The Last Husband (32 page)
“Zane,”
I shook my head and laughed at his excitement.
“So, you’re not mad?”
“Mad
that I have super virile sperm?” He winked at me and I punched his arm. “Of
course not, I’m probably more excited than a guy my age should be.” He put his
phone to his ear and almost shouted into the phone. “Bro, guess what? We’re
pregnant. We don’t know the sex yet. But guess what? There were two heartbeats.
We’re having twins. I know, bro.” Zane laughed and passed the phone to me.
“Noah wants to talk to you.”
“Hey
Noah,” I smiled into the phone, wondering what he was up to.
“Hey
sis,” his voice is warm. “So Zane tells me I’m about to become an uncle.”
“Well,
you know.” I giggled. “I hope you’re ready.”
“I
guess that means that there is no chance that we will ever be together now.” He
teased me and I giggled. I had only known Noah for a week, but I already loved
him like a brother.
“Sorry
about that.” I laughed.
“You
should be.” He growled. “But fair is fair, Zane found you first. I guess I’ll
just be the bachelor uncle, babysitting every Friday night while you and Zane
go out and party.”
“You
got it, I’m glad you’ll be our on-call babysitter.”
“Try
and get rid of me.” He laughed, but I knew that he was finding it hard being
back in this world. He had hardly talked about where he had been while in the
witness protection program and Zane and I were a little worried about him.
“We
don’t want you to leave ever.” My voice was soft and earnest, I wanted him to
know that he would never be an unwelcome guest in the house. I saw Zane staring
down at me with tender eyes and I reached over and grabbed his hand.
“You’ll
make a great mom, Lucky.” Noah’s tone was serious. “I’m so glad you came into
our lives.”
“Thank
you. I’m so glad I am in it as well.”
“I
gotta go, but I’ll see you both soon.” Noah’s voice caught, and I hung up the
phone and handed it back over to Zane as we walked to the car. “I can’t believe
we are having two babies, we have so much to do.”
“Like
getting married?” Zane raised an eyebrow at me. “I assume we’re going to do
that before the babies come.”
“Well,
yes.” I laughed at the eagerness in his voice. “But that wasn’t what I was
talking about. I had an idea!”
“Oh?”
Zane looked worried. “Please don’t say you want to get all experimental in the
bedroom now, I’m not sure I’m ready for that until the babies come.”
“Zane.”
I shook my head at him in exasperation.
“Okay,
okay.” He laughed. “If you insist, I suppose I can show you some new moves.”
“Zane,
listen to me.” I pulled at his shirtsleeve. “I want us to hook Noah up.”
“What?”
His eyes looked at me in amazement. “We just found out we’re having twins and
we have a wedding to plan, and now you want to hook Noah up?”
“It’ll
be good for him. I think he needs to get out there. I know he hasn’t been back
long, but I don’t want him to get stuck in a rut and well, he never really
talks about where he was. I think this would be good for him.”
“Oh
Lucky, I hope you know what you’re doing.” He groaned.
“I
do.” I leaned up and kissed him as he opened the door for me. “I just want him
to be as happy as we are, because I love you, Zane.”
“I
love you more, Lucky.”
“I
love you to Timbuktu and back.”
“I
love you to Mars and back.”
“I
love you to Neptune and back.”
“I
love you to the sex shop and back.” Zane burst out laughing at his joke and
placed his hand on my belly. “In all seriousness Lucky, you’ve made me the
happiest man alive, and if you think you can help Noah find what we have, I’m
all for it.”
I
smiled up at him gratefully and got into the car. I had gotten my fairytale
ending and I wanted to make sure that Noah got his as well.
