Is this a yes?
I nearly fall on my ass when he stands to hold out his hand.
“I’d love nothing more than to welcome you into our family.”
Hell to the motherfucking yes.
I shake his hand, unable to contain the smile taking over my face.

“I can’t believewe’re moving into our own house!” I squeal, jumping up and down with the new set of keys in my hand. “We’re going to decorate, and I’m going to have nine million bookshelves and a great kitchen to bake in!”
Rex’s game took off, breaking nearly eight hundred million in salesin the first week, and there’s already talks for a second one. To say I’m proud is an understatement.
A few weeks ago, he asked what I thought about us moving into Chloe’s house.
Living together.
Him and me.
I was ready to start packing as soon as he asked.
Today’s the big day, and lucky for us, we have a team of helpers. Maliki, Kyle, and Gage are here to assist us with the heavy loading. Also helping is Rex’s half-brother, Trey, and Lauren’s brothers, Dallas and Hudson. Chloe and Lauren are here, and they dragged Lauren’s sisters-in-laws, Willow and Stella, here to be Team Unpack.
Before moving in, we had the walls freshly painted and new flooring installed. The new furniture we’d purchased was delivered and assembled three days ago, so all we need to do is unpack and relax in our new place.
“Man, am I going to miss my old bedroom,” Trey says, standing in the doorway of the guest room before walking in and falling back onto the full-size bed.
Trey lived here with Chloe before they moved in with Kyle.
“You can spend the night here whenever you want,” Rex says, patting Trey on the back when he stands.
I dodge Maliki carrying a box down the hallway and stop at the empty room that once belonged to Chloe’s niece. Resting against the doorframe, I imagine the possibilities. My thoughts are broken by Rex’s voice.
“Pizza is here!” he yells, paying the deliveryman and grabbing the stack of pizza boxes from him.
We move, unpack, eat pizzas, and drink beer, and six hours later, the gang leaves. It’s been an exhausting day, but it was worth it.
“Have you decided what to do with the spare bedroom?” Rex asks while helping me clean up the kitchen. “I’m thinking”—a smirk passes over his face—“game room?”
I dry my hands off on a dish towel and shut the dishwasher. “I have something else in mind.”
He raises a brow. “What do you mean?”
“I have a surprise for you.”
“I love your surprises.”
“Why?” I laugh, shaking my head. “Because they normally end up with us naked?”
He snaps his fingers, a boyish smile on his lips. “Exactly why I love them, babe.”
“Hopefully, you’ll like this one.” I gulp before moving around him and grab my phone from the counter. Unlocking the screen, I pull up the photo I found on Pinterest. My eyes stay fixed on his face as I wait for his response, afraid to miss an expression that crosses it.
He scratches his head. “Uh …” His eyes dart from the phone to me, back to the phone, and then to me. “A baby room?”
