Page 92 of Taken By the Biker Daddies

“So will I,” I said, standing up. “I don’t know if I’ll make a great dad, but I’ll do my best. I’ll provide for you and the baby, of course.”

“I’m not going anywhere either,” Wade said. “I never thought of being a father, but then again, I never thought I’d fall in love again either.”

Love? This was definitely the first time I had heard Wade use that word.

“I actually have something for you.”

As Wade put his hand inside his jacket pocket, I wondered if he had a ring for Lauren, too. Instead, he showed her a carved butterfly.

“I made this for you while I was recovering from my injury,” Wade said as he placed it in Lauren’s palm. “I wanted to thank you for coming into my life and to let you know how much I’ve come to love you. I know I’ve messed up before, and I can’t promise I won’t mess up again, but I’ll do my best not to. I’ll be the best man I can be for you, Lauren. And for your child. Our child.”

“Oh, Wade.” Lauren wrapped her arms around him. “I love you, too.”

Then she looked at Jake and me.

“I love all of you,” she said, tears brimming in her eyes. “And I’d love it if all of you became the fathers of my child. Our child.”

“It would be my pleasure and my honor.” Jake hugged her and planted a kiss on the top of her head. “I actually made something for you as well.”

He picked up the parcel sitting beside the couch, something in a frame. Lauren tore off the brown paper wrapping and gave a radiant smile.

“A drawing? Of me?”

Jake nodded. “I would have tattooed it on me, but then I wouldn’t have been able to give it to you.”

Lauren chuckled. “True.”

“And I want to give you everything, all the happiness in the world. But for now, I’m giving you my heart and everything I have, all of me. Forever.”

Lauren exhaled. “Oh, Jake.”

I watched as they hugged, warmth flooding my chest. I felt the same as Wade and Jake. So what if Lauren wasn’t mine alone? All that mattered was that she was mine. Forever.

“I have something for you, too,” I said as I went down on one knee, then I took out the velvet box from my pocket.

Lauren gasped, speechless.

I opened the box so she could see the ring inside. “Lauren Andrews, I’ve loved you from the moment I saw you, and I offeryou this ring as my promise to love you and our child for as long as I live.”

I took her hand and slipped the ring on her finger. Jake went down on one knee as well, kissing her hand. Wade did the same.

“I can’t believe it,” Lauren said with tears trickling down her cheeks as she held her hand to her chest. “I never thought I’d feel so loved and so happy.”

“We love you, and we want you to be happy. We will make you happy for the rest of our lives,” Jake told her.

“We’ve got you,” Wade promised. “And you’ll always have us. Always.”

Lauren wiped her tears. “Thank you.”

Then she pulled each of us to our feet and took our hands in hers.

“The three of you have made me the luckiest and happiest woman alive,” she said, her green eyes shimmering with joy and love. “I promise I’ll do my best to make you happy, too, to be everything you need, and to love you, all of you, more and more each day.”

That was all I needed to hear, joy bursting in my chest. As I looked over at Wade and Jake, I could see how their faces were lit up as well, happier than I’d ever seen them before. From this day forward, the four of us were a family, maybe not the usual kind, but a family just the same, and nothing, and no one was ever going to tear us apart.
