Erik
We went with Sawyer for no reason at all except we loved the name.
It had come up a few times while we were trying to decide, but we kept thinking it had to be someone else’s name.
Someone we admired or a very significant word.
Like Hero. But, in the end, gazing into that little face, we agreed—our baby was a Sawyer.
And the past few months had flown by. It had taken longer than anticipated to get my factory up and running, and in the end, I’d had to delay contracts and give the workers a couple of weeks of pay with no work to do, but this morning we would be opening the plant.
In the end, I’d managed to hold onto some of the other managerial staff, meaning, I could focus on my work at Cuffed and only go to the shop once or twice a week.
The people who had been with us, the ones my former partners rejected, were loyal, hardworking, and with nobody to argue with me, I was able to pay them what they truly were worth.
“Ready, omega?” I called up the stairs. “The ribbon cutting is in a half hour.”
“Coming.” He appeared on the landing, baby in his arms. “Sawyer had a blowout, and I had to give him another bath.”
“Omega, you look amazing.” He wore jeans and a polo with the logo we’d designed for our new business.
“Are you sure? It’s the first time I’ve gotten back into these jeans since the baby came.” Handing me Sawyer, he treated me to a little twirl. “They really fit okay?”
“Okay enough, I’m thinking we should get someone else to cut the ribbon while I peel them off you.”
“You can’t do that. You are the boss, and a lot of big shots are coming to the opening.” He giggled. “But afterward…I might have arranged for a sitter for a few hours.”
“Omega, you’re killing me in the very best way possible.” I shifted Sawyer to my other arm and brought my mate in for a group hug. “I love you, and I don’t know how I ever managed without you.”
Lifting his face, he rose for a kiss then rested against me. “You’ll never have to try again. I love you, too, alpha. And our son and our life and everything about us. But everyone is waiting for you, so let’s go so we can get home sooner.”
“My favorite place to be.”
“And next week, I’d like to go to Cuffed with you and try something I’ve never done before.”
“That’s a broad field,” I teased. He’d gotten pregnant so fast, we had never even scened together. Yet.
