"I’m proud of you," I tell her.

"I know that was hard for you, Cookie," Michael says. He runs his hand down her bare arm. "But you were fierce."

"And sexy as fuck," Crew tells her.

She smiles. "Yeah? It felt…powerful."

"You were magnificent," I tell her.

Her smile is bright and confident.

"Now let’s get the car loaded," Michael says. "It’s going to be fun unpacking all this at home."

I give an exaggerated groan. "We have to carry this stuff up all those stairs? Can’t wait for that."

Danielle gives me a soft kiss. "Wait until you’re carrying a baby up and down those steps."

"Now that I can’t wait for."

I really can’t.

This baby can’t come soon enough for me.

"When we get home, I might need a nap," Danielle says. She gives me a flirty look as she picks up the absolute smallest package possible on the table and saunters past me. "Naked."

"I am definitely a nap guy," Michael says.

Which is not true at all, but we all know Danielle isn’t talking about sleep.

"I’ve got this one covered if you get too worn out on the stairs, Boss," Crew says, clapping me on the shoulder.

I lift the biggest box on the table. "You wish."

CHAPTER 15

Crew

I stretch out on the couch with a loud, long, very contented sigh. I make sure my legs and arms all stretch as far as they possibly can.

"Okay, Okay," Nathan says.

I smirk at him.

"I don’t think you have any idea how much I love the fact that you bought a couch exactly like the one you got rid of."

"I don’t want to talk about it."

Nathan is propped on the other end of the couch. The exact replica of the ginormous couch we owned for a few months that he bitched about constantly, and that he got rid of because he insisted it was a hazard to our soon-to-be born child.

He proceeded to buy, have delivered, and then sit on three different couches for two days each.

He hated them all. They were too small, too hard, or both.

It was like watching fucking Goldilocks try the three bears’ beds and I enjoyed every second.

So one day while we were all gone, he ordered this couch. Which is exactly like the one he got rid of.

I walked in the house that day, saw the thing taking up most of the space in our living room and almost cried.
