Chapter Nine
That weekend Mitch’s father arranged for all of their families to be around in one place. They travelled down the country roads to their old neighbourhood. Chase was driving, and Mitch sat in front with him. Mitch had wanted to sit in the back with her, but Leah refused. She sat staring out of the window. There were no massive changes to her body yet other than having sensitive nipples. Chase and Mitch loved sucking on her nipples, and she put part of her sensitivity down to their constant attention.
“How are you feeling?” Mitch asked, breaking into her thoughts.
“I’m nervous and scared.” She ran her sweaty palms down her dress wishing she was going somewhere else.
“Dad has promised to keep them all at bay. He knows about your condition.” Mitch reached over and tapped her hand. “Everything will be fine.”
She nodded her head even as she didn’t think it would be. Loving two men was not heard of. She’d never heard of it herself, but she felt it with both her men. Chase and Mitch were her men. When she’d spoken to her mother, Leah had wanted to tell her the truth. The words burnt on her tongue, and like so many other times she kept them to herself.
Her mother knew she loved both men. What would she think knowing she was never going to make a choice between Chase and Mitch?
Tears filled her eyes as once again indecision filled her. This was another change. Her hormones were all over the place. The vomiting in the morning was still awful. Mitch and Chase were always with her, holding and comforting her at every turn. Without them she wouldn’t have the first clue what to do.
“Please don’t worry, Leah. No matter what happens Mitch and I will never leave your side. They either accept us as we are, or we all walk,” Chase said. He stared at her in the rear-view mirror.
She smiled. “I’m fine, guys.”
“No, you’re not,” they both said.
Leah glared at them. She’d never been able to win at poker against these two either.
“Look, I’m terrified. They can easily call me a slut, a whore, and all types of other despicable things. It’s not every day that a woman falls for two men.”
“They’ll have us to deal with, Leah. You’re not alone. We both love you, and we’d rather you not choose between us,” Mitch said.
“I never could choose, Mitch. I love you both. Life without either of you is unbearable.”
They both nodded in agreement.
When Chase pulled into Mitch’s parents’ driveway her nerves consumed her. She had a bitter taste on her tongue, and her stomach felt like it wanted to throw up her breakfast.
Mitch climbed out of the car. Both men opened her door helping her out. She wanted to walk through the door without them fussing. “Give me some air, please,” she asked.
She saw spots in front of her vision. Chase and Mitch took a step back, giving her space and air.
“We don’t have to do this today,” Chase said. “We can go home and deal with this another day.”
She shook her head. “We need to do this now. Otherwise I’ll never face it.”
Mitch chuckled. “We could phone them from the hospital when you’re in labour. They’ll never argue with us then.”
Leah smiled even as her stomach turned over. She had an appointment with the doctor in the coming week. “It would be funny to see how they handled that.”
“Come on, Leah. We can handle this.” Chase took her hand kissing her knuckles. “We’re together, and nothing else matters.”
She nodded her head. He let her hand go, and they made their way to the front door. Mitch knocked on the door. His father answered several seconds later. His father was a big, burly man. Leah loved him and saw him as an uncle.
He hugged Mitch, shook Chase’s hand, and then pulled her into a hug. “Are you all right?” he asked, staring down at her.
“Yes. I’m nervous.”
“Don’t worry. If anything goes wrong I’ll take care of it.”
Leah didn’t feel relieved. They were all friends, and their parents were, too.
“Are they here?” Chase asked.
