“Damn, Zev,” I said, a little breathless.

“I love you.” His voice was hoarse with emotion.

“I love you too,” I said, feeling like I could conquer the world.

“Ok, you had your kiss, now share.” Aeon lifted me off Zev’s lap, kissing me even before I sat in his lap.

It was passionate and full of relief. He kissed me in slow languid strokes like he was showing me what he might do to me later. During our kiss, I felt Lucien sit behind me kissing my shoulder. He pushed my hair aside paying attention to his and Aeon’s mating marks. I shivered from the feel of it, grinding my hips against Aeon.

“Kit Kat, I can’t believe it,” he said against my neck, pulling my hair so that he could turn my head, kissing me like he needed it to live. I shivered from it, always feeling consumed by them and I fucking loved it.

“Holy shit!” I laid a hand on my stomach getting ready to tell them when I had a split second of indecision. Are they going to be mad? Will they hate me? I couldn’t survive if they hated me for this.

“What, Baby?” Lucien nuzzled one side of my face while Aeon kissed my neck.

Nerves clammed me up, and I didn’t know what to do.

“Kitten?” Aeon stopped kissing my neck.

“Please don’t be mad at me,” I whispered, as my throat clogged with emotion.

I got off Aeon’s lap, grabbing both of their hands as a single tear fell down my cheek. My heart started beating faster, my cheeks felt hotter, and I couldn’t help but bite my lip.

“I’m pregnant,” I said quickly. “I wanted to tell you before, but I didn’t want to because I didn’t want you to mourn us both if we did die. I know I shouldn’t have kept it from you, but I just didn’t want to have caused any more heartache. I know it was a shit excuse, and I’m so sorry.”

I couldn't hold back anymore as I covered my face and began to cry into my hands.

“Kit Kat,” Lucien whispered, scooting closer to me.

“We know,” Aeon said, sitting on the other side of me.

“What?” I brought my hands down to look at them.

“We think it's a girl too. Soon, a little Katarina will be running around sassing us and ordering us around, wrapping us around her little finger,” Lucien said, with a small smile on his face.

“What?” I said again, confused. “How?”

“You were dying, Lu used that Oria, he said it was your Mary Hail pass and Zev was worried what it might do to the baby,” Aeon said, kissing my shoulder.

I looked up to see Zev looking at me with a hint of remorse. “I was worried.” He shrugged.

I chuckled as my heart swelled with happiness, my grumpy man going soft. I loved it.

“First, it's a Hail Mary pass, and I’m glad you gave it to me,” I said. “But I don’t know if that’s what brought me back.”

“I don’t think it was either,” Aeon said, pulling me to his side, putting a hand on my stomach. “I think we may have had the goddess interfere.”

“So… you’re not mad,” I said, flinching.

“Yes.”

“No.”

Aeon and Lucien said at the same time. I don’t even know who said yes and no.

“I don’t think you should have left Zev to shoulder the loss on his own, but I also know that when you ask for something, it's really hard to say no to you,” Aeon said, cupping my cheek. “I know the circumstances weren’t ideal. I just don’t want this to be what happens in the future. We are a pack, and we handle things like a pack.”

“I panicked and didn’t…”
