She giggles and the sound vibrates through my bones. Damn, I would fucking die for this girl.
“Shall we go see if Conor and Shane have managed to rustle up something vaguely edible for dinner?” I suggest.
“Hmm,” she purrs softly as she leans forward and rests her head against my chest.
“You tired?” Liam asks as he rubs her back.
“Not tired exactly,” she murmurs.
“Fucked?” I offer with a flash of my eyebrows.
She laughs again. “Exactly.”
“Let’s get out of here before Mikey fucks you again then.” Liam laughs too and he goes to stand but she reaches for his arm and pulls him back to her until she’s sandwiched between us again.
“I don’t know what I’d do without you boys,” she whispers.
“You’ll never have to know, baby,” Liam says as he presses a soft kiss between her shoulder blades and she purrs contentedly.
“Yeah. Stuck with us for life, Red.”
“I’d better be,” she says with a smile.

Ilean back in my chair and rub my hands over my stomach. “I’m so full,” I groan loudly.
“You’ve barely eaten,” Conor says as he looks down at the half-eaten hot dog and the small pile of nachos I’ve left. I’ve eaten plenty, but I usually have a huge appetite.
“I have,” I protest. “And now I’m full.”
“Well, we can’t have this good food go to waste,” Mikey says as he reaches over the table and takes my plate.
“You don’t want dessert then?” Conor asks.
I look at the fudge cake in the center of the table and lick my lips. “I’m sure I could squeeze in a little slice shortly.”
“Hmm. Thought you might,” he says with a wink.
Shane is sitting beside me and he drapes an arm around my shoulder. “Are you feeling okay now, sweetheart?”
“Yeah. I’ll be fine. Thank you all for looking after me.”
“That’s kind of our job, Angel,” Conor says softly.
I smile at him. Right now I do feel fine, if slightly too full. I’m still disappointed but I count myself lucky that I have these four incredible men to share that with and to remind me that our life is about so much more than baby-making. And my period isn’t kicking my ass too much either. It’s definitely lighter than usual and apart from some initial cramps in the night, I haven’t had any further.
“We were talking earlier when you were drying your hair,” Shane says and my stomach drops. Serves me right for feeling too happy and smug.
“What about?” I whisper.
“We think we should stop with the ovulation testing.”
“What?” I blink at him. “Why? Don’t you all want a baby now?” My lip trembles as I speak and I curse myself for being so damn emotional.
“Yes, we still want a baby,” Shane replies and his brothers voice their agreement.
