She let out a soft sob.
“Hey, it’s OK. You won’t hurt my feelings. I promise. I love babies. This won’t change how I feel. I still want to be here?—”
“Cole,” she broke in. “I-I haven’t been with the guys since-since you. I-I was with Ani and you. That’s it.”
I blinked at her words, my heart pounding.
“What? Really?”
She nodded, tears on her cheeks. “Really.”
“I-I might be having another baby?”
She nodded again. “I-I’m sorry. You took me, and I was due for my shot. But then the guys and I decided we did want to try for another baby. Then… you happened.”
“I might be having another baby?” I repeated.
“Yes, Cole. You or Ani. I’m so sorry?—”
“Sorry? Rosalie, this is the best fucking thing I’ve heard since you told me I had Ellis. Fuck. Where are the tests? Let’s take them.”
“Really?” She looked at me.
I reached out and wiped away her tears. “Yes, really. Take the test.”
“We don’t know if this is even going to work out?—”
“I am not going anywhere. I thought you knew that by now,” I said. “Please. Take the test. We all deserve to know. I swear to you I’ll be at your side the entire time. You know I’m a doctor, right? I finished my OBGYN rotation last round. Fuck. I’m so ready for this.”
She squeezed my hand. “OK. I’ll take the test. P-Please call the guys and tell them.”
I wasted no time pulling Anson’s number up onto my screen.
Cole: Come here. Bring the guys. It’s important.
Moments later, I heard the guys enter the bedroom.
“What’s wrong?” Evan immediately stepped around me and went to Rosalie. “Baby, what’s wrong?”
“I-I’m going to take-take the test.”
“OK.” He kissed her temple. Apparently, they all knew she might be pregnant, and this wasn’t a shocker to them.
I looked over to see that Anson was already pulling out boxes of tests. I noted his hands shaking. It could be his baby. It could be mine.
I swallowed.
I’d still love the shit out of it, even if it was Ass Hat’s kid.
“Come, my love,” Klaus murmured, helping her to her feet. I watched as he cradled her face. I’d seen him kiss her five years ago in the club before I fought with him.
Then, I thought he was only after some top-shelf pussy, but seeing him with her now, I could tell it was so much more than that.
“Remember what we talked about,” he continued softly.
She nodded, and he leaned in and kissed away her tears.
“We’ll wait in the bedroom, OK?”
