Chapter 35

Faye

As the boys help me unpack the groceries, Thane comes in from a long day of flying, still wearing his captain’s uniform, and I don’t think I’ve noticed until now just how sexy he is in it.

“Daddy!” Jack yells and gives him a hug. Braxley hugs him too. He still calls him Thane, and I think that’s okay. Ben is his dad, and I always want it to stay that way in his memory. But Thane holds a spot inside of him too, I can see it through the connection that the two share.

“Baby,” he says and kisses me on the corner of the mouth.

“How was your day?” I ask.

“It was good.” He reaches into the fridge and cracks a beer then asks, “How was my boys’ day?”

“It was so fun, one of our chicks hatched in class today.”

“No way, that’s awesome. Did you guys see it happen?”

“Yeah,” Braxley says his face lighting up as he recalls the events from earlier and I love watching my guys together.

“What did you name it?”

“Harry!”

“Well, that’s suiting.”

Jack is still helping me with the groceries. He’s such a good helper anytime I need it.

“Here, bud,” I tell him passing him some more fresh vegetables to put into the fridge.

He puts them in the drawer and then goes through another bag. “What’s this, Faye?” he asks me, holding up the pregnancy test that I bought today. Shit, how did I forget about that? I must be pregnant.

“Oh, it’s nothing,” I tell him and toss it on top of the fridge. Thane being nosy, peeks at the top of the fridge and then takes down the box, holding it in his hand.

“Yeah, what is this?” he asks me, and I blush, staying busy with the groceries.

“It’s nothing,” I tell him.

“Doesn’t look like nothing,” he says reading the box and sipping on his beer. I yank it out of his hand and throw it on top of the fridge again.

“Do you have something to tell me?” he asks pulling me towards him by the hips. I stand in front of him, the boys are at either side of him, and I shake my head.

“What is it?” Braxley asks, and Thane says, “It’s a pregnancy test.”

“What’s it do?”

“It can tell if you’re pregnant or not.”

“Oh, I wanna use it,” Jack says, and we all laugh at him.

“No, buddy, it’s not for boys. Only girls can have babies.”

“But a girl and a boy make a baby.”

Thane swallows awkwardly, and I have no clue how he knows that.

“So why don’t you take the test, Mommy?” Braxley asks me.

“Oh, I’ll do it later.”
