Page 150 of His Surrogate Omega

Then he came to a video. Jamie’s smiling face was frozen with the play symbol over his face. Rohan stared at it for a moment before he got the courage to hit play.

Jamie’s lean face lit up the screen.

“Hi Rohan. How are you?”

Rohan sat up a little straighter.

“If you’re watching this, then I’m likely gone.” He paused, looking away from the screen for a moment before turning back, his smile wide. “The thought of leaving you, Gray, and the babies breaks my heart, but the one thing that keeps me going is knowing that you’ll have each other to lean on. I know I pushed you both hard in the direction I wanted you to go, but in my mind, I was planting a seed.” He smiled again, and it nearly took Rohan’s breath away. “But, in all truth, I didn’t need to plant anything. There’s a bond between Gray and you that has been there from the start. You think I didn’t see how you both reacted to one another during your first meeting? It reminded me of the reaction you and I had so long ago. In that moment, there was no doubt in my mind that he was yours, too.”

Rohan gasped.

“I don’t know how or why or what brought him into our lives other than it was fate for me to meet him and bring him to you. He is your mate, as much as I am. Can you imagine a world where we’d never met? Never loved? Never slept side by side in the same bed? Never dreamed of a forever together?” He paused. “I can’t imagine that world. And I doubt you can, either. Gray is just as much yours as I was… and if you refuse him, it would be like refusing me. Refusing to have that love you both deserve in your lives.” Jamie paused and wiped a tear from his eye. “I don’t know how much time has passed since I died and you watching this. Too soon and I can imagine you trying to be gallant and refusing him out of love for me. Too long and I worry the light inside you will have died. Not only will you have lost me, but him, too. And if that happens, you won’t be long for this world, either. I hope you’ve seen this in time. In time to know that youneedhim to get through this pain. You’re not being honorable to him at all. You’re making the both of you suffer for no good damned reason, and I won’t have it.” Jamie smiled. “He’s the brother of my heart, and Iwantyou both to be happy.” Jamie smiled, reaching for the phone. “I love you, Rohan.To the moon and back. I always will. And I love Gray. I’ll be watching you both from above.” Jamie blew a kiss at the screen before the video ended.

Rohan sat there for a long time, staring at the screen. He played it again, wanting to memorize the words and the curves of Jamie’s face. After, he turned the phone off and lifted it to his lips. “I love you, baby.”

Shoving the phone back in the drawer for safekeeping, he rose and headed upstairs. This time, he turned toward the room Gray had stayed in. He opened the door, and the omega’s scent filled his nose. Weak, but it was there.

He strolled through the room, looking to see if there was anything the man had left behind. Seeking to be closer to Gray somehow. The drawers were empty, as was the closet. Rohan sat on the edge of the bed and stretched his neck. That’s when a book on the nightstand caught his attention.

A History of the Omega.

Rohan lifted the book and breezed through it, getting another whiff of Gray’s scent. He scanned one of the pages and read a few paragraphs.

And frowned.

Before reading on…

Chapter Thirty

A month later…

Rohan fidgeted in the small chair in Armond Terizano’s office. The lawyer was one of Tensen’s partners and was ready and prepared to read the will. Wilder and Vaughn sat opposite him, quiet as they waited for the fourth and final meeting. The will would be read today. But there was no sign of Wynter, Warden,orGray and the boys. Rohan could care less about the two former, he was more worried about the latter. Ifboththe JaymesesandGray didn’t show that day, they would have to start the cycle again and wait several weeks to read the will.

He didn’t expect Jamie’s parents to come. Today was all about seeing his omega and his babies, and getting Jamie’s will read. When the door finally opened and Gray bustled in, looking exhausted, Rohan released a sigh of relief. He jumped to his feet and took the basket and bag from Gray’s hands.

“Sorry I’m late,” Gray said, looking exhausted and frazzled. “It’s a lot harder to get around with babies than I ever realized.”

“You need some help,” Rohan said before looking down at the boys. Both were awake and bright eyed. He grinned down at them, and Silver cooed up at him. “I’m ready to help all you need.”

Rohan sat down and lifted Jaymes from the basket, cradling the infant in one arm. “Help me with Silver,” he murmured to Wilder.

His brother-in-law lifted the tiny omega from the basket and nestled him into Rohan’s arm. Rohan relaxed once they were both in his grasp. He leaned back in the chair and just looked at them, memorizing their faces.

And realized they both had Gray’s eyes.

He lifted his gaze and caught his omega staring at him. Jamie’s words repeated in his head, coupled with his own instinct. This was his male, the papa of his children. Rohan wanted them all home where they belonged.

He’d made the offer, albeit a terrible one but denied all the same. Now it was time to make a better one. Now that he knew the truth. Gray was his omega, too. And his omega deserved to be honored.

Jaymes rubbed his face against Rohan’s chest. Soon after, he bellowed and Silver followed. Gray began to frantically search through the baby’s bag, but didn’t seem to find what he was looking for. “Damnit,” he whispered before standing up straight. He looked to the babies. “I left their bottles on the counter, it seems.”

“So what? Do I need to send a car for them?” Rohan asked.

“That would take an hour at least,” Gray said. “I’ll have to take them home.”

“No,” Rohan said. “If you’re not here either, and Wynter and Warden show up—we start again. Another month.”

Gray stared at the babes a moment. “Then I have no other choice. I can’t make them wait an hour to be fed.” Gray blew out a breath before shaking his head. He sat down beside Rohan and began to unbutton his tunic. Rohan sat up straighter, suddenly realizing what was about to happen.
