“You can learn to drive now,” Cain states with a waggle of his eyebrows that has me glowering at him.

“And you can apply to become emancipated,” Enzo tacks on.

“Enzo!” I shout, and at the same time, Cain mumbles under his breath, “Someone isn’t getting any sex tonight.”

Remind me again why I thought dating four guys was a good idea, ‘cause I’m seriously reconsidering the brilliance of it at this moment.

“I think you need actual parents for that to apply,” Luc rebuffs.

“Not that I’d let you legally separate yourself from me anyway,” I direct at Luc with a pointed finger and a stern expression, only making him tilt his head back and laugh.

“I can also legally drink in the presence of a parent,” Luc pipes up, earning his own dark glower from me.

“Good thing I don’t see any parents around then.” Undeterred, he just gives me that sappy pleading look until I cave. “Fine.Onebeer.”

When I notice Oliver holding up two fingers just out of my line of sight, I jab an elbow into his shoulder.

“What?” he laughs as Luc hurries off to join Jon and the kids, probably before I can change my mind. “We’re here to keep an eye on him, and it’s not like he doesn’t have the odd beer, anyway.”

“What?!” I exclaim.

“Oh, shit. I thought we weren’t telling her that,” Enzo laughs.

“I really don’t like when you all gang up on me,” I grumble.

Oliver and Enzo laugh, while Dante pulls me into his arms.

“I thought youlovedwhen we all gang up on you,” Cain purrs, his voice dipping low so only we can hear, taking on a very different meaning from what I meant.

The day goes by in a rush of laughter, singinghappy birthday, and smiles so wide I swear my grin is permanently stuck to my face. All of my new family are here—the Rejects, the kids, Luc, Evie, Marcus, Dante, Cain, Oliver, and Enzo. We’ve come a long way in the last few months, and even though we have plenty of work ahead of us still, I relish the challenge. With the guys at my side, there isn’t anything we can’t overcome.

Although Dante makes me question that later that night when, after a steamy round of sex, he slides down my body and pushes his cum back into my swollen vagina.

“Dante,” I groan.

“Shhh,mia vita. Gotta keep my cum in you for as long as possible if I want a baby.”

“If you want a what?!” I shriek, still breathless, as I rocket upwards.

“A baby,” he clarifies, like it’s no big deal.

“You want a baby?!” I gape at him, still struggling to process what he’s saying. We’ve never talked about this before. He’s never so much as hinted at wanting a baby or children. Shouldn’t we start by buying a house plant or a dog before jumping all the way to ababy?!

He shrugs a shoulder. “A miniature Sawyer would be pretty cute.”

“I have to agree with that,” Oliver unhelpfully pipes up.

“A baby sounds good,” Cain says far too casually.

Have all of them lost their minds?!

Since Enzo is the only one who has remained silent, I turn to him with pleading eyes, begging him to see reason. Only, when his gaze rakes over my naked body, hovering on my stomach, do I know all hope is lost.

“The thought of seeing you swollen with our child gets me all hot and bothered.”

“Seriously?” I gape at each of them. “You want a kid?” We’re still living in Oliver’s tiny house, albeit we put a much bigger bed in one of the bedrooms, and we are in the process of building our own home by the river, directly in the middle of Reject and Antonelli territory. Not that that is such a big issue any longer. Even so, somewhere in the middle of the city just seemed fitting.

“Probably more than one,” Enzo responds.
