“Why didn’t you tell us you were feeling so run down? We would have made sure you rested more,” Drew points out.
“The blood tests showed something, didn’t they?” Logan asks. The concern in his voice causes my heart to race when she nods.
“I didn’t know the doctor was ordering this particular test until today when they phoned to tell me the results.” Chelsea bursts into tears again, and I pull her into my arms.
I look up at my best friends and can see the terror I’m feeling mirrored on their faces. All the different illnesses go through my mind as I hold the crying, shaking Chelsea against my chest.
“I didn’t know; I swear I had no idea,” she cries. I know then that whatever she’s been told she has will affect all of us.
“Whatever it is, darling, we will face it together,” I reassure her as I lean back from her a little to look into her tear-filled eyes. Logan drops beside me and cups her cheek, forcing her to look at him.
“We are a family, and we will deal with whatever comes our way as one. But for us to do that, you have to be honest with us and tell us what the doctor said.”
Chelsea looks at him for a second before nodding once.
“I’m pregnant.”
“What?” the three of us exclaim together as Chelsea bursts into tears again.
“I thought I had another year on my implant, but I should have had it changed six months ago,” she cries into her hands.
“Is that all?” I exclaim, sitting back on my heels.
“What do you mean, is that all? I’m fucking pregnant!” Chelsea exclaims, her eyes bulging. “You can't tell me you actually want a kid with me?”
“Why the fuck not?” Logan says from beside me.
“Because I don’t even know which of you is the father?”
“Does it matter? We will all bring them up anyway,” Drew points out behind us. Chelsea looks around at us as if she’s speechless.
“Even if this were planned, we wouldn’t have cared who the father was. Luna has three daddies, and so will any baby you have with us,” I point out.
“You want a baby with me? You aren’t mad?”
“Sweetheart, do you want to have a baby with us?” Drew asks. Chelsea looks around us all.
“I didn’t think you would want one with me,” she whispers as Logan laughs.
“I can’t think of anything I want more than to have a baby with you. I was bidding my time until I mentioned it.” Logan looks from me to Drew, and I see the pure joy in his eyes. Before Chelsea and Luna came into our lives, it was as if Logan was surviving from day to day. But now he smiles and laughs more than he has since losing Angie. I know the idea of Chelsea being pregnant will be a dream come true for him.
“Sweetheart, now you know we are okay with you being pregnant; I want you to think about what you want. If you don’t want another baby, you say the word, and we will do whatever you want. You are the one who has to do the hardest bits,” Drew says as he moves beside Chelsea. “Whatever you decide, you have our complete support.”
Chelsea looks around us all nervously.
“I always wished I’d had another baby,” she whispers nervously.
“Then it’s a good job you are pregnant,” I smile.
“Are we doing this then? Are we having a baby?” She asks, looking around at the three of us, who are all smiling back at her.
I reach up and place a hand on her stomach as Drew and Logan do the same. The three of us have been to hell and back together more times than we can count. We have faced terrorists, explosions, hostage-takers and death. We have supported and loved each other through our darkest days and fought to keep each other alive.
Now, we face a whole new challenge of fatherhood together. Nothing could prepare us for what is coming our way, but as always, we will face it together, side by side, this time with our daughter and lover beside us. I always saw these guys as my brothers, and now, there is no greater bond than being fathers together. They may have always been family, but now we have created a family unit I can't wait to grow.
I look up as Chelsea places her hands over ours to find her smiling at us. I lift and press my lips to hers before smiling at her.
“Looks like we are.”
