Page 121 of His Surrogate Omega

“We put you both into a bedroom beside Gray’s. He’s upstairs now if—”

Lake scowled. “One bedroom? Really?”

Rohan’s brow shot up. “There was only one more left on that floor, and wethoughtyou’d want to be close to your uncle.”

Lake adjusted the strap in his backpack. The teenager eyed Rohan as if the boy was sizing him up. “I guess that’s fine.”

“So gladyou agree,” Rohan murmured. “Why don’t I take you up to see your room?”

He took the boys up, leaving Jamie in Jefre’s care. The youngest omega asked a ton of questions as they made their way up.

“Who else lives here?”

“Just me and my omega.”

Auggie looked up at him, surprised, before looking back to the stairs. “Just you and him? This house issobig.”

“Well now we have a little help filling it up for a while,” Rohan said.

“Are you the father of Gray’s babies?”

Rohan stopped at the top of the stairs and looked down at the earnest boy. “Why don’t we go find your uncle?”

“Well, that’s why he’s here, right?” Auggie asked. “And why Jamie came to visit us all the time.”

Rohan didn’t know how much Gray had shared with his nephews before and didn’t know if he should be the one answering the questions. “Let’s just find your uncle.”

“We’re not idiots,” the teenager said just behind them. “We know you’re probably the father.”

Rohan eyed the boy again and sighed. “It’s not my place to answer those kinds of questions… so I’ll leave it for your uncle.”

“In other words… yeah, you are,” Lake said before pushing past them. “Left or right?”

“Left,” Rohan said on a sigh.

Lake led the way to the last bedroom on the second floor. It was even bigger than the one Gray was in, but hadn’t been properly prepared when the omega had arrived. He showed them to the bedroom… one with two double beds and double dressers. It still had enough space for two small desks and a nook with a small couch and a TV.

“I assume you boys like video games?” Rohan asked.

“Oh yes,” Auggie said, wide-eyed. “Do you play?”

“I haven’t in many years,” Rohan answered.

“He’d probably suck at it now,” Lake said, wandering over to the TV. But his eyes got even wider. “You’ve got the new Playkit 5? It’s not even for sale yet.”

“A friend of mine works for the company and gave me a system for you to try. There are a few games included, too. Not sure exactly what he put in there.”

Lake shrugged off his backpack, without another word, and started the game. Auggie tugged on Rohan’s arm.

Rohan looked down.

“Thank you.”

He smiled. “You’re welcome.”

“Lake would say thank you, too, if he wasn’t such a butthead.”

Rohan chuckled, and the boy smiled up at him.
