Easton

“Hello, beautiful,” he said.

“Hey, you.” She kissed his lips, and he groaned.

“You’ve got to take it easy.” He put his hand on her stomach so she knew he was aware of her condition.

“What?” Easton asked, startling them as he approached.

Scarlett went bright red. She took Easton’s hand and placed it over her stomach. “I was waiting for the right moment to tell you, I’m pregnant. I took the test this morning. We’re going to have another baby.”

“Another baby?” Easton pulled her in close, and Liam wrapped his arms around both of them.

Their family knew they were all together. For Junior, he’d been happy to have two dads.

Against all the odds, it had gone smoothly for him. Liam was always prepared for any potential backlash. To the outside world, they were the best of friends, making the most of their situation.

Behind closed doors, the truth was there for the three of them.

“Yes. Are you happy?”

“Happy? I’m fucking ecstatic. I want us all to have a big family. There are a lot of bedrooms for us to fill, and I want us to fill every single one of them.”

The broken man had been healed, and Liam watched this man thrive. All he’d needed was patience, love, and stability.

Surrounded by his family, Liam knew he’d made the right choice in not destroying the Four Kings. He could have done so easily.

After all, they all had skeletons in their closet, and one day soon, someone was going to fall. Liam would catch Easton; he would protect him.

The love he had for Easton and Scarlett wasn’t fleeting. This was the kind that lasted a lifetime, and he intended to make every single moment with them count.

The End
