Fang shook his head. “All you, Pix.”
I checked the colored stickers on the handle and then put one down on the table before turning back to the crowd. “Okay, so Bliss tells me you might all want to know if we’re having a boy or a girl?”
A round of cheers went up as people raised their drinks in the air. Some of the guys from the MC stamped their feet on Riva’s hardwood floors.
Myhardwood floors, I corrected myself. We’d had a letter in the mail from a lawyer, giving Vaughn the title to the house.
We hadn’t made a fuss about it, because the circumstances around him inheriting it weren’t anything pleasant. It hadn’t been enough for him to forgive his mother and stepfather for what they’d done.
But we had a home again. A place to raise our family. For that, I was grateful.
I shook the popper in the air. “You ready?”
“Five!” Bliss yelled. “Four! Three!”
The rest of the room joined in. “Two! One!”
I ripped the cord on the popper.
Blue confetti filled the air, bursting out over our friends who’d gathered.
A scream of excitement cut through the rest of the cheers, and Bliss threw herself at me.
“A boy! Oh my God, I was so sure it was a girl, but maybe that just means that’s what I’m having. You’re going to be a boy mom, Rebel!”
I glanced over at my men standing shoulder to shoulder behind me. The three of them looked proud as punch, even though this wasn’t a surprise for them, since they’d been there in the OB’s room when we’d been told. They were going to rock the boy-dad role, taking our little man to football games and teaching him to ride a bike. I was already imagining the mischief the four of them would get into.
I accepted hugs from multiple people before disentangling myself because there was something else I needed to say. “There was something else we found out at the OB’s office this morning,” I said loudly, trying to be heard above the din.
Bliss’s eyes went wide, but there was worry behind them. “Is everything okay? I didn’t even ask if he was healthy…”
I grinned at her and reached behind me for the other popper. In one quick pull, the pink confetti flew up in the air.
Bliss screamed so loud I could have sworn it pierced my eardrums. “Twins? Is it twins?”
I nodded.
She screamed again.
The people I loved most in the world surrounded us, every single one of them happy and safe and loved. Just like our babies would be.
Someone turned the music up, and the drinks flowed, at least for everyone but me and Bliss.
It was a party I’d never thought I’d have wanted, but in the moment, it was everything.
Vaughn tugged me aside after I got through the line of people waiting to pepper me with questions about how I was feeling and what the doctor had said. He towed me up the stairs until we were in his bedroom. Kian and Fang were on the other side.
I grinned at them happily. “Everyone was so surprised. That was actually pretty fun.”
The three of them wore matching smirks.
My smile turned into suspicion. “What’s going on?”
Vaugh let out a laugh. “I didn’t have my head together enough to ask during our consultation, but something niggled at me all the way home.”
I frowned at him. “Something about the babies?”
He nodded. “So I just got off the phone with Dr. Storley.”
