“Brennan said to stay in the car until he is back,” I mock. “Since when do you care?”

“Fine,” he snaps and opens the door, jumping out to help me get down. Trace exits the other side, and when the others notice me not so gracefully getting out of the car, they all exit the other vehicles.

“I’m Grace. I started last week because the doc expects a lot of births at the same time, if your history is anything to go by.”

As I take a seat in the wheelchair, Kai moves his way between Grace and the back of the chair. “Sorry, but trust issues. You lead the way.” Kai gestures for the nurse to show us where to go, thentakes off running with me in the wheelchair, causing poor Grace to run alongside us. But if her smile is any indication, she isn’t mad. She doesn’t argue, just turns and leads us into the building to a lift, where she pushes the button for the third floor.

Boston yells out something incoherent, and Kai just ignores him like usual. We all stop dead in our tracks when the lift doors open and Brennan steps out.

“He did it,” I say, pointing to Kai.

“Thanks for throwing me under the bus so quickly,” he retorts. “You could have blamed Boston, and we all could have enjoyed that.”

I shrug. “Nope, I have to push some babies out of me soon, so you’re taking the hit now. I will try to remember to give you a free pass when I’m in pain again.”

“The maternity floor is all clear for us to go up. We can’t have the entire floor to ourselves since there are already women giving birth. But our security team is here and will be on the floor day and night until we can move back to Olympia.”

“You’re being paranoid. No one here gives a shit about us, but they might when they see you guys coming in with all your crazy,” I say with an eye roll.

The lift isn’t big enough for everyone to go up in one trip, so Kai, Grace, myself, two meathead security guards, Brennan, and Boston go up in the first lift.

Midwives that work here at the hospital stare at us as we pass, and I hear one whisper to another, “I wonder who they are? They won’t even tell us their names.”

“Maybe she is a celebrity. Wouldn’t that be amazing?”

I don’t catch the rest of their conversation since Kai walks at superspeed as he follows Grace. I’m led into a room that is nicer than your average hospital room. It’s also massive.

Kai helps me from the wheelchair and onto the bed, then Grace starts hooking me up so they can monitor the babies straight away while we wait on the doctor.

A handful of security guards walk in with foldable chairs and place them around the room. It looks like enough for all the guys to sit in while we wait for the babies to arrive. The room is massive, but as all my guys pile in, it doesn’t quite seem so big anymore.

Chester pushes his way to my side and holds my hand.

“Are you going to be okay?” I ask him. He has really struggled with knowing that a doctor will see my bits while I give birth, and we really don’t need him to attack anyone right now.

“Creed is going to watch me, and I promise to try my best. I don’t want to miss their birth, but I won’t do anything stupid either.”

“Good, now who is in charge of lunch?” I look around the room and everyone looks at someone else.

The doors to the room open and a group of people walk in with the doctor. “Jolie, this is our team. They are all hired by Brennan, so be assured they have clearance to be here. We have Doctor Hopper, the babies’ paediatrician, and Grace is the trainee midwife for Olympia. We also have Samantha, the hospital’s head midwife for today, and Racheal is their pathologist.” Shit, they really have thought of everything. I’m glad I have Brennan because if it were up to me, I would be at a public hospital with no idea what was happening.

“Scarlett is also on her way here with everything we’ll need in terms of drugs and medication. We know you will need that, but we also have a few extra supplies should the babies need anything,” Chester explains.

“Is it all safe for the babies?” I ask him.

“It is. It’s only things that have been used on us. Years and years of testing has been done.”

“While we wait on her,” the doctor says, “we will do a trace on the babies to make sure they are doing okay. We will also take some bloods and once we have what we need, we will start a drip to make sure you don’t get an infection. The hospital is fetching me some equipment, so I can perform an ultrasound to see if the babies have moved at all. Baby B was in the birthing position the last time we checked, but not Baby A.”

“Is that bad?” I ask.

“No, we have a few options, but let’s wait and see. I will be back shortly. I have to smooth things over with the hospital since we barged in on them.”

It’s not long before Scarlett shows up and goes all boss bitch, telling the security guard to bring up the mini fridge which is in her car—which she left at the front entrance, mind you. The doctor has the drip quickly set up, and Chester is even chill when the midwife gives me an internal to check my progress.

But a commotion outside has all the guys jumping to their feet. Chester blocks my view of the damn door, and I have to look around him when I see the door fly open. In walks Blayne, followed by Sinclair, Jimmie, and Summer.

“Cujo outside couldn’t stop me from getting in here,” Blayne says, flexing her muscles, and I laugh.
