“Four months,” Ryo whispered, struggling to choke back his panic. Intellectually, he’d expected this. As a man facing down the prospect of being a first-time father, he was scared shitless. That gave him very little time to make preparations. “Okay. Thank you.”

“Everything will be perfectly okay.” Hades smiled kindly as he leaned against his mate.

“What about Theris’s job?”

“I’m standing right here.”

Ryo ignored his lover and kept his focus on Hades. “Will he be safe? Will it hurt the baby? What about after the baby is born?

There’s no little Reaper day care,” he blurted, using Theris’s words from earlier as he started to hyperventilate. “Will the baby be a Reaper? He won’t be a skeleton, right?” Gods, he didn’t know how he’d react if Theris gave birth to a miniature skeleton.

“Relax,” Hades said around his laughter. “Reapers are called, not born. Teleporting won’t hurt the baby or Theris. Your mate works maybe two hours a week in total. I think you can raise a child around that schedule, don’t you?”

“Yes, that will be fine.” Ryo didn’t even know what he was saying anymore. He needed to get out of there and back to his cabin before he made a total fool of himself. “Yes, that’s great. Four months, you said. Yes, yes, that’s acceptable. Right, then. Good day to you.” With that strange and jumbled monologue, he picked Theris up into his arms and held him tight until they were safely inside their home once again.

“That was very rude,” Theris chastised as he wiggled to get free of Ryo’s hold. “Hades was a big help.”

“Yes,” Ryo repeated, feeling like a parrot. Polly want a cracker?

Or a baby? “Yes. Right. Crackers and babies.”

“Oh, love,” Theris whispered, pushing at Ryo’s chest to get him to sit on the sofa. Then he grabbed the back of Ryo’s neck, pulling him down and forcing his head between his knees. “Deep breaths, Ry.

Everything will work itself out. You’ll see.”
