Wasn’t that a beautiful sight to see—Hawk holding a baby.

Soon it was going to be their baby.

He might just die right now of pure happiness.

Corbin wandered by and handed him a piece of pizza. “Eat. The baby’s hungry.”

“How do you know?” Cosmo asked.

“I’m your triplet. I know. Feed the baby. You know he’s gonna like me best.”

“I heard that,” hollered Cullen.

“Now he’s got a bunch of competition, too,” Austin pointed out. “He could like any of us.”

“Shut up.” Cullen came over to sit by him. “He’s going to love us all.”

“Of course he is,” Cosmo soothed. “He’s my baby and you’re my brothers.”

Hawk swung Robin around again, and little scales and a tail popped up on the wee one, his wings trying to sprout. God, that was cute.

“Fwy!” Robin shouted, and he sounded like a trucker, his voice taking on a bit of a roar.

The entirety of the dragons—top to bottom—went “Aww!”

Hawk smiled and flew Robin around. “Fly, little one! Fly so fast.”

Lia patted her bear, and Esther tumbled her over, batting at her playfully. Thank goodness they had grown up together. AndLia was used to a little rough handling. Of course, there wasn’t anything delicate about that little girl dragon.

Puck chuckled softly. Andy and Dustin had their hands full with that girl.

Privately, Cosmo thought it wasn’t going to be Andy and Dustin who had their hands full. It was going to be Arielle and Sebby because there were three alpha children. All three of them were freaking fierce, and, well, most everyone had seen Arielle kicking Sebby’s butt. Yet there was something about little Seb that was stubborn and utterly relentless. Like he was just going to continue doing his thing until he was done doing his thing. And damn the consequences.

Or really, damn Arielle.

Arielle and Lia, on the other hand, might just kill each other. And Lia had a bear.

Austin winked at him. “Don’t stress it. There’s plenty of room. And if push came to shove, those three would learn to work together. Like Gavin, Ty, and Zeke. They’re convinced that they’re the heads of everything. And they’re working together.” Mostly.

“I’m glad I only have to really deal with mine.”

“Right now. Just wait until Cullen and Corbin mate.” That was Hawk, who sat down with a plate of pizza in one hand and Robin tucked under the other arm.

Cullen gave Hawk a wide-eyed look. “Oh no. Nope. I’ll be the perpetual uncle.”

“And all I need to grow is plants,” Corbin agreed.

“Easy enough to say that, but then when your mate comes along, you end up all starry-eyed.” He glanced at Hawk as the baby kicked his belly hard enough to be visible to the others. “And then look where you are.”

“Covered in goofy baby dragons!” Cullen teased, sending off a wave of fireworks.

“I love it.” Hawk devoured a piece of pizza, sharing a little cheese with Robin, but soon he was covered, children climbing on him like a jungle gym to peer into his face and make themselves known.

Hawk seemed to be over the moon, his face blissful, and soon Gavin and Zeke came, sitting close so that the babies could climb on them as well.

“Where’s Tyson?” he asked, and Arielle’s father, Devon, rolled his eyes.

“Myk’s pregnant. Again. It’s unreal.”
