Cuff Me

We’d spent the next several minutes catching our breath in silence, well spent and completely sweaty. I was ready to reveal the news to them.

“Okay, I have something to show you.” I stood up and went to the closet. I took their fire gear bag and brought it to them. “Open it.”

They looked at each other in slight confusion before they unzipped the bag and found two wrapped packages.

Trent raised his eyebrows. “What’s this?”

I grinned. “Open it and you’ll see.”

They unwrapped the boxes and found two positive pregnancy tests. They snapped their head at me, their eyes widening in surprise.

“Bree?”

My smile grew huge. “I took two just to be sure, but then I figured out I could use them both to tell you... You’re going to be daddies!”

“Bree,” Trent whispered, completely shocked, while Caleb jumped to his feet and rushed to pull me into his embrace.

“Baby! I can’t believe this! I can’t fucking believe this! We’re going to be daddies!”

He grabbed my head and covered my face with small kisses. I laughed, filled with joy, and then squealed when Trent joined us and picked me up.

“Trent!”

He rotated me around, making me slightly dizzy, but I didn’t care. I was so happy.

“Bree! I’m so happy! That’s wonderful! I can’t believe it!”

“Yeah. We’re so happy to know our baby is inside you. I love you.”

He hugged me as soon as Trent let me go and buried his head into my shoulder.

“We’re going to take care of you and our baby, Bree. We’re going to give you so much love... We’re so happy, Bree. I love you so much.”

He hugged me from behind, and I felt so safe and loved like this—in between their warm bodies.

“We’ll make sure you get lots of rest,” Trent told me.

“Yeah. Only the best for you and our child.”

“Thank you, guys, but I want you to know that I’m going to keep going to school. I don’t intend to stop—especially not now when my studies are going so well. I want our baby to know their parents can do anything, so I’ll work even harder now to make my dream come true.

“And this is one of the reasons why I love you so much,” Caleb said with pride in his eyes. “You’re so strong and determinate and you never give up.”

“Just like you, guys. You’re brave, strong, and kind. You’re the best.”

Trent kissed me, his tongue giving me a slow burn, and I realized that our dinner would grow cold if we kept doing this.

“Come on.” I separated myself from them unwillingly and pulled them with me out of the room. “There is a delicious dinner waiting for you, and I won’t be satisfied until you eat it all.” I winked at them and swayed my hips while I walked, wanting to seduce them.

Their groans followed me, and I chuckled. They were so cute.

“So what do you think? Is it a boy or girl?” Caleb asked me.

“If it’s a girl she’ll definitely be like Bree.”

“And if it’s a boy? Then what?”
