Page 163 of A Chance at Love for the Twin Alphas

“You certainly shouldn’t do any physical work.” I frown. “The doctor almost got a heart attack when he saw your hand. Lay it low.”

“You can supervise everything,” Elodie offers.

He beams. “I’d love that. And you need to wear matching T-shirts.”

I can’t believe him. He has the weirdest ideas sometimes. “I’m not going to wear matching T-shirts.”

“We could have a funny print on them,” Tony offers. “Like Marcel’s bitches.”

Dalila snorts into her glass of water. “I actually love that.”

“As if Elise would let you wear such a shirt,” I point out.

“Babe.” Elodie looks at me with raised eyebrows. “Better not tell Elise about Tony’s idea because she would be the first to organize the shirts and then wear one herself. She probably would even name us his fan club and call it ‘The Hot Chocolate Prince Club’ or something.”

“She’s a girl after my own heart.” Serenade nods.

“Who is a girl after your own heart, you little imp of mischief?” Dad asks. He and Mom just came to the dining hall and sit down at our table.

“The title little imp of mischief will go to Elise soon, I think.” Serenade smirks.

“I see,” Mom says. “It’s good to see you all get along so well.”

Dad smiles and kisses Mom’s hand. “How lively it has become, hasn’t it?”

“It certainly has. Our pup will be lucky. She will have two fantastic older brothers, two sisters, and a whole bunch of uncles and aunts.”

“She will be our little princess,” I say happily. I can’t wait for her to be born. I already know I will spoil her rotten. Mom went through so many hardships. It’s a miracle she got pregnant. Maybe it was a gift from the Goddess because she has been the best mom to us.

“I can’t wait for her to be here!” Tony smiles brightly. “We should throw a party.”

“A baby shower?” Mom looks skeptical. “I’m not a fan of those.”

“Then how about we just celebrate with the pack and have a garden party?” Tony offers. “We have a lot to celebrate! A new alpha pup will be born soon, Henry and I found our mates, we have a new gamma couple, and we all returned from a battle we won.”

“He is not wrong,” Elodie says. “That way Elise, Dalila, Marcel, and I can get to know the pack members better.”

“Then it’s set,” Dad agrees readily. I know he wants Mom to celebrate a bit. She is always stepping back and humble to the extent she tends to put herself last.

“I think I could live with such a party,” Mom agrees.

We should totally go and buy some presents for her.Tony links me.And have a little mini baby shower during the party—just between us.

Yes, this is a great idea. Let’s take our mates and Serenade along, too,I say.And Marcel and Elise. I think it would be great to go shopping with everyone and then maybe go for a beer.

Good plan, brother. Tony nods. “Let’s do it.”

Tonywrapshisarmsaround me from behind and kisses my neck. “No way.” I push him back with a laugh. “You have a class to go to.”

“Okay.” He peppers me with kisses. “But once I’m back, I want to—”
