Shock was written across his face. “Me?”
I nodded. “You.”
“Go ahead,” Shane urged. “Tell us.”
Vince turned over the test, then a smile spread across his face.
“Good?” Derrick asked.
Vince got to his feet, then leaned in and kissed me. “You’re going to be a papa.”
“Really?” I asked.
He nodded. “We’re all going to be fathers.”
There was a moment of silence, then all my mates were on me, kissing and touching my stomach.
“I love you all,” I hiccupped as the dam of emotions broke.
“We love you too,” Shane replied. “Our gorgeous omega.”
I broke into happy tears, surrounded by my mates, and knowing that our first baby was inside me.

~March~
“G’morning,” I mumbled, shuffling into the kitchen and wishing I could have some of the coffee that Shane had brewed.
“Morning,” he said softly before coming over to kiss me. “What are you doing up so early?”
I patted my stomach. “The kids and I are hungry.”
“At dark o’clock?”
I shrugged. “It’s been happening a lot. I think the kids are going to have my metabolism.”
He frowned, lifted me, and set me on the kitchen island. “What do you want? I’ll get it.”
“I usually just cut up an apple and pair it with peanut butter.”
“Ok.”
“You don’t have to,” I protested. “Don’t you have a full day? Work then a game?”
He smiled. “What kind of alpha would I be if I couldn’t get our omega such a simple snack?”
“One who also has his own things to do.”
He chuckled and moved between my legs to kiss me.
Shane’s sleep-shirt was soft under my fingers, his breath warm as it washed over my face, and my body decided it wanted something other than the apple.
“You’re hard,” Shane teased as the kiss ended.
“I noticed.”
“Want me to take care of that for you?”
