Konrad walks into the room. “It seems that she has a bad case of food poisoning, but she can go home. You need to make sure she stays hydrated.” He hands Darren a piece of paper. “This is meds for her stomach in case she gets sick again. I’ll come by tomorrow morning and check on her.” He smiles at me.

“Tell Etta congrats on the baby, well to the both of you.”

Since I have been home, I haven’t left the bed. Well, they won’t let me unless it’s to go to the bathroom and they go with me, like literally stand next to me in case I fall.

I won’t deny that I love being babied by them as I know it makes them feel better. “Can we start Grey’s Anatomy together?” I ask, my finger over the first episode to start it.

“Yeah, go ahead.” Walker chuckles at my excitement.

Derek flashes over the screen and I get all of the warm and fuzzies. “I know why you love this show,” Darren says.

I freeze. “Uh, no, it’s not.”

He laughs. “Yeah fucking right.” He puts his arms behind his head. “Just watch, you will be just as addicted.”

Hours later

Walker turns off the TV, mad. “Well, Derek is a fucker for treating Meredith like that. I hope she finds her a man to fuck him up,” he growls.

I bust out laughing, holding my sore stomach. “Oh my God, I told you you’ll be hooked.”

Darren chimes in, “Well it’s true, he just left her after she finally let him into her heart. That shit is not okay.”

“Why must you destroy my heart?” I groan at them being so sweet and cute.

Walker turns the TV back on. “Are you done being mad?”

He gives me the stink eye. “If you must fucking know, yes, I am. I hope she fucks everyone in that hospital to piss him off.”

I snort laughing so hard. “You guys are killing me, I’ve created monsters.” I rub my eyes from the tears rolling down my face.

Walker plops back down beside me, pulling me across his chest. “Be good baby and stop making fun of us. It’s your fault for making us watch your chick show.”

“I’ll pretend that I forced you for your sake.”

He turns it back on and both never blink. I have watched and watched this so many times, it’s fun to see it through their eyes.

It's midnight before I can even convince them to go to bed. “How do I fucking sleep after this?” Darren aggressively fluffs his pillow; Walker turns off the TV and lamp.

I bite my lip trying not to laugh at them both. “Goodnight.” I kiss both of their cheeks, staring into the dark ceiling. “Fucking chick show,” Darren growls and I can’t hold it in anymore and they join me laughing.

“Alright I’m good now.” I yawn and snuggle into them both. “My feet are cold. Do we have an extra blanket?”

Walker moves to the end of the bed and comes back with a small throw blanket. He rolls me into a burrito and pushes my feet into Darren’s legs. He hisses but doesn’t move them. “I love you both,” I whisper, snuggling up in the warmth.

“Love you baby and your cold ass feet,” Darren says.

“I just love you.”

CHAPTER 15

SUMMER

A FEW MONTHS LATER

“Good morning my beautiful girls,” Darren says against my stomach. I wake with a smile, running my fingers through his hair. My baby bump seemed to happen overnight. Walker places his hand underneath my belly. “Have you been kicking momma again?”

“She is kicking.” I take their hands placing them where she’s moving.
