Bowie: Us or your sons?

Lane: Why. all of you. You are all my boys.

Wilder: Me and Lennon, too?

Bowie: You say the nicest things. I love my forever family.

Frey: Stop now before I start crying.

Hollis: Yes…

Chapter Thirty-Three

Kodi

Pregnant.

Kodi was in shock and very happy to be in his shifted form so no one could ask him questions, because he wasn’t sure he could get his voice to work. Shell-shocked. It fit when he continued to feel the ripples of the shock running through him.

He could not have dreamed this up. Whatever panic he had about Lennon leaving or being ill, which was where his head had gone when he noticed where they were, none of it matched this. He didn’t know how to be a parent. Fuck, would Lennon want him being in the child’s life with how reactive he was?

Stop being silly, of course he will.

He’s been distant—

And now you know why.

What did you say? Now I know… are you saying you knew all along he was pregnant, and you never said anything?

See, overreaching and screeching like that is why I didn’t mention it.

I… I… I have no words. No, actually I have plenty. You could have stopped me worrying—

I told you there was nothing seriously wrong with Lennon. We also have the house completion coming up. It couldn’t have worked more perfectly.

You… you pushed me because YOU KNEW!

There’s no need to shout.

There’s every need. And you’re forgetting something, if you weren’t worried, then why the damn dramatic shift? The second it ran through his head, he had the answer. You figured it was a visit to find out about the baby, didn’t you?

If I was a betting wolf, I’d have laid odds on it being this, yes.

It sounded so damn smug, Kodi felt his blood pressure escalate. You’re an asshole.

His animal didn’t pay any attention. The damn thing pranced next to a ghostly white Lennon as they exited the building. Lennon clutched several bottles in his hands.

“You better look after him, or else, you hear me?” Jonny demanded when they stopped at the side of a large SUV.

“I’m more than capable of looking after myself,” Lennon declared in a voice barely more than a whisper that definitely suggested otherwise.

His wolf nodded its large head and laid it against Lennon’s arm.
