“For you? Anything,” I vow, and I’ve never meant anything more in my life.
“So… this is what we’ve decided?” She looks back and forth between us, and I can sense the excitement bubbling beneath the surface. “The three of us?”
“The three of us,” I echo.
“No matter what,” Ben adds.
“Oh!” Cami bolts up on the couch, and the look on her face is one of being completely awestruck.
“What?” Ben asks.
“Cami? Are you okay?”
When she turns to face me, her face is glowing. Her eyes are bright and shimmering. “The baby… the babykicked. I felt him.”
“Him?” Ben’s voice is soft and reverent. “You think it’s a boy?”
Cami laughs, and it’s a sound of pure delight. “I don’t know. I have no idea. Come on, feel.” She grabs one of Ben’s hands and guides it to her belly. Then she reaches for mine, but I grasp her fingers and don’t let her let go.
As Ben rubs her belly, I squeeze her hand. I silently tell her the things I haven’t yet—I’m here, I love her more than anything, and I’m not going anywhere.
She smiles, her lips softly curving, and I can tell she knows.
“Come on, Ryle, get in on this baby-kicking action. Don’t let me be the favorite already,” Ben teases.
This time I let Cami put my hand on her belly. She keeps her hand on top of mine, and Ben’s fingers touch mine. I look down at all of our hands, and I can’t help but feel my throat close up.It’s a life I never dreamt of, a life filled with love and family and laughter. And I know none of us would change a thing.
Epilogue
Cami
“Well, how did it go?” I ask, not even letting Ben get in the door before I question him.
He doesn’t seem surprised to see me waiting at the door and leans in for a kiss. He closes the door behind him, sets his bag down, and guides me through the entryway. “I thought you had a late shift today.”
“I switched with Rayna. I wanted to be here to hear the news.” I’ve barely finished speaking before I hear someone on the stairs. I turn and see Ryle hurrying down them toward us.
“I thought that was you. How did it go?”
“He’s not telling!” I announce, propping my hand on my hip and giving Ben a stern look. I feel pretty confident that I’m good at it, considering how many I’ve gotten from him over the years.
“Relax, relax,” he says, but I can tell he’s pleased we’re interested. “I got the promotion.”
I squeal and squeeze Ben as hard as I can.
“That’s what I’m talking about!” Ryle gives him a high-five over my head. “We’ve got to celebrate, Detective Ross.”
“Let me get out of these work clothes first.”
“Hmm, I think I know a way we can get you out of those clothesandcelebrate.” I’m unzipping his pants before he’s even had a chance to answer. I’m seven months pregnant, and my Daddies constantly talk about how voracious my sexual appetite has gotten, and they’re not wrong.
But I don’t hear either one of them complaining, and by the time I get Ben’s pants and boxers down, I can see he’s pretty happy with the suggestion.
“Hello, there.” I stroke his hard cock and it bobs toward me.
“Can we at least make it to the bedroom this time, Cami?” Ryle grins.
“Only if you hurry.” I grab Ben’s hand and take off. By the time we get up the stairs and into the bedroom, I can hardly wait. I know better than to tell either of them to speed things up—my butt tingles to remind me to behave anytime I eventhinkit.
