Page 66 of Home in His Arms

Ryder looked at him and Ronin. “Ro, get me some towels and hot water. And Ollie, go up to the nursery and grab me a diaper.”

He nodded and went in the direction of the stairs that led to the nursery he’d helped Devon add finishing touches to over the last few weeks.

He turned the light on and grabbed everything quickly. It was pretty easy since Devon had the room super organized. He made his way downstairs quickly, although he took the stairs slowly since Ronin’s voice in his head telling him to be careful was ever present. This time, it was a memory and not through their bond.

Ollie walked into the room and found Devon already in position, knees bent with Roman behind him.

His eyes went down to Devon’s lower region, and he wished he could unsee what he’d just seen.

“Oh crap.” Ollie swayed, and Ronin pulled him into his arms.

As much as he wanted to look away, he couldn’t take his eyes of Devon’s private area… yeah, Ollie wasn’t even sure what to call it right now.

Ollie and Ronin stayed back, but they watched it unfold. It was like seeing a video of someone falling down—you wanted to look away, but you couldn’t.

Roman was right behind Devon, supporting him as he pushed and praising him each time he did.

“You’re doing great, Devon,” Ryder praised. “I need you to give me one big push. I see the head already. Big one.”

“Ahhhhhhh!” Devon cried as he pushed with all of his might.

“Good job, Devon!” Ryder called out. Then they heard the sound of a baby crying.

Ollie felt the chills in his body as he experienced something he knew he would never forget. Ronin had his arms around him as they watched. Tears sprang into Ollie’s eyes, and he held onto Ronin's hand tighter, the overwhelming love in that room damn near bringing him to his knees.

Ollie leaned to the side so he could meet Ronin’s gaze and saw that he also had tears in his eyes.

“You both have a beautiful baby girl!” Ryder said.

“A girl?” Roman’s voice was filled with awe. They all watched as Ryder placed the squalling little human on Devon’s chest. His friend was both smiling and crying as he held his daughter for the first time.

Ryder placed the towel over the baby in Devon’s arms.

“Welcome to your family and pack, Madison Rochelle,” Roman said. “I’m your papa, and the amazing, strong guy holding you is daddy.”

“Madison,” Ronin spoke for the first time. “Thought it was just Rochelle.”

Roman looked down at his daughter in his mate’s arms and shook his head. “Maddie, that’s her name. I saw her and I knew.”

As Ollie watched Rome and Dev and heard sounds from the living room letting him know the rest of the family had shown up, he knew he was really home. Not only in Wildwood, but in his alpha’s arms.
