Boone grunted. “Just as long as we’re all clear about this not being a frequent thing. Other people looking at our lady. Not the other thing. That was great.”
“Can’t do it. Maybe on your birthday, baby.” Wells patted my ass very gently and sighed. “It was hot, though.”
I smiled into Remy’s chest. “I don’t think I need it again. And if we’re clearing things up, I don’t ever want anyone else seeing my little guys.”
Three collective groans went up, with Remy’s being the loudest. “Don’t call them little guys.”
I laughed and then winced. “Your daughter doesn’t like it, either. She just kicked the crap out of me.”
“That’s our girl. She’s already on Team Daddy.” Remy caught my glare and shrugged. “It’s just what she wants, clearly.”
“What she wants is for you three to carry me home and give me lots of massages.” I flicked my tongue over Remy’s nipple, knowing how ticklish it was, and laughed when he snorted. “This bed is nice. Do you think I could ask the owner where they got it?”
Boone patted the top of Remy’s head. “Go ahead. You’ve definitely got his attention.”

“Youstupidasses!Why did we do this? When I can walk again, I’m going to find three men of normal size and stature who make normal sized babies!” Memphis screamed at the top of her lungs and nearly shattered every bone in my hand as she squeezed. “I’m going to murder—ahhhh!”
“Yes! There we go, Memphis. That was it, honey.” Braddock held up a bloody baby who looked too small to me, if anything. A nurse took Maggie and scrubbed her before suctioning her and letting us cut the cord.
What had felt like forever to finally get to was over. I leaned down to Memphis and kissed her sweaty forehead and cheeks. Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the love of my life and watched her take our daughter and hold her chest to chest. “I’m so fucking proud of you, sweetheart. Look what you did.”
Memphis cried and looked up at me with her big green eyes, as sweet as ever. She found Boone and Wells and once she knew where her men were, she let out a big breath and kissed little Maggie’s head as gently as she could. “She’s so little. Just a tiny little thing.”
Wells wiped his eyes. “She’s perfect.”
Boone kept counting her fingers and toes, like he was amazed by them. “We made this little human. Your body grew these little fingers and toes, love. You’re amazing.”
“I want four more.” Memphis leaned back against her pillows and smiled happily. “Maybe more. We’re going to need a bigger house.”
“We’ll give you as many babies as you want, sweetheart. We’ll give you anything in the world. I love you so much.” My voice broke as I tried my best to explain the enormity of my emotions with words that just didn’t cut it.
“Alright, Dads. Who wants to hold Maggie first? Momma needs to rest for a bit.” Braddock moved like he was going to lift Maggie and Memphis almost bared her teeth at him. “Alright, we’ll just wait for that to happen.”
I hugged my brothers and enjoyed a moment of the five of us being a perfect little family. When Memphis had rested and we’d all taken turns holding our daughter, we found ourselves in a debate over who we thought had the strongest swimmers after all. Each of us swore that Maggie looked more like us, but Memphis shut us all down by making the same silly face that Maggie was making and proving that she hadn’t used any of our swimmers’ attributes to make the kid. It was like looking at a mini version of Memphis. A mini bald version.
Jake messaged me with the text I’d been waiting for after we’d had a quiet morning with Maggie and I felt a jolt of excitement at what was coming. I nodded to my brothers and dropped a kiss on Memphis’s forehead.
“I’m going to go grab something from the vending machine. Do you need anything, Memphis?”
She shook her head. “Just you back here soon.”
If it hadn’t been so important, I wouldn’t have been able to tear myself away. Even so, I ran down the hallway and nearly plowed Jake over in my urgency to get back to Memphis.
“Well, shit, buddy, you are a big sonofabitch, aren’t you?” Knox King stood next to Jake, a big grin on his face. He yanked me into a hug and I could feel just how excited he was to see his sister and his niece. His big personality quieted as he spun his hat in his hand. “How is she? She okay? And Maggie?”
I wrapped my arm around his shoulder, my good mood nearly permanent. “She’s great. She did amazing. Threatened to murder us, but that’s just a normal Tuesday with Memphis. And Maggie is perfect. She looks just like Memphis.”
“I can’t wait to see her. I can’t thank you enough, Remy.” He looked away as he teared up and sniffed. “I owe you a lot, man.”
I’d made a few calls. Knox had had a shitty lawyer and deserved a retrial. With a little sweet talking, the new DA didn’t want to retry a case that he knew he’d never win. So with a little grease, the wheels of justice turned the right way.
I saw Jake turn to leave and scoffed. “If you think I’m going back into that room and telling Memphis that I didn’t bring you in while I could, you’re nuts. Come on, asshole, and stop trying to get me in trouble.”
Jake shrugged. “I didn’t want to intrude if it was just family.”
