“The cream is runny,” he complains.
Ma sighs. “Ahhh. I knew I forgot something. I meant to whisk it.”
The kids help themselves to cookies, and their conversations play out like background noise while Will and I stare at one another. “You’re so fucking beautiful. I can’t wait for this baby to come, and then I’ll put another one in you.” I peck her lips. “And another.” I gift her with another kiss. “And another.” She stifles a giggle at my playfulness, but she has to know it will happen.
“I got it!” Keen declares from the doorway while my mind plays catch-up with what the hell he’s got.
Holy. Fucking. Shitballs.
No.
My body freezes, and my mouth falls open as I glance around the table. Everyone’s eyes are wide and mouths agape at Keen wielding Will’s vibrating wand, but Bren seems none the wiser and sticks his hand out for Keen to pass it to him.
Oh, shit, god no.
“Brennnn, I don’t think that’s a...” Will starts, but Bren lowers the wand into the jug of cream and turns the switch on, ignoring her attempts to warn him. The vibrating and the motion of the wand can only be described as a jackhammer noise, pounding the cream into thickening in the jug.
“I mean, it’s working,” Will whispers as we all stare at Bren in horror while the cream splatters his hand and up his arm.
When he finally stops the wand, he takes the jug and dishes himself a portion onto his bread-and-butter pudding.
Will moves toward my ear, speaking low. “Should we tell him?”
I can’t help the way my lips tip up in delight. “Nah, let the fucker choke on it.”
Everyone at the table stares frozen as Bren’s spoon moves toward his mouth, and when his thick lips clamp over the spoon, Finn lets out a snort that Bren’s kids annoyingly mimic.
Bren’s eyebrows furrow as he tucks into his dessert. “Taste’s good,” he grunts and lifts his eyes in my direction, coaxing me to argue.
“Is it wand-er-ful?” Finn chuckles, making me snort in laughter.
“Can tell Ma made it,” Bren tacks on.
I sit back in my chair and watch on with my arms crossed and a wide smile perched on my face. “You’re right, she did.” I lift my shoulder. “Even Will played a part in making the dessert.” I feel Will’s eyes search my face. “She helped provide the cream.” I grin from ear to ear. Cal tries his hardest not to chuckle but fails miserably, Finn full on belly laughs, and even Oscar’s lips twitch at my comment.
Bren’s eyes work around the table, realizing he’s clearly missing a joke.
“I have a purple one of those but mine has glitter too.” Sky smiles while pointing at the wand on the table.
Bren’s gaze latches onto the device on the table, and his body jolts. Slowly, his darkened gaze rises to meet mine. His face reddens, his veins pulsate on the side of his neck, and the grip on his spoon tightens. “You. Little. Fucker!” His words come out deadly.
I lick my lips and go in for the kill. “Taste’s good.” Then I gift him with my signature cocky grin.
The roar that leaves his lips is nothing short of animalistic as I make quick work of pushing back on my chair. My dumbass brother is quick on my heels as my brothers cheer and the kids chant, “Get him!”
ChapterThirteen
Will
“Get him! Get him!” the kids are chanting away, clapping as Bren thunders up the stairs after Con.
“They’re such children sometimes,” Sky comments while bouncing Isaac on her hip. Her small bump on display has me envious at how easily she carries babies. You’d think with Bren’s huge genes, she would be big, but no, it looks like she’s shoved a small soccer ball up her T-shirt.
“I hope he doesn’t punch him in his jaw again. Honestly, he’s constantly complaining of the pain there,” I admit, sitting forward, but a sharp pain across my stomach forces me to sag back into my chair and rub over my baby bump.
The lights flicker, and my head shoots up, and the kids gasp, and then before we know what is happening, the lights go out.
“What the fuck?” Finn snipes out.
