“Well, the first test I did was a very straightforward one.” She laughs softly and I feel my heart racing faster. “You’re pregnant, Jessie.”
I reach for the wall, placing my hand flat on its surface for support.
“W-what?” I stammer. “But I had a period three weeks ago.”
“Was it lighter than normal?”
“Yes. Quite a bit,” I recall my period at the lake house.
“Probably implantation bleeding. You are definitely very pregnant.”
By this point, the brothers are surrounding me as I take deep breaths. Is she mistaken? Because this feels like everything I’ve ever wanted and that doesn’t happen to people like me, does it?
“How long?” I whisper and a warm strong hand grips my shoulder but I don’t look around to see who it belongs to.
“Well, here’s the thing,” Lisa says with a soft sigh. “Your HCG levels are higher than I’d expect based on your dates that you gave me.”
“What does that mean?” I daren’t look up at my husbands but I feel their eyes burning into my skin anyway.
“It means you’re either further along than I thought…” she pauses.
“Or?” Dammit, Lisa. You’re killing me here.
“Or you’re about five weeks pregnant with multiple babies.”
“Multiple?” I whisper.
“Well, you both have twins in the family,” she chuckles. “Congratulations, Jessie. I’ll set you up an appointment with an OB-GYN I know, Dr. Stein. She’s amazing.”
“Thank you,” I whisper as my stomach flutters with so much nervous excitement, I feel like I might throw up.
She ends the call and I stare at my cell phone wondering if I just imagined that conversation. No. It was real. She said it. It must be true.
“What is it, Angel?” Conor asks and I look up to see it’s him with a hand on my shoulder. I look between his and his brothers’ expectant faces.
“I’m pregnant,” I whisper.
“I knew it! Peppermint tea!” Mikey yells with delight as he and Liam press me into a twin sandwich and they plant kisses all over my face and head, making me giggle.
“Careful, assholes,” Conor warns them good-naturedly and a few seconds later, the twins release me from their hug.
“I’m so proud of you, baby,” Liam whispers in my ear. When they step aside, Conor pulls me into his arms.
“Lisa thinks it might be twins too,” I say, still in a state of shock.
“Yes!” Mikey and Liam say together.
“You’re fucking incredible, Angel,” Conor says as he presses a soft kiss on my forehead. “And you just made us the happiest men alive, you know that right?”
“Yes,” I nod before I press my face against his chest and breathe in the scent of him.
A moment later, he releases me too and steps back to allow his oldest brother to take his place. Of all of them his is the reaction I’m most worried about because I’ve been so worried that he’s going to regret our decision. He slides his arms around my waist and pulls me tight to him.
“I love you so fucking much, sweetheart,” he says as he rests his cheek on the top of my head. “I can’t believe you just made us all a dad,” he chuckles softly and the sound rumbles through his chest.
I look up at him and smile. “I did, didn’t I?”
I lean against him and smile, becoming a mom and a sister again in the same day! I am the luckiest girl in the world.
