp. Both boys fall into a fit of giggles.
Cole steps in behind the couch, grabbing the phone from Mav’s shaking hand. Cole’s face takes up the screen as he shakes his head.
His eyes soften as they connect with mine. “I’m happy for you, Abs.”
“Thanks,” I breathe out, trying not to cry yet again.
“We’ll take care of these two goofballs. You enjoy the rest of your special day,” he says with a wink.
“Thanks, Cole. I love you.”
“Love you, too,” he says before the screen goes black.
I hand the phone back to Kane. “Thank you,” I say to all of them.
“We love him, too,” Linc says, and my heart feels like it’s going to explode out of my chest.
I blink a few times. Needing a break from the heavy emotions, I smile up at them. “So… tattoos?”
CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
Wyatt
“We thought this seemed fitting,”Kane says.
A huge smile spreads across our girl’s face, and I know we made the right choice. I fully intend to give her piece after piece of beautiful jewelry, but for this, something permanently etched on her skin feels right.
“It’s perfect,” she says.
“We can all get them down the line when we get married,” Linc says, pointing to the three of us guys.
