“Help me up, mate.” I held out my arms.
He stood up, held his arms out for me, and pulled me up.
“Let’s go,” I said.
“Where are we going? Do you want to go look at the property?”
“Nope. There’s something else I want to look at more.” I raked my eyes up and down his body. He couldn’t look at me with that smile and expect my answer to be anywhere but in his arms.
“Okay, tell me where, and we’re there.”
“Oh, silly me. Don’t you know?” I bit my bottom lip.
“Out to dinner?”
I needed to up my flirting game.
“No more hinting. I’m pregnant and horny, and you need to service your omega.”
“So much better than dinner.” He growled and picked me up, something that used to make me feel uncomfortable as I got bigger, worried I’d hurt his back, but the feral look in his eyes when he did told me there was no pain at all.
He loved it—just not quite as much as he loved me.

“They're not all coming with us, are they?”
Reign had one hand on his swollen belly and the other was clasping my arm. For a human, he had a strong grip.
“They're already in the car.” I could shout at them, but it wouldn’t do much good. Keane and Rhodes, my brothers’ mates, had already told them as much. But because they all felt responsible for putting Reign in such a dangerous position, they had clung to him during his pregnancy, anticipating his every want and need.
Reign let out a string of curses, but he experienced another contraction and doubled over, digging his nails into my palm.
“They promised to behave.”
“When have they ever done that?” he hissed as I got him into the car.
We made it to the hospital with my brothers in two cars trailing behind. Though shifter omegas usually gave birth at home, my mate preferred to have our baby in a delivery suite with medicalstaff and plenty of drugs. The nurse at the intake desk took one look at all seven of us and sighed.
“Family?” Her tone suggested she'd seen this before.
“Brothers,” Boaz informed her.
The nurse pointed out the waiting room and explained that only the alpha father accompanied the laboring omega.
Reign experienced another contraction before I could get him into his hospital gown, and he leaned against me as his belly tightened.
“You’re amazing. Have I told you that?”
“Maybe.” He paced back and forth, saying he preferred to waddle rather than lie down.
There was a crash outside, and Reign told me to check on my brothers.
“They’re adults. My job is to stay with you.” I kissed his hand.
“Go before they do something that gets us banned from the hospital.”
