Blue shook her head as she rolled her eyes. “You know those jerks entirely too well. But you are right. The assholes have a bet going between the two of them. I’ve already talked to Doc about birth control. I’m not having two babies back-to-back.”

“Ha! Good luck,” Harley teased.

“Don’t jinx me. Please,” Blue begged. “It truly was a surprise. I was barely off birth control, and I didn’t think the timing was right. It appears it was. Stone, Rock, and I wanted to keep it to ourselves a little longer, but we knew we could only keep it under wraps for so long.”

“But you’re feeling okay?”

She nodded. “Rock and Stone don’t allow me to ask for anything. Other than the fact that I am always sleepy now, I can’t complain. No morning sickness. Just sore boobs and can’t get enough sex.”

Harley grimaced. “Okay. Enough with the oversharing.”

Blue chuckled. “So, I guess I can’t expect you to be in the delivery room?”

“There won’t be enough space. Rock and Stone will be there.”

Blue shook her head. “I need you on standby. One of them is going to get queasy or pass out. You saw how they were when I was injured.”

“I can honestly say that I don’t think I will do any better, but if you need me to be there, I will be.”

Blue reached out and squeezed her hand. Several seconds of quiet passed between them. This was the last thing she’d expected to hear from her friend tonight, but she was so happy for her.

“I am so happy for you, Blue,” she whispered.

“Thank you. Now you know what this means, right?”

Harley reached for her beer and rolled her eyes. “Just made it back and already starting shit.”

“Not me,” Blue replied, holding her hands up innocently. “Only stating the obvious. Trigger kept tabs you on the entire time.”

Harley sat up straighter in her chair. That was news to her. “He did?”

“Yep,” Blue nodded as she sipped her water. “Checked on you at least once a day. Put the man out of his misery. The two of you are made for each other.”

Harley shook her head. “Look, I know I gave you a lot of shit about Rock and Stone when they were after you, but that was different.”

“How?” Blue asked.

Harley opened her mouth to respond, but no sound came out, and Blue chuckled.

“Exactly. The man has you at a loss for words. You always have something to say.”

“Kiss my ass,” she grumbled.

“Trigger might have something to say about that,” Blue countered.

Harley sat back in her chair and folded her arms across her chest. “That asshole has a lot to say about everything, and I’m sick of it. He’s trouble and a threat to everything I’ve managed to rebuild.”

Blue’s expression softened, and Harley groaned. “No. Don’t give me that look.”

“If anyone understands your fear, it’s me,” Blue stated softly.

Harley shook her head. “I can’t. While it may only seem like I’m joking when I say that I will shoot Trigger with his own gun, I’m not. If he did something to hurt me, I wouldn’t hesitate to kill him.”

“I know,” Blue agreed. “So does he, but you are forgetting something important. Trigger would never do anything to hurt you, and he’d kill anyone if they tried.”

Harley pressed her lips together to keep from responding. Her friend was right, and there was no use in denying it.
