“You’re fucking kidding me,” I say, staring down at matching pregnancy tests, both of them with double blue lines.

“I know I shouldn't be laughing but oh my gods! What the fuck are the chances?” Spencer is laughing so hard he’s practically wheezing, tears streaking down his face. “You kept saying being with an omega had its perks, was this one of them?”

“This is not what I had in mind,” I tell him, swinging him around so we’re face to face. I push his hips against the counter, pinning him in place. Spencer starts to sober as he looks down at me. “But I don’t mind, not even a little bit. My partner pregnant with me at the same time? It’s every omega’s dream, isn’t it? Having someone who loves and understands?”

Spencer’s fingers run through my beard. “This is all very scary and sudden and overwhelming,” Spencer confesses softly, a surreal smile on his face. “But I’m so fucking happy, Cade. I came on this vacation feeling terrified and anxious and I’m leaving this vacation with a man I’m quickly falling for with two babies on the way. It feels fake, like someone is going to jump out with a camera any second telling me it was all a prank.”

“If that happens I promise you I’ll punch them straight in the dick.” Spencer snorts, shaking his head. “I’d punch so many dicks for you, sweetheart.”

He pretends to swoon and I catch him, keeping him pinned against the counter. I kiss him before pulling him into our cabin.

“You seem to be feeling better.”

“I am. I think the worst of it has passed for now. Would you like to go to the observation deck?”

“I’d love to,” I say and realize with a start that the three words Iwantedto say were actuallyI love you. I take Spencer’s hand inmy own, kissing the back of it, feeling warm from the top of my head to the toes of my feet.

I love him and I plan on showing him just how much with every breath I take. I want every single one of our days to be just as wonderful as this vacation. Spencer won’t regret taking a chance on coming on this vacation. This is the start of the rest of our lives.

Chapter Ten

Spencer

The last two and a half months have been a whirlwind. Cade has moved all his things into my house. It’s incredible that we’ve somehow lived in the same town but only met when we both took a vacation away! Having him here has been the most wonderful change. I love having him here, I love having him in my space, I love that he’s made this place intoour home.

I’ve had to take an extended break from work because I’m already fucking huge. I love being a cat but right now, my body isn’t the happiest with me. My pregnancy will only last another couple weeks so my body is rapidly forming another person inside of me, stretching me to my seams. Thankfully, the school was incredibly understanding and I’ll be back at the beginning of next fall.

I walk through the hall, following the sound of Cade humming to himself. I find him in our baby room, putting together our second crib.

To say it was a shock to find out we were both pregnant was an understatement but at this point, the news has already sunk in. I can’t imagine being happier than I am right now. But that happiness doesn’t stop me from being jealous as hell at the sight of my mate.

I lean my hip against the doorframe, pouting. Cade looks exactly the same even after two months. Apparently manatee pregnancies take a year which means he won’t be showing formonths. He’s still able to do everything he could do before getting pregnantandhe hasn’t had a single symptom so far. I love that for him, but I’m still jealous. I was so fucking sick for the first month, this month I’m growing super fucking huge. Who knows what I’ll be dealing with next before the baby comes.

Cade finally looks up, finding me watching him. “Hey, sweetheart. What’s got you looking like that?”

“You,” I tell him, giving him an even bigger pout. “How dare you look so good while being just as pregnant as me.”

Cade chuckles softly, standing up and putting the tools down. He steps over to me, wrapping an arm around my waist. My swollen belly bumps his, further proving my point.

“I still have ten months,” he says softly. “Just you wait. I’ll be looking like a beached manatee in no time.”

“You better,” I tell him with a whine. “I wanna be the one to take care of you for once.”

“You will,” he says, leaning up and stealing a kiss. “You look beautiful today.”

I shake my head. “I’m huge.”

“Yes, you are. That doesn’t stop you from being beautiful. And your scent is growing stronger every day. I can’t get enough of it.”

His praises wash over me. A moment ago, I was annoyed and pouting, but suddenly, all of that fades away, leaving a warmthin the pit of my gut. How can I be upset when Cade is looking at me like that?

“You’re so fucking beautiful, Spencer. When you’re doing day to day things, I have such a hard time keeping my eyes off of you. Your body is a temple and if you ever need a reminder, I’m more than willing to get on my knees and worship it as thoroughly as it deserves.”

I tilt my head back, letting out a whimper as my body sparks with excitement. The motion draws Cade’s mouth and I lift my hands, cupping the back of his head, making sure he’s not planning on going anywhere.

I suck in a sharp breath as his teeth dig into my skin. My stomach quivers with arousal and everything I was worried about simply slips away.

“Fuck,” I gasp out as Cade works on sucking a mark into the sensative skin at my throat. “Fuck, Cade. That feels so good. Mark me.”
