I give him a smile, though I know it looks nervous. “Can you get Walker and Eli? I have something to tell you guys.”

His face grows serious. “What’s wrong?”

I pick up the cookie sheet before he can see it. “Just go get them. I want to talk to you guys all together.”

“Walk! Eli!” Knox barks. “Bakery kitchen! Now! Something’s wrong!”

I groan. “Knox, nothing’s?—”

Thunderous footsteps sound down the hallway before my Alphas crash into my kitchen. Walker looks like he’s already on a rampage, his nostrils flaring and his fists bunched up. Eli wipes the sweat from his forehead, no doubt still running behind Amber, and his eyes look wild as he finds me.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” Eli pants.

Walker snarls. “Tell us what it is so we can fix it, Omega.”

“Is everything okay?” Amber asks, breathless. Pickles barks at her side. “Why’s everyone running?”

“Something’s wrong,” Walker says.

“Wait, what?” Amber asks.

I shoot a look at Knox. “Nothing’s wrong. Knox is blowing things out of proportion.”

Eli reaches out and playfully smacks Knox in the back of his head. “Idiot. We thought something was wrong.”

“I think something is. She’s not telling me the whole story,” Knox says, keeping his gaze trained on me.

“What’s wrong?” Amber asks.

I just shake my head and sigh before I place the cookie sheet back down onto the kitchen island. I slide it toward them, and I watch as my three Alphas gather around it.

“What is it?” Amber asks as she tries to get in on the action. “What’s going on?”

“What?” Eli asks, his gaze whipping up to mine.

Knox stares down at the cookie sheet with his mouth hanging open. Walker’s hands ease out of their fists before he runs them through his hair.

I swallow hard. “Surprise?”

Amber finally shoves her way in between Knox and her father while Pickles pacing the length of the hallway just outside the kitchen door. Amber looks down at the cookie sheet, her head tilted to the side.

Knox finally speaks. “Oh my god.”

Amber squeals.

Pickles comes racing into the kitchen at the sound of her squeal, but it isn’t long before his attention is turned toward me. He tilts his head while Walker stares me down.

“I’m gonna be a big sister, Daddy!” Amber exclaims.

“Oh my god!” Knox says, louder this time. “You’re pregnant!”

His words send all of them rushing toward me. Knox picks me clear up off my feet, swinging me around while he peppers my face with kisses. He passes me off to Eli, who cradles me close and envelops my lips in a kiss, stealing my breath away. Walker wrangles me next, burying his face into the top of my head.

“I love you so fucking much, my Omega,” he mumbles.

Tears crest my eyes as I purr for him. “I love you too, my Alpha.”

Knox grips my hair and turns my attention to him. He kisses the tear trails off my cheeks. “I love you, Lia.”
