“On my way,” Dr. Baldwin said then hung up.

“How exactly is Damon going to have the baby?” Delta scratched his head. “I mean, where is it going to come out of?”

Dr. Baldwin had explained how the dark line on Damon’s stomach—the one that stretched from his navel to his pelvic bone—would open, kinda of like a C-section, and that was how the baby would be born.

However his grandchild had to come into the world, Kalen didn’t care. Just as long as the pup and Damon were okay.

Delta’s brows shot up when they heard Damon cursing up a storm. “That doesn’t sound good.”

Considering their rooms weren’t that close, and the human could hear his son, that said something.

“It’s very painful to bring a child into the world, muffin.”

His mate glanced cautiously at him. “Are you one hundred percent sure I can’t get pregnant? Because from the way Damon is cursing at Casimir, if there’s even a remote possibility, you can forget about me dropping my underwear for you ever again.”

He growled and yanked Delta close then cupped his nicely rounded ass. “You’d really keep this from me?”

Delta groaned, pushing his ass against Kalen’s hands. Fuck. If his mate kept making those sounds and grinding against his palms, they were going to end up in bed.

“Answer my question first, big guy.” His mate pushed backward like he was desperate to get fucked.

As badly as Kalen wanted to bend his mate over and pound into his tight ass, they needed to head to Damon and Casimir’s room to watch the birth of their grandchild.

But it wasn’t easy letting Delta go. Not when he looked so needy. Kalen nipped him just below the ear, growling softly. He couldn’t help it. They were newly mated, and Kalen wanted to fuck him on every flat or curved surface in his bedroom and on his balcony.

But he needed to talk with Delta about “stuff” first. As well as what had transpired in the kitchen that led up to his mate getting shot.

Alan was still locked in one of the guest bedrooms, the windows nailed shut. If Damon hadn’t gone into labor, Kalen would be dealing with all of that right now.

“I promise you can’t get pregnant, muffin. The only reason Damon is about to give birth is because of a…very complicated story. I’ll tell you about it after we watch our grandchild come into this world.” He leaned down to kiss his mate, but the guy shoved away from him.

“You don’t seriously expect me to go in there, do you?” Delta actually paled…again.

“It’s a family gathering, sweetheart. We’re all going to be in there.”

They’d discussed it one night at the dinner table, leaving the decision up to Damon and Casimir. Kalen had told them there would be no hard feelings if they wanted privacy during childbirth, but the two said they wanted family around them.

“I just…” Delta glanced away.

Kalen tucked his fingers under Delta’s chin, coaxing his mate to look at him. “What is it, hon?”

This still didn’t feel real to Kalen. His mate was really standing in front of him. The most beautiful man he’d ever seen.

The only time in Kalen’s life when he hadn’t been on the lookout for his mate was when he was married.

Chelsea would forever hold a special place in Kalen’s heart. He had loved her deeply, and she had given him three amazing sons, but she hadn’t been his mate. Even while married to her, it always felt as if something was missing inside of Kalen, but not once had he made her feel like she wasn’t everything to him.

But now, for the first time in his life, he finally felt complete.

“I know we’re mates, but we just met,” Delta explained. “This is an intimate, joyous moment for your family. I don’t belong in there. I’m practically a stranger, and I refuse to—”

Kalen kissed the doubt right out of his mate. The man was insane if he thought he didn’t belong here. Delta stood at the head of this family, right at Kalen’s side.

“You’re a Frost, Delta,” he said after he pulled his lips away. “Whether you’ve been here a second or a decade, you’re a part of this family.”

“Are you guys coming?” Jaytee asked when he stepped into the doorway. He cocked his head to the side and studied Delta in Kalen’s arms. Then he smiled. “Despite that stupid conversation in the hallway, you two look good together. I’m really happy for you, Dad. For both of you.”

“Thanks.” Kalen smiled, giving a single nod. It meant everything to him that his sons liked and got along with his mate. “I can’t join you though.”
