Shooting up to face him, my eyes went wide. “I didn’t know if you’d heard me.”

He nodded. “I heard you. And I love you. Forever.”

Tears burned in my eyes, dripping down my cheeks as I pulled him close for another kiss. And then I heard the sound of the door.

“Oops! Did you want me to come back?” MacKenzie was wheeling in a sizeable computer-like device that I had to imagine was the ultrasound machine.

Laughing against Jet’s lips, I sat back, and he gave me the space I needed on the bed to be checked out. I shook my head at Kenzie, smiling easily, and saw Kaiden behind her.

“No. Everything’s fine.” I met eyes with Kaiden. “Hey. How are you? Any lasting issues with your tastebuds?”

He chuckled. “Thankfully, no. I’m just here to help with the machine. It weighs a ton.”

Kenzie sidled up next to me, laying a hand on my shoulder. “He’s not kidding. That beast is something. But very useful. So, if we’re doing this, I need you to lie on your back and hike that shirt up for me. If you could unbutton your pants, as well?”

I nodded, and a low growl rumbled as I bared my skin. I looked up at Jet, who quickly shook the snarl away, but he was still gripping my hand and staring between me and Kaiden.

“Sorry. Just…yeah. Could you—”

Kaiden began to turn around. “I’m on it, boss.”

Jet smiled, his shoulders relaxing. “Thank you.”

“All right.” Kenzie sat down on a little stool she’d pulled up next to the bed and held up the transducer over my stomach. “Here we go.”

Cool jelly was squeezed out onto my skin, immediately creating goosebumps. Then, as the device made contact with me, images appeared on the small screen of the large machine. Gray and white outlines and shapes appeared in the sea of black, and I couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

“Holy shit,” Kenzie whispered, and my heart rate skyrocketed.

I squeezed Jet’s hand and stared wide-eyed at her. My gut twisted as her mouth hung open, still not speaking.

“What, Kenzie! You can’t just say holy shit and then nothing. I’m freaking out.”

She seemed to snap out of it and looked over at me with a smile. “Sorry, sorry. You’re okay. You’re all okay. Umm, okay, see those?”

She pointed at the image of my uterus on the screen, twisting the probe to a different angle. As she did, Kenzie revealed something that looked like two distinct halves or chambers in there. My heart skipped a beat as my entire being absolutely flared, white-hot like the sun.

“Wait, is that…”

I couldn’t finish, but Kenzie swiftly took over for me.

“Two sacs.”

Jet’s hand tightened on mine, and he sat forward, closing in on the screen. “Two?”

Kenzie nodded. “Two.”

“We’re having…” His voice trailed away.

“Twins?!” Kaiden hurried over from his spot across the room, looking at the screen with his brows up to his hairline.

His stare went to Kenzie, and she held his hand. I chuckled through the shock, looking at Jet with a smile. Disbelief and joy swirled together, and in one collective sound, the room filled with that powerful word.

“Twins.”

Suddenly, the room erupted into cheers, and the stragglers who’d clearly been at the door this entire time burst into Jet’s bedroom. I could barely think over the chorus of hoots and hollers as Geo and Orion rushed up to Jet. They pulled him to his feet, bouncing up and down with him as they yelled congratulatory howls.

“Congrats!” Geo and Orion hugged him in an awkward twofer, and I laughed as the tears fell. “You’ve done damn well, Alpha!”
