“Maybe we can name one of our babies after your mamma.” Renee suggests.

“That would be great.” I say to her as Christophe lays his head in her lap.

“Mamma would’ve loved that.” Christophe says softly.

Because he’s the oldest, he has the most memories of our mamma. He was nine when she died and Fabien and I were eight, Jérôme was seven and Lorenzo and Giovanna were six. She had just dropped all of us off at school and a drunk driver hit her head on. She was ten minutes from our house when it happened. I remember the principal calling my name from the door saying that I had to go with him. That my papa was there to pick us all up. He took us home and we stayed with my grandparents. Back then we didn’t know where he went, later on we found out that he was at the hospital. Our mamma was in a coma for five days. We got to see her before they took her off life support. I still remember that day like it was yesterday and I miss my mamma everyday.

It makes me sad that she knew my papa took Lorenzo and Giovanna from the Mancini’s. I’ll never know how she really felt about it, but I want to believe that she at least tried to get my papa to return them to their family.

Today we head to the airport to head home. I know Renee is nervous for our move. But I also know she’s going to love Sprite Lake and Lake Renegade.

“I’m so nervous.” Renee whispers to me. “And I don’t like women looking at you and Christophe.”

I love when she gets jealous, she scrunches up her face and looks so fucking adorable.

“Stop looking at me like that.” She frowns at me.

Christophe and I laugh.

“Baby, you’re too adorable not to look at.” Christophe says as he kisses her.

I can hear people whispering. Christophe is kissing her and I’m holding her hand. They can all fuck off. I’m so tired of the judgmental stares we get. We’re not hurting anyone. So I make it my mission to stare back at some of them. And mission accomplished. They look away.

The plane ride from Seattle to Springfield is about seven hours with our layover. We’re all excited to show her Sprite Lake. We’ll be here for about a week, then head to Lake Renegade.

Renee

I’m excited and nervous to meet their papa in person. What if he meets me and then decides that I’m not good enough for his sons? That’s one of my fears. Or that the brothers could decide that they really don’t want to share me. Sometimes my fears overwhelm me, I’ve told them how I feel and they’re always reassuring me.

When we’re done getting our luggage, we head to the pick up area to wait for Jérôme. I’m so excited to see him.

“There he is.” Christophe says.

We watch a Black SUV coming closer and stop right in front of us. Jérôme jumps out and picks me up.

“I’ve missed you so damn much.” He says as he kisses me.

Christophe and François get our bags into the car. Christophe gets in to drive and François gets into the passenger seat. I snuggle in the backseat with Jérôme.

“Papa is excited to meet you.” Jérôme says to me as he holds me. “And we’re meeting Tanya tomorrow night.”

“Have you even seen her yet?” Christophe asks Jérôme.

“No, he took her out last night. I heard him come in around midnight. But he was alone.”

It doesn’t take us long to get to their home. And holy shit it’s a huge house.

“This is where you all grew up? It’s beautiful!”

“Papa built this house for our mamma. Everything was made to her specifications.” Christophe explains to me.

“Will we be able to share a room?” I ask.

“We were thinking that you could stay with any of us you choose. Some nights we can stay in one room too.”

I take a deep breath as we park. I see an older version of my men coming out of the front door. I follow all of them over to him. After they all get a hug, he looks at me.

“Papa, this is our Renee. Renee, this is our papa, Dorian.” Christophe says.
