“And everything looks good?” Conor asks.
“Perfect,” Brooke replies.
Conor leans over and kisses my abdomen softly. “Thank fuck.” He swallows hard, his voice thick with emotion. “I thought…”
I run my hands through his hair and can’t believe I didn’t realize why he’s been looking so anxious since we got the news from Lisa.
He stands straight again and lets out a long slow breath.
“Can you tell how far she is?” Mikey asks as he peers at the screen.
“Five weeks and three days,” Brooke replies confidently.
“Wow!” Liam gasps. “You can be that specific?”
“Sure can,” she says, giving me a smile before she pulls the wand from between my thighs.
She removes the condom and wipes the wand with some tissue before she stands. “I’ll let you clean up a little and then I’ll pop back in and we can talk through your care and appointments.”
“Thank you,” I say with a smile as my heart feels like it’s going to burst with happiness. I’m pregnant! With twins!
“You’re welcome.” She snaps off her rubber gloves and then she leaves her office.
As soon as she is gone, Conor leans over me and kisses my cheek. “I was so worried, Angel,” he breathes. “I was too rough with you the other night.”
I place my hand on his cheek. “You weren’t. We didn’t know.”
“No more spankings for you, sweetheart,” Shane says with a chuckle as he sits on the bed.
“What?” I open my mouth, feigning my indignation. “That seems so unfair.”
“Just until the babies are born,” he adds with a wicked grin before he leans down and presses a soft kiss on my stomach.
“We’re having twins,” Liam says, shaking his head as though he’s still in shock.
“Looks like.” I smile at him and he nudges Conor out of the way.
Cupping my face in his hands he bends his head and kisses me softly. “I love you.”
“Love you too.”
“You’re fucking amazing, Red. Right now the babies are just the size of a strawberry seed but next week they’ll be the size of a baked bean,” Mikey says as he muscles his way in between his brothers.
“Are you going to be a pain in the ass with your research this entire pregnancy, Dr. Mikey?” Shane asks with a grin, teasing him good-naturedly.
“Yes!” Mikey replies.
Chapter 33

Isit on the sofa with my feet up while Liam rubs them softly. We got back from the doctor’s office six hours ago but the excitement still hasn’t worn off. Mikey made us all a beautiful turkey dinner, with six different kinds of vegetables, all of which he insisted I eat because it’s good for the babies. And he was so sweet and went to so much trouble, how could I refuse? He also made chocolate brownies for dessert and served them with fresh strawberries and ice cream.
All four of my boys have taken the day and night off work and I have to say I am loving being spoiled by them. I could sure get used to another eight months of this. A wave of tiredness washes over me and I yawn loudly just as Shane and Conor walk into the room.
“Bedtime for you, sweetheart,” Shane says with a smile.
“No. I’m watching the movie.”
