I sigh as my eyes meet his, bracing because I have no idea how he’ll react. “It means son.”

His mouth turns up at the corner for a moment as his eyes grow heavy. He’s fighting a losing battle against sleep now that he’s no longer worried about Jasper.

“I like that.”

Pride fills my chest.

I like it, too.

I must have nodded off at some point because the next thing I know, Gavin is shaking me and the boys awake.

My head snaps up to find Maverick and Dylan hurrying over with huge smiles on their faces. “Both Emilia and the baby are doing well. They’re getting her set up in a private pack suite now, but they’ll come and get us in just a minute.”

“Mommy is fine?” Jasper asks, wiping the sleep from his eyes.

“Your mommy is a rockstar,” Dylan tells him. “And your baby brother is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. He looks like an angry old man.”

Jasper wrinkles his nose. “That’s cute?”

I chuckle, wrapping my arm around his shoulders. “We see soon. Speaking of brothers, where is mine?”

“He and Camden refuse to leave our omega alone.” Maverick rolls his eyes. “Not that I was planning to ask Camden to leave. Emilia said thisdelivery hurt less than the last two. In fact, she told me to tell Remy just that.”

“I’m here,” he says, blinking and shaking his head as he tries to wake up. “Does she think it has something to do with them being an omega pair? She must or she wouldn’t have mentioned it. I’ll have to look into it.”

“Emilia Reinhardt’s pack?” A nurse stands in the doorway, smiling when our heads swing toward her. “Good, I’m in the right place. There are a lot of you here, and while the suite is big, we ask that only mates and children come back right now. We’ll make sure the rest of you get to meet the baby soon.”

A few minutes later, we arrive in her suite, finding her and Camden sharing the bed while Nikolai sits in a chair next to them, holding the baby.

“Brother?” Jasper asks, and the three of them look up.

Emilia looks exhausted, but she beams when she sees us. “You’re here. Hawk and Jasper, come give Mommy a kiss and meet your baby brother.”

Jasper glances up at me, and I pick him up and walk him over to the bed. I deposit him beside Emilia, who he promptly kisses before turning to Nikolai. “I see, please.”

“I’m glad you’re okay, Mom.” Hawk climbs up beside his brother, snuggling into Emilia after he kisses her.

We all get a chance to meet the baby, holding him for a few minutes before passing him on.

“What’s my brother’s name?” Jasper asks as Camden hands Emilia the baby.

I freeze.

Have we even talked about this? Has anyone asked Emilia if she knows what she plans to call him?

Fuck.

Did we already fuck this up?

“I have an idea, but I want to see what all of you think first. How does the name Beau sound?”

Camden lays his head on her shoulder. “Spelled B-o or B-e-a-u?”

“B-e-a-u.”

“I like it,” he says.

It doesn’t take long for us to come to the consensus that we all love it.
