“Have any of you slept?” I twist to face Ford and run my fingers along his jawline.
“No.”
I hold his stare, noticing the worry in his eyes. It’s not a surprise they haven’t slept. Throughout the night, each of the guys would trade looks, communicating their anxiety.
The surrounding silence is eerie. Last I remember, this room was packed with people. Raven and Declan arrived with enough food to feed the entire floor. Raven had bags loaded with provisions.
Clothes, toiletries, blankets—she had everything.
They are truly professionals at this.
Harley and Ace’s parents stayed until Major’s family arrived, then promised to return today. The trio left with them.
Robbie insisted on taking Ember home around midnight. Presley and Finn were still here, but aren’t now.
“Where are the families?”
“Meeting the babies.”
His response is so blasé it takes a full five seconds to sink it. When it does, I lurch out of his grasp, almost tumbling to the floor. “Jewls delivered?”
“She did.”
“Why are we sitting here? Shouldn’t we be doing… something?”
“We wait for Major, then we do whatever they need.”
It’s a simple statement that speaks volumes.
I lean in, brushing my lips along his. “Do you want some coffee?”
“I want you to stay right here.”
He repositions me on his lap, tucking the blanket around me and resting his chin on my shoulder.
A few minutes later, Major appears with Sam and Drake at his side. Talon gets to his feet, and I scoot over for Ford to do the same. Ace gently wakes Harley, edging from under her and joining the guys.
I hold my breath as Major talks low to them. All at once, four heads drop and chests expand. Ford yanks Major into a one-armed hug.
I can’t handle the suspense, chewing on my bottom lip anxiously.
“Two boys,” Major announces proudly.
A flash of black jets by, and Harley lurches herself at him, mumbling incoherently.
“How’s Jewls?”
Major puts her down and his eyes brighten. “She’s a fucking rockstar. No matter how many times we begged her to reconsider, she never gave up.”
“What do you need from us, man?” Talon asks somberly.
“I need you to meet my sons.”
A lump lodges in my throat and I go to Ford, taking his hand. He immediately relaxes.
We file behind Major and follow him to the room.
Margo and Cindy are crowded around the bed, fussing over Jewls. Harley goes straight to them after washing her hands.
