My hand went to my lower belly. “I promise to be the best mother I can be to our twins. I’ll learn these powers. I’ll be strong for them. For all of us.”

“I know you will.”

Jet kissed me and kissed me and kissed me. Joyful tears slipped down my cheeks, and I clung to him with all my strength. In the middle of all the chaotic happiness swirling through the room, there was just me and him.

And I didn’t need anything else—ever again.

Seven months later

“I’m as big as a house. Get them out of me.” I leaned heavily on Kenzie’s shoulder, pulling myself up from the latest scan of my growing twins.

She laughed, helping me to get settled on my feet, which had swollen as well.

“I told you. Everything looks great. They’ll come when they’re ready.”

I groaned, putting my hand on my lower back for some support.

“There’s nothing I can do to speed things along?” I tilted my head at her, frowning as I studied her bouncy red curls.

“Well,” she smirked, “there’s walking, which I think you’ve been doing nearly nonstop, and then there’s…”

Furrowing my brow, I eyed her. “What?”

“You could have sex. Sometimes the hormones in semen can help, and you know, all the contracting.”

My brows shot to my hairline, and I let out a pained chuckle.

“Sex? Really?” MacKenzie just nodded. “Well, I mean, I haven’t been…I’m not exactly the shape I was before, now, am I?”

Kenzie snickered, licking her lips and she ducked her eyes down to the floor briefly. “Not that I love thinking about this, but you’re telling me you haven’t been sleeping with Jet?”

Burning set up shop in my cheeks. I knew it was weird for Kenzie to consider her pseudo-father as a sexual being, and the truth was not helping, either.

“Not lately, no. I’m massive. Everything hurts. And who’d want to get busy with all this?”

I gestured at my massive tummy, and one of the twins gave a solid kick in return, making me hiss.

“Ow, I didn’t mean you. I meant me,” I said to the stomach.

Kenzie smiled, laying a hand on my shoulder and rubbing it up and down. “I promise you, Senna. Jet isn’t going to turn you down, ever. You’re his mate. And he’s probably been dying for a chance to get with you.”

“He hasn’t said anything.”

She eyed me, an amused frown twisting her mouth. “Umm, does he ever? He probably wants to give you your space. Look,” she walked me toward the door, “go talk to him. It’ll be good for both of you to connect, and you might just get those babies out.”

I laughed, pausing at the threshold. “Fine, fine. But don’t think I didn’t notice how you’ve been trying to shove me out of here this entire time. Or how nice you look for a random Wednesday.”

As I raised my brows at her, Kenzie’s mouth fell open, but then she sighed and nodded gently.

“Okay, okay. Guilty. I…I have plans.”

My mouth fell open, and I gasped. “A date?! Is it Grayson?”

“Dammit! How did you know?” Kenzie balked at me before erupting into laughter.

“Oh, I’ve seen how you two act. You’re not as sneaky as you think.” I gave her a quick hug. “Have fun. I’m sure it’ll be great.”
