“Bea!” I laughed hard enough that I had to stop and cross my legs before I peed on myself. I hadn’t even hit that part of pregnancy yet. I’d just been guzzling down water since Remy the Tyrant took away all caffeine from me.
It took us forever to get to the house but once we were at the door, we turned sneaky and quietly crept inside, wanting to catch the kids or the guys being wild again. Everything was silent, though. Bea and I exchanged a look and she rushed farther into the house, her eyes wide.
“Kids?!”
Wells stuck his head out of the informal living room and put his finger over his lips. “If you wake them up, you’re in so much trouble.”
I smiled into his kiss as he greeted me and looked past him, doubtful that they’d gotten the kids to sleep. To my shock and surprise, all four kids were passed out on the couch, tucked in under blankets. They all looked so peaceful.
“How the hell…?” Bea stared at the guys and then pulled out her phone to take a picture of the kids. “Did you drug them? I won’t be mad, but I have to know.”
Remy scoffed. “No, we didn’t drug them!”
Boone motioned for everyone to leave the room. “If you wake up Sara, I’ll never tell you where she hid your husband’s keys.”
“She told you where she put them?” Bea walked into the hallway in shock. “We’ve been begging her to tell us for weeks.”
“There’s a little hole in the back of her play kitchen. She said she put them inside and can’t get them out.” Boone bit back a laugh. “Of course, instead of admitting her mistake, she just dug her heels in and decided that getting into trouble would be better than saying she messed up. She’s a terror.”
Bea nodded. “I know.”
I pressed my knuckles to my mouth and tried to fight my urge to laugh, or cry. With my hormones being all over the place, I was never sure which would happen. “How did you go from Code Red, kids destroying your lives in fifteen minutes to putting them to bed before bedtime? And I didn’t smell poop!”
Remy met my eyes and actually looked a little bashful for the first time ever, that I’d seen. “I did some research. After what happened last time, I knew I didn’t want to go through that again. I read a few things and figured it out. And the kids in the program that you met that day of the gala might’ve given me some advice.”
My heart grew even fuller with my feelings for him, even as my panties became uncomfortably wet in a moment. “You went to see the kids from the gala and got advice from them?”
He nodded. “They had some good ideas.”
“And the diapers?” Bea looked back in on her kids and rubbed her eyes. “Someone changed their diapers?”
Wells grunted. “Turns out, after scrubbing shit out of your leg hair, you can’t be all that stunned anymore.”
She patted his arm. “Oh, honey. I don’t want to discourage you, but a kids’ shit can always surprise you.”
“And you researched about taking care of kids.” I said it matter-of-factly. “Just in case?”
He looked down at my belly. “I wouldn’t say just in case.”
I tried to tell myself to calm down, but I felt like if I didn’t get that man inside me as soon as possible that I’d explode from all the tension. “Bea, thanks for a good night. Take your kids and go now.”
She laughed. “I don’t even blame you. If my husband ever researched anything I’d be on him so fast.”
I looked around desperately for the tools to get the kids out of earshot of what was going to happen very soon. “Okay, everyone grab a kid and let’s get them to the van.”
Remy took me into his arms and looked at his brothers. “We’ll be upstairs. Help Bea, please. We can’t all be cute and needy and get away with kicking our friends out of the house.”
I looked back at Bea and waved. “You understand. I know you do.”
“Hey, I didn’t say a word. I’d have my pants off already if I were you.” She winked at me. “Clean up your sex toys, Remy.”
He ignored her parting shot as he carried me up to his bed and started what would end up being a night of marathon sex. When the sun came up, I was just collapsing between Wells and Boone while Remy pulled on a suit.
“I’ll be back before you know it. It’s just for the night, sweetheart.” He sat on the side of the bed while pulling on his shoes. “You won’t even miss me.”
I crawled to him and pressed myself into his back. “I will.”
“Yeah?” He looked back at me and I saw so much softness in his gaze that I couldn’t stop myself from crawling into his lap. He held me close and inhaled next to my hair. “You could always come.”
