Chapter Nine

Kayden

Ollie and I unfolded the chairs, laid out a picnic blanket and sat down. We’d picked a perfect spot at the park so we could see the ball field where the fire department and policemen would play.

Ollie let out a long sigh and rubbed his belly as he sat.

I eyed him cautiously. “Are you sure you're up to being out in this heat all day?”

“I'm fine,” he said. “I just forgot how long it takes to have a baby.”

I nodded. “It's a full nine months, or more accurately ten, but they don't ever tell you that.”

“Yeah, no kidding. I don't remember being this tired the last time, though.

I snorted. “You didn't have a five-year-old the last time.”

“Yeah, but I also didn't have an Alpha helping me out either.”

“True,” I said. I sat down on the chair next to him and handed him a bottle of water from the cooler. “You sure that me and Jackson living in the house isn't a buzzkill on your little honeymoon stage you've got going on?”

Ollie turned and looked at me with an expression of exasperation. “For the ten thousandth time, no, of course not. The house is big enough for all of us and even if it wasn't, you are family. You are staying. Unless you want to leave, in which case feel free. Are you thinking about moving in with a certain police officer slash FBI agent? Sir FBI agent?” Ollie chuckled.

I resisted the urge to throw something at him. It wouldn't look good to throw something at a pregnant person. “I won't lie, Turner and I have talked about it. But commitment has never been our thing. Sex. That's our thing.”

Ollie snorted. “I couldn't tell.”

“What?” I said. “It can't be that obvious.”

“No, I suppose obvious isn't the right word. It's just… you're very different after being with him.”

“What?” I said. “Different how?”

Ollie shrugged. “He seems to keep you very well grounded. Don't think I don't remember what it was like when the boys were really young, and we were going through the terrible twos stage. You had to take more time-outs to control your temper than the boys did.”

I nodded. “That was not my favorite time of being a single dad.”

“Same.”

“And you're right, being with Turner has always kept me grounded. He evens me out.”

“Don't get me wrong, Kayden. You're an amazing dad and I was always in awe of the fact that you knew when you needed to take a break, and Jackson is as level-headed and sweet as they come. You did an amazing job with him.”

“Thank you. That means a lot. I did worry during that phase that one day I just wouldn't be able to take it anymore. I'm thankful that I had you.”

“As you should be,” Ollie said, and we laughed.

We watched the teams warm up on the field. The police department wore blue t-shirts, the fire department wore red. Oddly enough, we had dressed the boys and ourselves in similar attire. Ollie wore a red polo, while I wore a blue tank top and the boys mirrored their Alpha fathers.
