“Sorry,” I laugh, knowing I’m hot-boxing this car with my perfume.

“Don’t be.” He inhales deeply, groaning as he lays his head back against the headrest, eyes closed.

“To answer your question, I’d like to stay at home and raise our kids.” I shrug. “Back when I was just getting to Calling Wood as a student, my plan was to get my education and work for a few years before settling down to start a family. As time went on, I wondered if that was even going to be a possibility for me, seeing as how I thought I was broken.”

“You're not broken,” Thomas insists.

“I know,” I tell him, giving his hand a squeeze. “Anyway. It made me think. And I decided that if I was to finally get my heat and be able to have kids, I wanted that. I did end up losing hope, though.” I shift in my seat to look forward as tears sting my eyes. “Until I met you guys.”

We’re all quiet, sitting here in comfortable silence until I speak again.

“I’ve worked for the past five years and love my job, but I’m ready to be a mom. So, I’d like, if you guys are okay with it, to have a baby with each of you?” I ask, taking my seat belt off so I can turn my body around. “If you're okay with knowing. And I’d like them one after the other, maybe a year break in between so I’m not pregnant for three years straight.” I laugh.

The three of them look at each other, smiling so damn wide I think I’m going to cry.

“Sounds perfect to us, Sweets,” Nolan says.And yup, there goes a tear.

Aiden gets out of the car and makes his way around to my side. He’s opening the door and scooping me up in his arms before I even have time to think.

“Hey,” I laugh. “What are you doing?”

“Carrying my baby mama,” he replies, placing a kiss on my forehead as he continues to walk with me bridal style.

“Don’t fight it.” Nolan chuckles as he joins us on our left.

“If it wasn’t him, it would have been me,” Thomas chuckles, joining us on my right.

“You’re all crazy, you know that, right?” I ask, muttering.

“We know,” Aiden chuckles.

I sigh, not bothering to fight because, who am I kidding, I love it.

“Now, can you let me down, please?” I question when we’re in the building.

“Fine,” Aiden grumbles as he places me on my feet.

“Hi,” the nurse greets us with a friendly smile. “How can I help you today?”

“We have an appointment at two. Well, not us, she does.” Aiden points to me. “Our Omega. She’s pregnant.”

“Congratulations,” she laughs. “What’s your name, dear?”

“Violet Hart,” I tell her.

She looks down at the computer and frowns. “No Violet Hart here. We do have Violet, but not with that last name.”

Aiden clears his throat. “It should be under Violet Wheeler.”

“Ah, there we are. Violet Wheeler. If you fill out these forms, we can get you back into an exam room.”

She hands me the forms, and I’m still confused as I look up at my Alpha. “Really?” I sigh.

“You're going to become a Wheeler anyways,” Thomas responds in his defense. “Why not start now?”

“Crazy, I tell you. Crazy.” I shake my head.

“I don’t know how to tell you this, Sweets. But this is only the beginning. You remember how they were when they found out you were their scent match?”
