Alec’s brothers laughed, but I was too into the conversation to crack a smile.
“And now?” I questioned.
“And now I don’t see anyone but Keela. No man, no woman, just her.”
I beamed. “That’s so sweet.”
Kane chortled. “Alec isn’t sweet.”
“I beg to differ,” I shot back. “He is very sweet.”
Alec pounded his closed fist against his chest. “Don’t hate, bro, embrace that your girl thinks I’m so... sweet.”
Kane tried to get up so he could hit Alec, but I held Kane in place with my legs and sprawled over the sweet human as I stopped the impending fight.
“Leave him be!” I shouted.
“He is referring to something sexual!”
I rolled my eyes. “How do you know that?”
“Because he is my brother and I know him.”
I leaned my head back and looked up to Alec. “Are you tryin’ to piss him off?”
Alec shrugged, a knowing grin playing on his lips. “I’m bored, baiting him amuses me.”
Brothers.
“Don’t fight,” I groaned and turned into Kane’s body. “I’m too pregnant to try to stop it.”
Kane placed his hand on my hip. “Why don’t you go to bed?”
“Because if I sleep now then I’ll be awake all night.”
Nico scoffed from across the room. “Go into labour and get the brat out then.”
I snickered, “I can’t just go into labour. It will happen when it happens. I’ve two weeks left until me due date anyway, and it’s very common to go overdue... up to two weeks over, now that I think of it.”
“Oh, my God,” Alec gasped with a hand placed dramatically over his chest. “We can’t wait that long. Eight and a half months is long enough!”
Tell me about it.
“What helps induce labour?” Nico curiously asked.
I shrugged. “Long walks, spicy food, herbal teas, sex—”
“Do that!” Alec cut me off.
I snorted. “I would, but Kane won’t have sex with me.”
“What?” Alec and Nico asked in unison then looked at their brother with a mixture of shock and disgust.
Ryder and Damien looked at him with disbelieving eyes, too.
“Don’t you pricks judge me,” Kane snapped and pointed his index finger at them. “You try having sex with your girl when she is close to birthing a child. I’m fucking terrified I’ll bump his head or something... he is so low. He has a secure hold of her pussy now. It’s literally off limits. I just... I can’t touch her like that. That’s my kid’s mom!”
I rolled my eyes having heard this excuse a billion times over the last week and a half.
“Is it weird that I’m picturing what Aideen’s pussy looks like now?” Nico muttered aloud.
I gasped. “Yes, you pervert!”
“Don’t blame me,” Nico stated and looked at Kane, “he brought your pussy into it.”
The word pussy was starting to sound weird to me.
I held my hands in the air. “Let’s just stop talking about me vagina, okay? Brilliant.”
A veil of silence fell upon the room until Alec opened his mouth.
“I’ll do it if Kane won’t.”
“Bro.”
I looked at Alec with a raised eyebrow. “Are you offerin’ to have sex with me?”
“Yes,” Alec replied without hesitation. “I really want you to have my nephew... I’m willing to do anything to help bring on labour.”
Was it weird that my first reaction was to defend the gender of my unborn child as female instead of rejecting my boyfriend’s brother’s offer to bed me?
“Five seconds.”
I blinked when Kane’s voice got my attention. His body was no longer under my legs. I looked up and found Kane, who was now standing over Alec like an animal ready to attack.
Alec leaned as far back into the sofa as he possibly could. “Bro, I’m trying to help-”
“Three seconds.”
“Oh, come on, this is a sweet gesture when you-”
“One second.”
Alec jumped to his feet and exited my apartment shouting, “At least think about it,” as he ran.
“I’ve never seen him move so fast in my life.” Nico snickered. “It’s like he caught a glimpse of the Magic Mike cast and took off after them.”
I burst into unexpected laughter and laughed so hard I thought a little pee came out.
