I squeezed his hip, and he slowly started moving, the sensation of his dick rubbing against mine inside her while she moaned had us all quickly losing control. Our hips moved in a messy, uncoordinated rhythm as we each chased on our own orgasms.

“Fuck, I’m coming,” Kayden said on a roar as Olivia toppled over the edge right after him. The sight of them both in bliss, eyes closed, and lips parted made me move my hips faster until my balls tightened and I groaned through my release, dropping my head on Liv’s shoulder.

“Best wedding present ever,” Kayden said, resting his head against us.

Olivia chuckled. “I’m going to be such a good wife.”

“The best,” I agreed. “There is no way I will ever let anyone convince us that the love we share is wrong. What we have is beautiful.”

Olivia kissed my cheek and Kayden grabbed my hand. “I couldn’t agree more,” Olivia said.

“Me either,” Kayden agreed. We slowly pulled out of her and kissed our way to the shower before climbing back into bed naked. We lay there, tangled up in one another in the dark. It was still early, and I couldn’t fall asleep, despite my body being tired. After a few minutes of silence, I looked over at them. Kayden lay next to me on his back with his eyes still open, and Liv was curled into him with her head on his chest.

“Do you want to go get our daughter and bring her home for the night?” I asked.

They both lifted their heads instantly like I’d read their minds. “Yes,” they said.

I tossed the covers off and we all pulled on sweatpants and T-shirts, rushing to get the last member of our family who truly made us complete.

Five Months Later

I sat in thewaiting room of the birthing pavilion holding Kayden’s hand and looking around at our family—we were certainly taking up a lot of space for the birth of this child—when Olivia walked in with Elena, Sophia’s petite, black-and-purple-haired sister, both of whom were carrying takeout trays of coffee from Ackerson’s.

“I get why Sophia loves this coffee so much,” Elena said, setting her trays down on a table next to my moms as everyone crowed them. She grabbed a half-empty iced coffee and took a long sip. “It’sreallygood.”

“You better stop right there, Elena,” Kennedy, Sophia’s stepmom, said as she approached with Sophia’s father, Danny. “If you say it’s better than mine, you can finish college in Boston like your sister.”

Kennedy owned three cafés in Oahu, and I’d learned years ago it was better not to compare her coffee to anything. Her husband smiled at her with amusement before giving her a kiss.

“No,” Laura, Sophia’s mom, said. “My other daughter will not be leaving Hawaii to live in Boston with her sister. Your ego will have to adjust.” Even after all this time it was startling how much looking at Laura was like looking at a future version of Sophia.

Laura’s husband Dave approached. He grabbed two coffees and handed one to his wife. “Blondie’s got no clout with Elena; she doesn’t even listen to us and we’re her parents.”

Danny chuckled as Kennedy’s jaw dropped in mock outrage. “He’s not wrong, babe,” he said.

Kayden leaned closer to me as Olivia picked up coffees for us and walked over. “How long did it take you to memorize all of their names?”

“Baby, you remember everything,” I said.

“The social anxiety of this environment is making my memory far less reliable,” he said with a shudder.

I laughed. “They were here for a week when Leo and Soph graduated. Then we all went to Oahu for more than a week when they got married, so that did it. No one expects you to get it today. Just be grateful her twin brothers aren’t here. They areidentical—like, impossible to tell apart.”

Sophia’s little brothers were thirteen and had stayed in Hawaii with their aunt and uncle, along with her youngest sister, Izzy, since the last thing we needed was five more people in this waiting room. After Sophia was home with the new baby, they were all planning to fly in for a few weeks to visit.

“Thanks, beautiful,” Kayden said, taking a coffee from Olivia as she perched herself on his lap.

“Is he still stressing about all their names?” she asked me, nibbling on the straw of her iced coffee.

“And familial roles,” Kayden said with a groan. “Apparently there are more coming.”

Olivia laughed. “You’ll be okay, sexy.” She’d met all of Sophia’s family during their previous visits since they all enjoyed eating at Harrison’s when they visited Boston. Now that she was my wife she was getting to know them in a different context, but she had their names down.

Mom passed Adrian and Sutton each a coffee from her seat on Ima’s lap while Elena settled in next to Kaylee and asked her what she was reading.
