“We never would have left you there.”Finn brushes the back of my hand with his.
I turn to meet his green eyes.
“We got a flat or we would have been there sooner.”He gives me a flirty smile.
“You weren’t supposed to get yourself captured.”Dante shakes his head.
“I told you they wouldn’t hurt me.They can’t.Not if they don’t want my father’s wrath.”Finn smirks.“Sometimes my dad is a handy problem to have.”
“I don’t know much about your families.”I admit even though we’ve known each other all our lives.Tom might have gotten to know their parents, but most of the time the guys hung out at our house.
Finn draws me over to a garden that’s surprisingly well maintained.He sits on a bench and the others sit on other benches around us in a circle.
“My father isn’t someone to be messed with.Peter is a big deal, but my father is bigger.He knows what all the Peters of his world are doing and is capable of taking them out if they get too greedy.”Finn blows out a breath and I reach for his hand.He tangles our fingers together and rests our hands on his thigh.
“You told them I’m pregnant?”I ask softly.
Wyatt straightens and I find his dark eyes narrowed on me.
“I’m not.”I laugh.“We need to figure out us before we add anyone else into the equation.”
Wyatt’s eyes darken.“I like the idea of you swelling with my child.”
Oof, if that isn’t a gut punch to the ovaries, I don’t know what is.It’s not something I’ve given much thought to.“Wait, do you guys want kids?”
“Do you, princess?”Drew leans back with his legs kicked out and his arms across the back of the bench.
“I—” I stop myself.Fuck.“The easy answer is yes.Eventually.I want to get my career going and be in a stable relationship before taking that step.But do I want a child with the man I love?”
My gaze meets each of theirs.Fuck, babies with their eyes.Little mischievous boys and smart little girls.
“I mean, if this continues, would you be okay with me having someone else’s baby?”My gaze seeks out Wyatt’s.He’s the most possessive of them.Would that extend to my children or only the children that are his too?
Wyatt chuckles and touches his lips with his fingertips.“I would be okay with you having our baby.”
“Our?”My heart falls a little.
“Our as inall of ourbaby.Any child that comes from your body would be mine, trouble.”
My heart warms.“Do you all feel that way?”
“As much as I long to see you filled up with my child—” Finn brings my hand to his lips and presses a kiss to it.“I’d worry that my father would only see his next heir.”
I swallow.“And that’s a bad thing?”
“Not necessarily.”Finn smirks.“It’d be the most guarded baby in the city, but we’d have to make sure he didn’t try to influence our child.”
That feels icky but I understand.“Do you think he’s heard that you said I’m pregnant?”
Finn sighs.“Yeah, I don’t have any doubts.I did it to protect both of us, but mostly to protect you.I couldn’t let Peter hurt you to get Tom and Natasha back.”
I can understand that and it makes sense.But then there’s this new thing between us all.I wasn’t sure I could let them go if we just fucked until we got Tom back.Now, I know I can’t let them go.I love them.All of them.
“Do you honestly think this can work?I mean you guys have been friends for years, but Drew…”
“I’m new and different and don’t quite fit the status quo.”Drew leans forward with his elbows on his knees, clasping his hands between them.“I might like to shake things up every now and then, but I know a good thing when I see it.And this is a good thing.I don’t want to blow this up.”
“You’re still holding something back,” Wyatt says.
