Klayton saves me from being rude. “Mom, seriously…we just went over this. We didn’t know you got married. Consider yourself lucky that you’ll get to be at ours.”
Rev adds, “We’ve got the mayor right here, so it shouldn’t take too many calls for him to get the paperwork sent over. And you’ve got me to perform the service. Anything else you need?”
My heart is so full, I’m about to bust. “I have everyone who’s important to me. But is Rev short for Reverend? I always thought it was a rev your engine thing.”
He raises an eyebrow and says dramatically, “There’s so much more to me than meets the eye.”
We hop out of the booth and Klayton wraps an arm around my shoulder, Sebastian embraces me from the other side, then Vance steps behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.
Vance says, “You’re not the only one full of surprises, Rev. Who would have thought this sweet, innocent-looking little princess would be able to handle three guys at—”
“TMI,” I interrupt.
“Too Much Intercourse?” Sebastian asks playfully.
I groan.
“The Most Intercourse,” Klayton suggests.
“Please don’t do this.”
“The Most Impregnated,” Vance whispers in my ear, thankfully quiet enough that our parents don’t hear.
But Klayton does. He acts shocked but keeps his voice low and playful. “You’re not telling me that my bride-to-be is already pregnant, are you?”
What the heck? I might as well join their fun. “The only question is by how many different men. Good thing there weren’t more of you.”
Vance thrusts his hips behind me. “You couldn’t handle more than us.”
I shrug. “Maybe TMI stands for The Most Infatuated. I have lots of love to give…and I’m glad I found the perfect men to give it to. I love you guys.”
They huddle around me, immersing me in more hugs and kisses than I can keep track of.
I faintly hear Mammoth’s voice boom in the distance. “Looks like our princess found her happily ever after.”
Laughter erupts around us, but we stay in our huddle. He’s right. I found my true loves, and they weren’t in the form of princes or knights in shining armor, or even ogres…they’re my stepbrothers.
Epilogue
Aria
Whatevertheguyshavebeen up to, it’s playing out. All they’ve told me so far is that the hospital is aware that I’ll be gone. Klayton’s driving and I’m in the backseat with his brothers on either side of me and a blindfold over my eyes. It’s probably worth mentioning they’re competing for hand space on my hint of a baby bump.
They’ve all become super protective of me now that I’m carrying the Mystery Child. We’re not going to find out who the father is until the baby is born.
We’ve gone public with our relationship, as have a few other families in Eggplant Canyon. My dad and stepmom aren’t totally at peace with it, but they’re trying. In turn, I gave Dad my blessing for him to run for one last term as mayor. When the full story came out about his opponent hiring the guy to dig up dirt, the unscrupulous opponent dropped out of the race.
And, Dad gave us the house, since Eggplant Canyon was getting too promiscuous for his liking. He and Pam bought a place in town.
The car makes a big turn and I’m appreciative of my guys keeping me from wobbling around too much. Not something I would have thought about, but without the visual cues, I’m practically a soggy noodle flopping around the backseat.
We make several turns in short succession, which leads me to believe we must be nearing our destination. Then sure enough, the car rolls to a stop, and the guys get out. I’m directed to stay put and leave the blindfold in place a few minutes longer.
They must realize I can hear the airplanes at this point. I’m giddy at the thought of a vacation. My husbands are master secret keepers though and I have no idea where we’re going.
The back hatch of the SUV opens, there’s a little bit of rustling, then it closes. Luggage? They didn’t tell me to pack anything. Perhaps a shopping spree will be part of our vacation. They love to spoil me.
I sense one of them in the open door of the car. A second later, a hand gently takes mine and guides me to exit.
