“Damn fucking right I do. It’s not just those two living their best lives,” Alex says, pointing over his shoulder.
The front door opens, and a few seconds later, Daemon and Calli walk in.
“Come and sit down, baby momma,” Alex says, shifting closer to me to give her some space.
“Never thought I’d prefer baby C for a nickname,” she mutters, sitting onto Daemon’s lap when he steals the space first.
“How’s bump?” I ask seeing as they disappeared earlier for a midwife appointment.
“We heard the heartbeat,” Daemon says with a smile splitting his face.
“It was incredible,” Calli breathes. “I know we’ve seen her—”
“Him,” Nico corrects.
“But to hear her heart,” she continues as if he never spoke. “It was so incredible.”
Nico and Bri share a look that instantly gets my attention. And it seems I’m not the only one.
“Got something to tell us, cuz?” Theo asks.
But the second Brianna’s shoulders drop, I realise we weren’t meant to notice that exchange.
“No, we don’t,” Bri says, swallowing down what I can only assume is a little disappointment. “We thought maybe, but no.”
“We’re still young, babe,” Nico says before kissing her head.
“I know. It’s silly. I’m not even ready. The not knowing just fucks with your head.”
“Can you imagine how crazy life will be if we all have kids at the same time?” Jodie says.
“Nah, our little prince will be the oldest and will keep them all in line,” Daemon says confidently.
“That’s why he is going to be a she. No man could control all of your womb goblins,” Calli says, somehow managing to keep a serious face.
“Womb goblins?” I chuckle.
“Well, what would you call them? Seems like Seb and Stella are getting a little more practise in, ready to make one of their own.”
“Practising is the best bit,” Seb calls before Stella cries out his name.
“I feel sorry for their future kids already. No one needs to catch their parents fucking as much as they will.”
“Builds character and promotes a healthy sex life,” Seb argues before tugging Stella off the counter and pushing her to her knees.
“Jodie has a point though,” Nico says. “Just think of the shit we got up to over the years. The bullshit we pulled on our parents. I’m not sure any of us are ready for that.”
“It’s a good job some of us were good kids who followed the rules then, hey, big bro? If all our offspring follow the females then—”
“Seb, you beast,” Stella calls.
“Okay, forget it. We’re fucked. We’re all utterly fucked,” Calli concedes.
Our laughter covers what’s happening in the kitchen, and as I finish my first drink, Theo turns the music up and Alex takes my hand.
“Let’s dance, baby.”
Unable to argue with anything that will ensure I have his hands on me, I get to my feet and press my body against him.
