“It does,” Aiden said slowly.
“Well, that is something worth celebrating then,” she said.
It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders.
“You’re – you’re okay with this?” I stammered.
“Being a grandma? Of course I am, dear,” she said with a sweet smile. “And I’ve always loved you and thought of you as family, Harper. Now this makes it official. I do hope that you can figure things out with the boys… whatever works for the four of you, it’s really none of my business.”
She took my hands in hers and gave them a squeeze.
“We promise that we will work things out,” Jackson said.
“Can we have a moment with Harper, please?” Nate asked.
“Sure, of course,” Rose answered. She seemed chipper and said again, “I’m going to be a grandma!” before leaving.
Kat was still there though, frozen in place. Her arms were crossed in front of her, and she stared at me with a look I couldn’t make out, even after all the years of our friendship.
“Kat—”
“I think I ‘m going to leave you guys alone,” she said, hurrying from the room before I could chase after her.
“Give her some space,” Jackson said. “She just needs some time to get used to the news.”
It pained me to see my best friend upset at me if that’s what it was. We’d fought before, but she was always loud and brash with her opinion. I wasn’t sure what to make of her response, but I knew I also needed to talk to the guys. Jackson was right, I’d give her a moment.
“So one of us is going to be a father?” Aiden asked.
“Yes… and there’s a problem, considering you’re triplets…”
“We won’t be able to tell who the father is,” Jackson realized.
“Really?” Aiden asked.
“Our DNA is identical. It could be any one of us.”
“So… what does this mean for us?” Nathan asked.
“It means, well, we have to work together,” Jackson said.
“I don’t want to choose. I can’t choose,” I said softly.
“Who said anything about choosing?” Aiden asked.
I looked at the three of them. “Because one of you will want to step up and be a father, I imagine…”
“Why just one of us?” Jackson asked.
“What are you talking about?”
“It worked while we were in France, we have shown you that we can share, and we all work well together so why do we have to be monogamous? Just because society tells us that families are two parents doesn’t mean that it has to be that way.” Jackson said.
“We could be one large family,” Aiden said.
“I like the sound of that, actually,” Nathan agreed.
I looked at them. They were right, when we were together in France, it was perfect. Could it always be that perfect?
