“Sunny!”

They all greeted her, getting down on one knee, as my heart threatened to beat out of my chest.

“Sol,” Colt said. “We have something very important to ask you.”

“We were wondering if you think it would be ok…” Atlas said, glancing up at me. “If we asked your mommy a question.”

“We won’t ask it unless you say it's ok,” Theo said, holding out a necklace for her and leaned in closer to her.

They whispered amongst themselves until she squealed, attempting to hug all of them. They each gave her a kiss on hercheek, handing something to her before she turned around with the biggest smile on her face and a poster board that read.

Marry us?

I knew it was coming, but the tears slid down my cheeks. They all got down on their knees again.

“Nova, our brave and stubborn woman,” Colt said, opening a box that had a simple white gold band.

“Our Starlight and our peace,” Atlas said, opening a box to reveal another band.

“Will you do us the honor of making us complete, making us a family? Marry us?” Theo asked, opening a box that revealed a modest diamond.

I was speechless. I wasn’t expecting this, but I knew I wasn’t going to live my life without them.

“Yes,” I whispered.

Sol squealed, they got up from their knees, Theo lifted me up. Atlas picked Sol up and we all hugged each other. I was surrounded by love as we laughed, cried a little and basked in our joy. We knew the three of us couldn't get married legally, but to us, this was all that mattered.

Theo set me down and my cheeks grew red.

“Shall we go celebrate?” Atlas asked Sol.

“You and Momma should go celebrate,” she grinned.

“Yes,” I snapped, getting looks of concern from the guys. “That's a great idea.”

“Congratulations!” Iris said, walking to us.

I gave her a hug, wishing I could just tell them why I was in a hurry. Now that I wasn’t distracted, I was feeling everything. Colt was watching me as Iris said her congrats to everyone.

“Are you ok?” He looked at me.

“Yeah, I’m ready to celebrate now,” I said, getting hot. “Like, let's skip dinner and go home.”

His eyebrows shot up.

“What's the hurry?” He narrowed his eyes at me.

I looked to see Iris and Sol talking to Theo.

“I didn’t know what you guys had planned and I have something in me,” I said quickly.

“What do you have in you?” Colt looked way too amused.

“Please don’t make me say it, just use your imagination,” I said, as Iris and Sol came towards us.

Sol was so excited, and it was another ten minutes before Izzy and Sol left. I was so horny I thought I was going to die.

“Our wife is a naughty girl,” Colt said, pushing me against his car.
