“It’s real, Belle.” Amber grabbed a little of her arm’s flesh.
“Ouch. It is real.” She kissed her sister on the cheek. “We’re going to have babies together.”
“Stay here, Belle. I’ll be right back.” Amber ran out of the bathroom.
“Are you still sick?”
No answer. Was she going to get them crackers? Belle’s stomach was settling down.
She couldn’t stop looking at the tiny stick in her hand.
She heard footsteps headed her way.
Shane and Corey appeared at the door.
“Baby, are you okay?” Shane reached over and wiped a tear from her cheek. “Amber said to come right away.”
Corey grabbed her hand. “What’s wrong, sweetheart?”
“It’s just…just so…I am…” She couldn’t get the words out, so she held up the stick. “I peed on this. Look.”
Realization came over both her guys’ faces.
Shane spoke first. “You mean?”
Corey smiled. “Really?”
She nodded.
They both picked her up, showering her in kisses. They spun her around in circles in the tiny bathroom.
Suddenly, they stopped.
Shane’s eyes widened. “Oh my God, should you lie down, Belle?”
“How about a cold cloth?” Corey touched her cheek.
Amber appeared at the doorway with her three husbands. “We’ve been through that already, fellas. She’ll be fine. She’s just pregnant.”
“Just?” Shane laughed. “This is the happiest day in my life.”
“Mine, too,” Corey chimed in.
The three Stone brothers stepped forward, congratulating them.
“Okay, men.” Amber smiled. “This isn’t that big of a bathroom. Let’s let the mother-to-be have a moment with her guys. Besides, I need you to finish cooking breakfast.”
“Are you okay, baby?” Emmett asked, putting his arm around Amber’s shoulder.
“I just didn’t know bacon could smell like that, honey.” Amber turned to her. “Trust me, Sis. Doms are always overprotective, but when you’re pregnant, doubly so. That’s something you’ll have to
get used to besides the queasiness.”
“I love you, Sis.”
“I love you, too.” Amber nodded and her men left.
Corey pressed his mouth tenderly to hers. “Are you queasy now?”
