“We are,” Brenden confirms, kissing the top of her head. “Are you okay with that?”

She immediately nods. “I just haven’t given much thought to us having kids since I’m still training with my dad and Wren. I’ve always wanted kids, though. All of you are okay with this, right?”

“Hell yes!”

“Yes.”

“Absolutely.”

“I’m so fucking happy.”

“I’m happy if you’re happy.” Brenden’s the one who says the last one, and that has my mate frowning up at him.

“You don’t want kids?”

Brenden shrugs. “I like the idea of having them, but I died. I’m not sure I can have kids, but even if I could… Would you really want to raise a kid with my DNA?”

Audrey’s on her feet and in his face in seconds. “And what the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

“Firecracker, I love you and the fact that you don’t give a shit that I’m a sociopath, but it doesn’t change the facts. Any child that shares my blood has an increased risk of having antisocial personality disorder as well.”

Audrey smiles up at him as she takes his face in her hands. “So what if they do? That doesn’t mean they can’t live a full life? You did, kind of. I don’t care whose babies these are, I’ll be happy no matter who the father is.”

“Yeah, Bren. We don’t care if they share some of your less…socially acceptable traits.” Cassian tosses him a grin. “We’ll all love the babies no matter who the father is or who they turn out to be.”

Brenden finally cracks a smile. “Yeah, okay. I mean, I just can’t wait until you get huge. Fucking a pregnant woman has never been on my list of kinks I wanted to try, but now?”

We all burst out into laughter, and the mood lightens.

They’re right though. It doesn’t matter who the babies’ biological father is. They belong to all of us, and we’ll love them no matter what.
