She gave a strained smile to the nurse. “Test them both. I bet they don’t have the same father. This one here is Zack’s.”

Sandy closed her eyes as soon as Zack took their girl out of her arms.

The next time she awoke it was to two babies crying and daddies singing to them off key, trying to keep them quiet. She was the luckiest woman in the world. She winced as she sat up in her bed.

“Pass them to me. They’re hungry.”

Both men turned and had huge grins on their faces. Zack placed his baby on one side and Jake placed his on the other.

Jake kissed her. “You were right. Emily here is mine.” She raised her eyebrow at Jake.

Zack chuckled. “Yep, very rare they said, but Abby’s mine.”

“Oh, so I do all the work, and you two get to name them.”

They both shrugged, the Cheshire-cat grins never leaving their faces.

“You can name the next lot, we promise,” Jake said.

She kissed Emily’s head. “Your daddy is crazy if he thinks I’m having more of you.”

“Oh, you’ll forget the pain. All the women I’ve spoken to today have said you would.”

Sandy shot a glare at Zack and kissed Abby’s cheek. “Your daddy is loco if—”

She was interrupted by her brothers coming in arguing with Zack’s sister. “You say that now, but just give us a chance.”

“No, I’m through with humans…” Gwen trailed off as she looked at the two little bundles nursing in Sandy’s arms.

Sandy’s brothers both groaned, told her they’d come back after the babies finished, and went to wait outside.

“They’re perfect, Sandy.” Gwen touched their fingers.

Sandy smiled at Gwen. “Yes, they are. When are you going to give in to my brothers? They are your mates.”

Gwen glared at her then shook her head. “I’m engaged to be married, will be married in two months. I’m through with human men. Well, besides Matty.”

Sandy sighed. She’d had this conversation a thousand times before. “Gwen, you could be happy just like me, and I know you want this.”

Gwen looked down at her with an envious stare. “Yeah, I do, but what do I do about Mother?”

Sandy smiled as she watched her two men rub their hands together. “Oh, trust me, between us and Susie and her men, we all agreed to keep her busy. You have a month and a half we reckon before she’ll catch on with how busy we’re going to keep her, so go now.”

Sandy watched as Gwen kissed both Emily’s and Abby’s head and rushed out the door. Her men looked at her and Zack asked, “Are you sure your brothers are good with what we are and are happy to have one woman between them?”

Sandy smiled. “Are you two?”

They both nodded and Jake leaned down to whisper, “I love our family and wouldn’t change a thing.”

“We are the luckiest men on earth,” Zack added as he leaned down and kissed her cheek.

Sandy beamed up at both of her men. “I love our family too.”
