“That’s right. We will make a housewife out of you yet,” she laughs.

“I wouldn’t go that far. We still need you to be our housewife, Petra. I’m not there yet.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not going anywhere. Boston and Brennan are like my grandchildren, and these babies will be no different. They are my family.”

Tears well in my eyes.

“Don’t cry, come here.” She holds out her arms to me.

“I’m sorry, for the last few years I haven’t had a family. I didn’t remember anyone. And now I have so many people it gets a little overwhelming sometimes.” I sniffle and sob into her shirt.

“I’m always here for you if you need me. What about Melinda? Have you spoken to her lately?”

I pull back and nod. “Yes, we are having lunch in a few days. Ziyon has been weird lately, and she didn’t want to push. Which is strange in itself, right? That she was worried about how he would feel.”

“In a traditional relationship, it would be. But from what you have told me, she has been hidden away from the real world and had to rely only on him. If she read Zacari’s letter and has started to question anything, I could imagine she is very confused.”

“Add in finding out she had a daughter and wasn’t told... I guess I just have to take it slowly with her.”

“That sounds like a good approach. You have both been through so much at the hands of those men. Now, it’s time for me to go. The lasagna is in the oven. Put the garlic bread in when the first timer goes off, and the oven will turn off when the second timer rings. I have placed the salad in the fridge and the freshly baked bread is on the bench, cooling. If you need anything, just call me.”

“I will. Thank you so much for coming in on your day off.”

“There is nowhere else I would rather be, but now I have a date with a book.”

“Oh, you will have to tell me about it next time.”

“I will. I’m only halfway through the first book in the series. It’s calledZodiac Academy. Jimmie made Kai read it, and he has now got me hooked.”

“Well, enjoy your night. I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Petra leaves, and I set the table. Unfortunately, we are still in the bunker, but Creed says the crew is on track to finish up in six to eight weeks’ time. While it’s the size of a normal house down here, no way is it big enough for everyone’s egos. But we are managing just fine.

“Something smells divine in here.” I jump at the sound of Case’s voice as he sneaks up behind me.

“You scared me,” I say, turning in his arms and slapping his chest.

“I’m sorry, Wildflower. But can I say how sexy you look in the kitchen, pregnant with my babies?”

I smile up at him. His green hair has faded to bleached and has almost grown out, just tinting the ends. His black hair is almost completely back. I love how every one of the guys refers to both babies as theirs.

“You’re lucky that you’re so cute,” I say and bop him on the nose with my finger.

“Just cute, huh?”

I place my hand on the side of his face and pull it down to mine. “You know I find you incredibly sexy. You’re mine, Case Chambers, and I’m never letting you go.”

“Please tell me tonight is the night for an orgy.”

Case stiffens at the sound of Kai’s voice. They are trying to work through their issues, but Case is just so damn stubborn.

“I’m not having an orgy with you, dickhead. No one wants one with you, so give it up.”

“I would,” Laughn says, entering the room. “Have an orgy, that is, if it’s what Jolie wants. Your wish is my command, baby. Just tell me where you want me.”

Laughn comes over to me and kisses my cheek. “Good to know,” I say, looking at Kai and giving him a wink.

Since getting pregnant, I have been daydreaming about watching Kai get fucked. But then I get jealous about someone touching him, so it has to be one of the guys, but they’re mostly straight. Chester and Creed have their thing, but refuse to tell me who is the top, so they are out. I didn’t even think of Laughn. He should have been my first guess; he is always down to try anything.
