Gage

Gage stood in the face of Wyatt’s defiance, feeling like he’d just been hit.

“Mine…” he said quietly. The anger, the tension, and the aggression bled from him. This Noah character wasn’t a threat to him so he backed away to sit on the sofa.

“Mine.”

“That’s what he said,” Noah retorted, “so now you can go.”

With a wave of his hand, Gage dismissed Noah. He rested his elbows on his knees to take all of this in. “Is this why you didn’t want to open the door?”

Wyatt lingered by his friend near the kitchen doorway. “Yes.”

“Am I that big of an asshole?” Gage knew he could be. Aaron reminded him of it all the time. But to think that Wyatt would have been frightened of him over it?

And carrying his baby?

Wyatt drifted into the living room and eased on the chair next to where he sat. “I didn’t want you to know because I didn’t want you to feel obligated. I didn’t want you to think I had entrapped you or anything. I didn’t mean to get pregnant at all.”

He fidgeted with the hem of his shirt. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen. But I don’t expect—”

Gage reached out and gathered both of Wyatt’s hands in his. “Why the hell are you apologizing? I was there and I share in the responsibility of getting you pregnant. I knew you were in heat and I didn’t use anything. I was a bonehead and wasn’t careful. But Wyatt—”

He tugged gently on Wyatt’s hands until the man shifted to sit next to him on the sofa. “I won’t abandon you over this. If I’m honest with you, I’m kind of excited. I mean, this…” he rested one hand on Wyatt’s stomach, “this is mine too, you know? So you shouldn’t have to deal with this on your own.”

Out of his peripheral vision, Gage saw Noah drift into the living room and sit in the chair across the coffee table from him, arms crossed stubbornly. “I won’t let you take the baby.”

Gage rolled his eyes. “Do you mind? This actually has nothing to do with you.”

“It has everything to do with me because Wyatt is my friend.”

With a deep breath, Gage steadied his rising irritation. “Don’t you have something else you need to be doing? Someone else to irritate?”

“No.”

Wyatt huffed out a small laugh. “It’s okay, Noah. I’ll be okay now. Why don’t you go home and let me and Gage talk?”

Noah studied his friend, still defiant. Gage didn’t want to have to throw Wyatt’s friend out. Rationally, he knew that Noah was being protective of his friend. Omegas tended to band together like that. It was touching.

Also, aggravating. Especially since now Wyatt was willing to actually talk to him.

“Fine,” Noah said after a long silence. He stood and crossed to Wyatt to rest a hand on his shoulder. “If you need me, you know to call, right?”

Gage met Noah’s gaze over Wyatt’s head. It was clear Noah didn’t trust him. If Gage weren’t so pissy, he might even admit Noah had good reason.
