"It'll take less than five minutes," I assure her.

"That can't be right," Anastasia says, frowning at the stick. She's sitting on the edge of the tub.

"It's not like we swapped it out for a fake," Wolfe says, laughing behind his hand. He holds his hand up for a high-five. We clap, and Ana glares.

"Are you unhappy?" Cas asks, tossing an arm around her shoulder and pulling her into his chest. "Is it a bad thing if you are pregnant?"

She's quiet for so long that I start to panic. Maybe Wolfe and I are assholes. I know I've got fifteen years on her, but I'm about to bubble over with pure fucking glee.

"No," Ana says, her eyes fly up to mine. "It's not a bad thing at all. I just don't understand. I didn't do this on purpose…"

"None of us think that," Wolfe assures her. He kneels in front of her and kisses the hell out of her.

"No birth control outside of abstinence is one-hundred percent effective," Cas adds like he's our sex-ed teacher. He shrugs. "Sometimes things happen."

"We'll check in with Lydia in the morning," I say, pulling her up and into my arms.

"Okay," Ana agrees.

I help Anastasia into my bed and lie down, facing her. Cas and Rafe pile in next to us.

"I guess you fuckers better get serious about filing the paperwork for pack marriage," Anastasia says, grinning at me. "I'm not popping out a kid unless we're married."

"I'll print the application form in the morning," Cas says.

Wolfe snorts.

I fall asleep holding the woman I love. Having kids will be great, but I've got all I really need right here in my arms.

Wolfe

Six Months Later

My head pops around the corner, carefully watching for Evie and Anastasia. Eileen, the boss's secretary, has a surprise planned for both of them. The others are helping set everything up. I'm on duty ensuring they don't stumble upon something they're not supposed to and ruin the surprise.

Evie is two months further along than Anastasia. She looks like she's about to pop any day. They're in the cafeteria, destroying whatever dessert is in front of them, and it makes me smile like an idiot.

I'm so glad to see Anastasia eating regularly. I get that she doesn't eat much when she's stressed, and lately she's had a very healthy appetite. Meaning we've lessened her stress and she's happy here.

I frown when I spot Luke approaching their table. He looks at me and winks before guiding Evie off toward the downstairs offices.

I smirk and head for Anastasia. That doesn't sound like a bad planat all.

I walk up behind her. My hands hit her shoulders as I lean in close, whispering, "Boo."

"You dick," Ana hisses. "Ohmigod, you're so lucky I don't have to pee."

I snort. She really is completely fucking adorable at the most random times.

"Come on, dollface." I offer her a hand up. She comes to me easily.

I grin.

She's only six months and some change, but we doubled down… We didn't just knock her up once. We went for the gold. She's pregnanttwiceover.

Twin freaking girls, and I couldn't be happier. All I care about is that they're healthy and she's healthy. The first few months were rough with morning sickness, but she's been doing great recently.
