And that Crew knows this is where he belongs. Chicago. With the Racketeers.

With us.

"As you all know, my life has been pretty exciting this past year," Crew says.

The crowd cheers and I smile, looking around.

I never would’ve expected the incredibly warm welcome and acceptance our foursome would get from the city of Chicago and all of the Racketeers fans. There are still a few haters here and there, but every time there is a negative comment posted anywhere online, at least twenty people jump on to defend us and say how great they think everything is.

I look over at Luna and she gives me a wink.

It doesn’t hurt that Alexsei Ryan is also wildly popular and is also in a foursome relationship that includes Crew McNeill’s sister.

They are both beloved by the Racketeers fandom and they’ve just given everyone even more reason to understand and support nontraditional relationships.

"And most of you know, my family is expecting even more excitement here in a few months." Crew pauses again as there are more cheers. "In case you’re not caught up," he says. "Cookie and Company is expanding. We’re having a baby just before Christmas."

Louder cheers erupt and both Nathan and Michael reach over at the same time and squeeze my knees.

"I know most of you also know that my beautiful, amazing girlfriend got married a few months ago. To my two best friends," Crew says with a chuckle. "And I am so happy. They are amazing. I can’t imagine having our lives in any other way."

I feel my eyes stinging. It’s obvious he’s happy. No one watching him or listening could doubt that for a second.

"Well," he says. "Maybe there is one thing I could imagine another way."

I sit up as Crew’s eyes land on me. He smiles.

"Dani," Luna says.

I ignore her.

There’s something in Crew’s eyes that I can’t look away from.

"Dani," Luna says again.

"Not now," I mutter.

"Danielle," Nathan says.

I frown. I’m still watching Crew. He’s not saying anything. He just lifts his hand and points at me.

"Danielle," Nathan repeats.

I finally look at him. "What?"

He points. I follow his finger to the end of our row. Standing in the aisle is Sammy the Malamute.

He motions with his hand that I am supposed to come to him.

I laugh and shake my head.

He nods and then points. I look up to see us up on the KissCam.

Of course we are.

I’m actually surprised that Nathan hasn’t removed that thing. He keeps threatening to.

I shake my head and point at Crew. "I need to stay here," I tell Sammy.
