“Yeah, I feel it too, it’s almost… magical,” Apollo agrees.
“I think it’s more like it just feels right, it feels like home somehow,” Indy adds, making me smile.
“Ryker’s going to show us a few possibilities for property we can build a home on. You guys have to think about everything you want included. So far the list includes a stable, somewhere for Ryker to keep skyreachers… which would be an aviary, I suppose.” I tap my lip in thought. “We should have somewhere we can practice throwing daggers, what else?”
“At least seven bedrooms,” Brax adds as he and Ryker rejoin us.
“Seven? You guys all want your own rooms? I mean, that’s totally fine?—”
“No, Baby, not for us, for our children.”
“You want… six kids?” I ask, my voice pitching high in surprise.
“At least,” Silver adds, surprising me.
“You told us you have that implant, Sugar, but how does that work? Does it ever expire? Will we need to get it removed?” Indy asks, his eyes watching me carefully. Oh boy, I guess now was as good a time as any to tell them.
“They have a five-year expiry, but in my old world, a doctor is able to take them out early.”
“Where is it?” Drake asks. I turn my arm to the side and show him the slight bump there. He studies it before pulling out a dagger. “I can cut it out.”
“Whoa!” Indy says, pulling me away from Drake. “No cutting our wife.”
“It’s not like Iwantto cut her. I’d be careful, and we can use the cream to heal her quickly.”
“It would still hurt her,” Brax growls at him.
“Besides, she didn’t say she wants it out. When does it expire, Sweetheart?” Silver asks, as they all turn to me.
“Ahhh… about… one month ago,” I say, trying to sound innocent as I bite my lip, worried about their reaction.
“What?” Brax turns to me, grabbing my arms as he stares into my face. “Are you saying you could be pregnant, even now?”
“I mean… it’s unlikely, it doesn’t just suddenly stop working at the five-year mark. It’s more likely that I could get pregnant in the near future, especially with how often we…” I trail off.
Brax blinks at me once, then immediately scoops me up and starts walking quickly across the street. “Brax! Put me down!”
“No, I need to put a baby in you.”
“Oh my god, you’re such a caveman!” I laugh at his seriously determined face as the others keep pace behind us.
He storms all the way up to our room before dropping me on the bed, pressing his ear to my stomach, making me laugh. “Whatare you doing?”
“Shh! I’m trying to listen for the baby’s heartbeat.”
“Oh my goodness, it would be too early for that even if I was pregnant,” I laugh, trying not so hard to push him off of me.
“Fine, I guess I’ll just have to make sure you are then.” He sighs while undoing his pants, like me not being pregnant is an annoyance.
“Brax!” I laugh as he slips his pants off and tackles me on the bed, trying to push my dress up my body.
“You know… we don’t want to know for certain who the baby’s father is, so we’re all going to have to come inside of you every time we have sex now,” Indy says as he comes around the side of the bed.
My eyes widen as I ask, “All six of you?”
“Don’t think you can handle us? What if we don’t let you come until all of us have? Think you could take us, then?”
“You… You can’t do that!” I cry.
