“What’d you do?”
“I ran into the boys shower and Mom had to come in and get me. We saw your ding dongs.”
Caleb’s voice climbed a few octaves. “Let’s stick to the script, dude.”
“What? We did. Mom stared. I saw her.”
I felt my face heat to a thousand degrees and shook my head. As if anyone would hear my denial.
“That’s when we met my favorite devils. Andy, Jack, and you.” The sound of rustling filled the air for a moment and then Jesse’s sweet voice came back. “I love you, Caleb. I hope Mommy lets you come back over.”
“I love you, too, little dude.” Caleb’s voice was suspiciously shaky and there were a few seconds of silence before he spoke again. “Alright, my buddy had to go take care of something. My turn to tell the story.
“The three devils had never met a princess so pretty before. Through a series of private details, the devils and the princess became close. The devils had never cared about anyone before but the princess and her son were different. For a chance at her love, they put aside their pride and greed. They decided to love her together.”
I couldn’t keep up with the tears streaking down my cheeks. I wanted to see the guys desperately. My heart was racing as I pressed my hands over it.
“A dragon existed here, too. A dragon who wanted to hurt the princess. The devils thought that sacrificing themselves to stop the dragon was the only option. They didn’t know that the princess was smarter than them and could slay dragons by herself.” He chuckled quietly. “The princess taught the devils about love and they did what devils do. They were careless.”
It was Lydie’s voice that filled the stadium next. “Hey, sis. This is pretty cool, right? Back to the story. The devils may have messed up but they weren’t quitters. They spent time with the people who love the princess the most, planning a way to bring them all together so the princess could see how much she matters, not just to them, but to a whole mess of people. They wanted her to see that they want her more than anything and that anything they did wrong was because of stupidity and not a lack of care.”
I gasped as the field lit up in front of me and my four guys were standing there. Andrew, Jack, Caleb, and Jesse. Three of them were still in their uniforms, sweaty and nervous. Jesse was wearing a devil costume.
“I added that stupidity part. I mean, seriously? What kind of idiot breaks up with my sister? Have you seen her? She’s stunning. And brilliant.” Lydie trailed off and then cleared her throat. “Oh, yeah. Here we are. The devils are ready to prove their love to the princess. If she’ll just give them a chance.”
More light flooded the field and I saw the entire football team behind the guys, their hands full of roses.
“Everyone can see how much they love you, Liv. Your friends and family, your son, the whole football team, and now this whole stadium of people see that these lovesick fools would do anything for you. Including risking being turned down during halftime in front of everyone.” Lydie sighed dreamily. “If you don’t run into their arms, I’m going to lose my mind. I’m out here, throwing it at anyone who looks my way and I can’t catch a single orgasm, while you’ve got three great men begging you for a chance. And I know they’re giving you great or-”
I’d never been so glad to have someone cut a mic.
I watched the guys all take a knee and pull a single rose out from behind their backs. They were copying the way I’d asked them to be my boyfriends. I sprinted across to them and tried to grab them all at once, but I just ended up tackling them to the ground.
Jesse hovered over us as I peppered kisses all over their faces. I didn’t care that I was crawling all over them in the middle of a football field. I just felt so grateful and I wanted to show them.
“Will you be our girlfriend, sweetheart?” Caleb brushed his hand through my hair and smiled. “Please?”
I nodded. “I’ll be your girlfriend. Since you asked in such a calm and muted way.”
“She said yes!” Jesse ran around us, giving the crowd a thumbs up, and then he jumped on top of my back, all knees and elbows. “I can’t wait until I go to school on Monday. I’m going to tell everyone that I’m going to have three dads now!”
Jack pulled him off me and lifted him onto his shoulders. He met my teary gaze and smiled. “What do you think about that?”
“If it’s what you want, I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever heard and it’s all I’ve ever wanted for Jesse.”
“You’ve got three dads, little dude!” Caleb fist bumped Jesse and lifted me into his arms. “And you’ve got three men who are going to show you how much you mean.”
Andrew grunted. “This is why we’ll have to pop out a few more kids later. I’m just standing here with no one to hold.”
Jesse gasped. “I’m going to have a little brother or sister? This is the best day ever!”
I bit my lip and leaned over so I could kiss Andrew. “You just started something. I’m just going to let you handle it.”
“Andy? Where do babies come from?”
