“We’ll be home soon,” I assure Chris, and watch as they go.
The others are searching the room, Core is already downloading data.
“We’ll destroy the lab when we’re done.” Drift crosses his arms, studying the space. “Hopefully he recorded any other places he had dug out in this caldera.”
“I’ll follow the tunnel, see where it comes out.” I take a step forward and am stopped by Drift’s hand on my shoulder.
“No. The two of you will go home. That’s an order.” He looks at us both. “Our job may have just gotten infinitely easier. Yours on the other hand… triplets?” He chuckles. “I don’t envy you that.”
“You forget, there’s more than enough hands to go around in our compound.”
“True. You may need to think about how you’re going to heat part of it. You’ve definitely got work to do in the coming months.”
Shock and I fly back to the compound, barely pausing to kill the bikes before we head inside. As soon as we clear the threshold, Chris jumps up, catching one arm around each of our necks and drawing us close.
“You scared us half to death,” Shock said, a little chuckle escaping with the words. “I’m not sure we’re going to let you anywhere alone after this.”
“I’m okay with that.” She kisses Shock and then she kisses me, her lips the sweetest thing I’ve ever tasted. Maybe the threat of losing her has made me more aware of how precious she is—though I didn’t know that was possible.
Slipping back to the floor, she tells us to go change, and when we come back , she unfurls from where she’d been snuggled against Risk.
“We’re going to have to make some adjustments,” she says, as she leans into us, so she’s touching all three of us with as much of her body as she can manage.
“But not tonight.” Shock bushes her hair back from her face. “Tonight, we just want to hold you.”
“I can get behind that.” She kisses him and it sends a shiver down my spine.
“We love you,” I say when she presses a soft kiss to the corner of my mouth. “You know that right?
The comm line chimes and all three of us look at the tablet on the table.
“It’s probably Laurel checking in.” She grabs it and presses the accept button, and a face fills the screen that is too similar to three I’ve seen before to not be her mother.
“What in the hell were you thinking?” She screeches, barely taking a breath before, “Have all of my daughters gone mad?”
She barely takes a breath for the next two minutes and if not for Chris’ amusement, one of us would have hung up on her.
“Are you done?” Christina asks when she finally pauses.
“I—” her mother looks confused.
“I’ll call you in the morning, mom. It’s late here and I’m tired.”
“Not until you explain yourself.”
She looks at us for a moment, lips pursing into a puckered smile. “I had no idea I’d find myself a galaxy away madly in love with three alien men, but I’m happy I have.”
Epilogue
CHRISTINA
One Year Later….
The meeting has gotten completely out of hand.
But who would have expected otherwise. There are eight babies crawling around the war room floor, and two of the women present are already pregnant again. As far as I know, Jess and I are the only ones who’ve put our mates on birth control. They’re still waiting. I can’t begin to imagine what it would be like in my house when we were outnumbered. It’s crazy enough as it is.
Shock is sitting on the floor with Risk’s son rolling between him and Kimba’s son. And Risk is helping Shock’s walk, though she’s only upright because she has a death grip on his fingers.
And my other…. Arc stands with Jess and his brother, his daughter—the first sian-human girl ever born—in his arms, bouncing her gently as the three of them talk.
“It’s not what you planned for,” Kimba says as she moves beside me, offering a glass of something pink and bubbly. “But it’s damn good, isn’t it.”
“It most certainly is.”
“When does your mother get here?”
I glare at her. She and the others have been all too happy to give my sisters and I the constant reminder that our mother had bullied her way around a dozen laws on both planets so that she could descend upon us and see her grandchildren.
“No one can be blamed for giving in when faced with the sheer force of will that is our mother.”
“You’ll survive.”
“As long as she goes home after the party.” A joint birthday party for the four grandchildren she already has… and a perfect opportunity for Laurel to announce the fifth one that is on the way. I only hope it will make mom warm to her. Because if she’s a jerk to Laurel, I will kick her off the planet myself.
“At least you know she won’t try to stay with you if she tries to prolong her visit.”
“Don’t bet a large sum on that. She might be willing to brave the cold for her grand-babies.”
Three very large men with three very small children make their way to me and I shatter a little bit when all three of my children reach for me. I don’t have enough arms.
But I sit, and reach for them anyway.
The brotherhood doesn’t have to go out to fend off the monsters as often now that the Maker is gone. They haven’t tried to attack any of us since his control over them was severed. And what had once been a broken family is starting to knit back together. It’s not perfect—yet—but it’s better than I could ever have imagined.
