“It’s too bad you didn’t have another doll that looked like Code. You could have done some funny scenes with them,” Karissa giggled.

Glitch grinned and pulled out her phone. “Oh, now you just gave me some ideas. I’m sure I could come up with something. You know, once I can buy shit on my own again.”

“Oh shit, I think I just peed myself,” Royal gasped out, making them all turn to look at her. But then she stopped and got a weird look on her face as she looked down at herself. Glitch saw the shock, then fear, and then excitement in her eyes. Glitch instantly sobered. “Uh, guys, I think my water just broke,” Royal told them all.

All laughter stopped, and everyone stared at her wide-eyed. Then Wren and Win both snorted. “Damn, who knew the sight of a sex doll wearing a strap-on would get you going,” Win gasped out.

“With this bunch, if it didn’t, I would be worried,” Wren added.

Royal grinned. “I don’t care what got this started, I need to get out of these clothes and get to the hospital. My doctor wants me there as soon as possible in case of any issues.”

“Prospect!” Karissa barked.

“I heard,” Tom said calmly. “I’ve already alerted Prez, we just need to wait until they get back to take you there.”

“I can’t wait that long,” Royal snapped, annoyed and sounding a little panicked.

“Of course not,” Glitch agreed, giving Tom a shut-your-mouth glare. “We’re going to get you to the hospital as quickly as we can.”

“Good… oh fuck,” she hissed, bending over and grabbing her belly as a contraction hit her. Harlow instantly took her hand and soothed her through it. Esme went to her other side, rubbing her back and murmuring soft words. Karissa, Glitch, Scarlett, and the twins all looked at each other, unsure of what to do. “Damn, that hurt,” Royal finally breathed as the contraction subsided. “I need my bag, and someone needs to stay with Ronin when he gets home from daycare.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll make sure he’s taken care of,” Karissa assured her. “Let’s get you downstairs. Tom, send Sam for the bag,” she added.

Tom looked like he was going to argue, no doubt because she wasn’t one of the brothers, but he must have thought better of it because he just nodded and pulled out his phone to text Sam. In the meantime, Scarlett and Esme helped Royal down the stairs, with Harlow carrying baby Harley right behind them.

Glitch glanced around Code’s room and saw a small puddle on the floor where Royal had been standing. She grabbed a towel from the bathroom and quickly cleaned it up before closing his door and heading downstairs. Royal was now standing in the middle of the room, breathing heavily and moaning softly as another contraction worked its way through her.

Glitch had no issues with kids, but this right here was one of the reasons she wasn’t sure she would have them. Damn, it looked like it hurt. And Royal was having two of them!

Harlow looked over at Tom and instructed, “Go get the car. We need to get her to the hospital.”

“We can’t until—”

“Listen here, Prospect,” Harlow snapped at him, irritation making her eyes spark. “You want to try telling that to the woman who is about to push two babies out of her vagina? Who is currently experiencing so much pain that you would cry like a baby yourself if you had to go through it? I don’t care that Savage isn’t here. We are going to the hospital. She is having twins. Twins means complications, and complications means she needs to be very closely monitored by medical professionals the entire time she’s in labor. So you are going to go get that SUV, and we are going to the hospital. Do you understand me?”

“Damn, remind me not to piss her off,” Wren whispered beside Glitch, who nodded her agreement. Harlow was one protective mama bear, and you did not get in her way. Ever.

Tom, though, had clearly run out of brain cells and common sense because he shook his head. “No. Prez said you need to wait here, and that’s what we’re doing. They’ll be back in a couple of hours, and the babies won’t be here before then. This stuff can take days, right? And her water only just broke, so we have lots of time.”

“This is why we don’t listen to men. They have dicks, and their brains seem to either reside inside them or in some hidden place because they’re definitely not up top very often,” Glitch sighed.

Tom glared at her. “I have orders—”

“Yes, and you don’t want to piss off the big scary President,” Karissa interrupted. “I’m telling you right now, we are taking Royal to the hospital one way or another. Help, or get out of the way.”

Tom glared at her, unintimidated. “I’m following orders and—”

“Would someone just knock him the hell out already?” Royal snapped, before letting out a low groan. “Fuck, they’re stronger and faster. We need to go. I’m not having these babies here.”

“Done,” Karissa said easily, reaching out and gripping the pressure point in Tom’s neck, dropping him to the floor almost instantly. “Alright, let’s get going,” Karissa said, dusting her hands off.

Glitch looked at her and laughed. “Damn, I forgot how slick you were at that.”

“I’ll go get the SUV,” Karissa said with a smug smile. “Let’s get you to the hospital, mama, and have these babies. Glitch, you staying here?”

She thought about it briefly. Here, she was safe, but if Karissa was putting herself on the line, she was going to make sure they were covered. “I’m coming. Let me just grab my laptop, I’ll be right back.” Karissa nodded, and Glitch raced up the stairs.

When she came back down, Karissa was in the driver’s seat of the SUV, with Esme beside her, Harlow in the back with Royal, while baby Harley was strapped into one of the infant car seats, no doubt one of the ones for the twins. Scarlett, Win, and Wren were in Scarlett’s car waiting for her. She quickly jumped in the passenger seat, and they were off. Well, almost. The Prospect at the gate unwisely tried to stop them, and Glitch was done. She climbed out of the car and put her gun to his temple. “Open the gate,” she ordered. “Now.”
