Page 115 of Packed Up In Vegas

“We absolutely will,” Kai promised.

When Luke departed, Kai retreated back to us.

“I feel like I missed key details.”

“In fairness, you’ve been sleeping a lot.” Kai dropped a quick kiss on my mouth. “We cleared a half million between our pay and the tips.”

I bolted upright. “Holy shit! Really?”

“Yep. And these—” He tapped the envelopes. “—are our freedom in print.”

I swiveled my head toward Miles. “Are you still going to work for them?”

“For a while. I can double shift it while we get set up, and I can make sure we don’t touch too much of our nest egg.”

If I weren’t so exhausted, I would have wanted to start work on everything right now, but I stayed quiet knowing my pack wouldn’t let me even if I were up for it. They were very serious about rest.

As comfortable as the penthouse was, I was eager to be back in our own home. I peeked over the edge of my blankets and nudged Diego with my toes. “Nest?”

“Ready to head home, precious?”

“Yes, please.”

Home with all my alphas sounded like the best thing in the world.

Two months later

“Why does three minutes feel like it’s taking a million years?” Diego sighed.

“Because we’re waiting for the best news ever?” Kai replied.

Diego laughed. “That was mostly rhetorical.”

We were all waiting in a room at the omega clinic. I was curled up on Miles’s lap, my fingers locked with Amir’s while Kai and Diego paced.

The timer we had set up went off, but the doctor didn’t return.

Diego slumped onto one of the empty chairs. “This is torture.”

“Exterior torture for you. I’m the one waiting to see what’s going on in there.” I patted my stomach. My scent had just started to come in, though I could have guessed something was going on even without that. I couldn’t put my finger on it, but I felt different.

Everyone straightened when the door opened after a quick knock. “Sorry to keep you waiting. We had some anomalous results.”

“Anomalous how?” Kai asked.

“Callie’s levels are exceptionally high for what we would expect this early in the pregnancy. It’s a good indication she’s got twins in there.”

My heart cranked into gear.

Pregnant.

With twins.

Holy shit.

My pack erupted with excitement, four alphas hugging me tightly.

“Congratulations.” The doctor grinned at our exuberance. “If you’d like to know which alpha markers showed up to indicate parentage, I have those in here.”
