Page 94 of Surprise Mother Pucker

“That’s not happening anytime soon,” Kennedy insisted. “Plus, our current room is perfect!”

Storm shrugged. “I guess they’ll have to go in the nest, then.”

Charlotte was babbling happily in her stroller, all the toys on her lap almost overwhelming her. It was comical how covered in stuffed animals she was, but the grin on her face made it all worth it.

She was going to spend the rest of her life being spoiled by all of her dads.

The thought made my chest feel warm in the best way.

Chapter 38

“You’ve been studying for ages, it’s time for a snuggle session!” I declared loudly as I bounded into the living room. Kennedy was sitting at the table with several books surrounding her as she studied. Charlotte was down for a nap, but we were all milling around in case she woke up.

It was almost time for finals, and pretty soon, Kennedy would be done with all her classes. She insisted that she was doing okay, but we could tell she was getting more and more exhausted as her pregnancy went on. Now that she’d passed the halfway point, she was beginning to show and more symptoms were rearing their ugly head.

She thought she looked terrible, what with the nausea and vertigo and the general feeling of ickiness. To me, she had never been more beautiful. I hated that she wasn't feeling well, and I wished I could do something to make it better for her. As an alpha, my heart cried when my omega was suffering, but I knew, deep down, that this was the cost of getting a cute little munchkin.

Charlotte was the light of my life, and I already considered her mine. The prospect of a second baby in the house wasdownright thrilling. As her pregnancy progressed, we were all getting more excited, and there was anticipation in the air.

Kennedy groaned, putting her pen down. “I can't snuggle. I've got more work to do.”

I shook my head. “Nope. Alpha’s orders—snuggles are imperative. Don’t forget, I am an expert in snuggle law.” As I spoke, I slid up to her, pulling her into my arms. Before she had a chance to complain, I had her up in my arms, bridal style, and was walking toward her bedroom.

“You guys okay to listen out for the tiny terror?” I asked, craning my neck to look at Eli, who was sitting on the couch, studying on his tablet.

“I can.” He smiled as he watched me cart our omega away. Being part of a pack was amazing. I didn’t understand how people could live the single life.

“This is kidnapping, you know,” Kennedy grumbled as I lightly kicked the door to her room open. Despite her words of objection, she snuggled into my chest, inhaling deeply. The further along she got in her pregnancy, the more snuggly she was becoming. It was completely normal for an omega to seek out comfort and alpha affection more as the pregnancy progressed.

“So?” I asked, raising my brows.

Kennedy snorted. “I don't know why I thought you would have an objection to kidnapping, considering you have kidnapped our child on so many occasions.”

Our child.

She’d called Charlotteour child. I hadn't heard her do that yet, and those words made my heart rate skyrocket.

“What can I say? We have a cute child.” I shrugged.

“That, she is,” Kennedy whispered as I put her on the nest, grabbing a blanket and pulling her in for a snuggle.

“Need to try and relax a bit more. You're going to work yourself into the ground,” I murmured as she nestled into me.

“I know,” she sighed. “I'm just so close to the end, I can practically taste it.”

“I'm sure you're going to do amazingly. You spend every spare minute you’re not on Mama duty studying. What are your plans after you graduate? We haven’t really thought that far ahead, have we?”

Kennedy huffed a laugh, the sound muffled by my chest. “Honestly, I just wanted to get this baby out and then go from there. What about you guys? Do you have any specific plans?”

“We want to stay in the area, because Storm is still going to be taking some classes and playing hockey. I finish next semester, and Eli as well. Charlie has two semesters to go. We discussed getting a house nearby once we’re ready.”

“This is a lovely place,” she said.

“It is,” I agreed. “But I think we all know this place has served its purpose. It was great for us during our college years, and it was perfect for starting a little family in, but once we have two kiddos running around, I think we're going to need a bit more space for them. Possibly a yard. Can you imagine them playing in little inflatable pools in the summer?”

“Oh, I've always wanted a yard,” Kennedy admitted.
