“I couldn’t give two fucks about that. As long as you’re healthy, I’ll take care of the hormones.”

I bite my lower lip. “You will?”

“Oh, I fucking will.” He carries me in his arms bridal style and I squeal, then laugh as he takes me to the car.

Cole doesn’t wait until we get home.

The Men’s Group Chat

Ronan: Emergency.

Ronan: I said, emergency, fuckers.

Cole: Now what? You put juice in your kid’s milk again?

Xander: Or you messed up Teal’s workspace and she’s coming after your arse with an axe?

Aiden: Remi needs to get older so he can film that shit and send it over.

Ronan: Premièrement, my Remi would never betray me. Deuxièmenent, fuck you all. Finalement, it’s none of your previous nonsense. I don’t know what to get Teal for our anniversary. I took her everywhere and she doesn’t like material shit. Give me inspiration.

Xander: Last anniversary, I bought Green a piece of land on which she can build a new children’s centre. Best decision ever. And best sex ever that night.

Ronan: Teal has no use for a piece of land. Dammit.

Aiden: Buy her jewellery. Something she can have on all the time.

Ronan: She doesn’t like jewellery. How about you, Cole? What did you get Silver on your last anniversary?

Cole: Pretty sure a baby.

Xander: *laughing out loud emoji*

Aiden: Are you knocking her up for sport, Nash?

Cole: You of all people should shut the fuck up, King.

Aiden: She was my fiancée first.

Cole: Just like Ron was Elsa’s fiancé first and Xan was her boyfriend.

Xander: #Burn.

Ronan: Hey, fuckers. Me. Pay attention to me. I’m the one who called this up. Where’s Levi anyway?

Levi: Over here. Don’t care.

Xander: Have you thought about asking Knox? He should know what his sister would want.

Ronan: Jackpot! You’re promoted to being my best friend, Xan. I’ll hang the award in your office tomorrow.

Xander: No thanks.

One day later…

Cole: How did it go, Ron?
