My throat closed up with tears. “You’re going to make me cry,” I croaked, my voice breaking.
“Easy,” Lincoln crooned as he nuzzled my neck, his hands stilling for a moment. “He’s just telling you the truth, baby girl.”
I reached up and covered Lincoln’s hand with mine, but my eyes never left Jessie’s. He gave me a tender smile. “Let him take care of you, West.”
Lincoln flipped his hand over and gently squeezed it before he lightly brushed it aside, his fingers beginning to massage me again.
These two men would never have any clue how much they both fucking meant to me.

West
THIRTY WEEKS PREGNANT
I stretched, a low groan falling from my lips as I matched the pose of the woman on the screen in front of me. Meghan whined. “Why the fuck did I think this would be a good idea?” she asked me.
I shrugged, forcing my body to relax. I smirked over at her as I settled into the yoga position. “Your men aren’t stretching you out enough?” I teased her.
She shot me a dark look, and I burst out laughing. Lana squealed, laughter falling from her lips as she came running, her brothers running after her. Julian quickly scooped her up and settled her on his shoulders, taking off running from her brothers.
“God, he’s so fucking hot,” Meghan whispered out of the blue, her eyes riveted to her husband’s backside.
I laughed. “Meghan, I’m still right here,” I told her.
She blushed as she looked back over at me. “Sorry. Every time I watch him interact with the kids, I want to jump his bones.” She wiggled her eyebrows at me. “I have a thing for hot dads.”
I barked out a laugh as we moved into another position, almost a split. Meghan easily moved into it, a broad smile on her face. I snorted. “Of course, this would be the position you’re good at,” I teased.
She rolled her eyes at me. “Don’t be jealous that I get more dick than you,” she retorted, sticking her tongue out at me.
I laughed when her face instantly went red after she realized what she’d actually said. “Fuck, babe, are you pregnant again?” Julian asked as he laughed at Meghan, clearly hearing what she’d just said.
She rolled her lips into her mouth, not answering him. My smirk widened. I’d known for a little while now, but she wanted to wait until Julian noticed the changes before saying anything.
Julian’s eyes widened. “Holy shit, you’re pregnant!” he yelled as he rushed toward her and lifted her up into his arms, spinning her around in a circle.
“Julian, put me down!” She laughed. “I’m going to throw up all over you if you don’t,” she warned him.
He quickly set her down, but then, he cupped her face in his hands and kissed her. Jessie and Lincoln stepped into the house at that moment, and I moved into a sitting position, pausing the yoga video as I looked up at them. Lincoln gripped me under my arms and pulled me up. Jessie then gripped my chin and gently pressed a kiss to my lips. I sighed, relaxing into their holds.
“Yoga, huh?” Lincoln asked once he had stolen his own kiss from me.
I shrugged. “Meghan suggested it.”
“Axel, fuck, man, guess what?” Julian said as he spoke into his phone, moving toward us, holding Meghan’s hand in his.
“I know,” Axel told him with a laugh. “I got lucky with the last one. This one is yours. Thank your woman. She asked me to make sure she got pregnant by you this time.”
With that, Axel hung up. Jessie grinned at them. “Congrats.” Julian hadn’t been quiet about wanting a fourth kid, and now, he was finally getting his wish. I knew he was over the moon.
Meghan laughed. “I didn’t expect him to be this excited,” she admitted.
I hugged her, and she instantly wound her arms around me. “I’m so happy for you,” I whispered in her ear. “I know you’ve been trying to have a baby with him again for a good minute.”
She squeezed me. “You’ve been an amazing friend, West.” Warmth spread through my chest. “I know we met under really shitty circumstances, but I’m so fucking happy I met you.”
We pulled away just as Axel walked into the house, a solemn expression on his face. Julian clenched his jaw and wrapped his hand around Meghan’s, tugging her back against his side. Jessie grabbed my own hand. “We should all go inside and talk,” Axel said quietly.
Without a word, Lincoln led him into the house. I looked up at Jessie, anxiety bubbling up in my gut. He didn’t look surprised—just resigned. He sighed when he noticed me looking up at him. “Come on,” he said quietly.
I let him lead me into the house. Axel was sitting on one of the couches, and he instantly reached out for Meghan, drawing her down beside him. Julian perched on the arm of the couch on the other side of her. Jessie sat down on the other couches Lincoln was sitting on, and Lincoln grabbed my hand in his, linking our fingers together.
