Kaden looks between them both before looking at me. “You’re right.”

“I’m always right,” I tease.

“Middle names?” Kaden asks me.

“What about Brett?”

“After your dad?”

“Yeah. Do you think he’ll like that?”

“I think he’ll love it.”

The thought of making my dad happy heals something in my chest.

“Dionysus Brett Scott.” I say his name out loud, testing it out.

“Works perfectly,” Kaden says.

“What about Henry’s middle name?” I ask him.

“Creed,” Kaden states.

“Like from Apollo Creed from Rocky?”

“I forget you’ve watched those movies probably as many times as I have.” He chuckles.

“Henry Creed Scott. It suits him.”

“You don’t want to hyphenate their last names? Kincaid-Scott?”

“No. Because I figure, one day, we’ll get married, and then I’ll be a Scott, so it makes sense for us all to have the same name.”

Kaden is staring at me, and his eyes look a bit watery. “You’d marry me?”

“It’ll be a definite yes, whenever you ask me.”

“You won’t be waiting long,” he murmurs before pressing a soft but lingering kiss on my mouth. “I love you,” he tells me. “So fucking much.”

“Love you too.”

There’s a knock on the hospital room door, and we part to see Lo coming in, who’s directly followed by Ares, Ari, Zeus, Cam, and lastly my dad.

“Oh my God!” Ari exclaims in a hushed whisper, coming straight over to the bed. “Look at them both! They’re so beautiful. And so are you! How the hell do you look so good after birthing two babies?”

I run a hand over my tangled hair. “I really don’t, but I appreciate the sentiment.”

She rolls her eyes at me good-naturedly, then presses a kiss to my cheek.

“We brought gifts,” Cam tells me.

I see my brothers all placing a variety of gift bags, stuffed animals, what appears to be a box of my favorite chocolates on the provided table and setting down balloons that sayTwins!andDouble the Trouble!

“Where are the girls?” I ask Cam.

“We left them with Elle. Didn’t think you’d want them climbing all over you today, but we’re gonna bring them tomorrow, if that’s okay?”

“Of course it is. My boys need to meet their older cousins ASAP.”
