“What do you want to name him?” Cosmo asked as he sat next to me as I cradled our little baby boy.
All I could do was stare at him in awe. I felt like a mess. Exhausted, and in need of a lot of down time, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. He was beautiful. He had a full head of the trademark Desmond ashy white hair. Every once in a while, he would blink, and you could see a peek of my rose gold eyes, but his face looked just like Cosmo.
“What do you guys think of Calix?” I looked at all my mates, all of them just as enthralled with our little one as I was.
Ax was the first to say his opinion. “I think it's good. A strong name.”
The rest of them nodded, all of them looking like they wanted a turn to hold him. I guess I should let them. They are the fathers. I leaned over to the side Avery was on. “My arms are getting tired, you want to hold him?”
His eyes lit up, flashing between me and the baby as his hesitant arms reached out. “Sure. I mean…”
I chuckled, holding him out to him. “You won't break him.” He looked at me like he didn't believe me, but he took the baby, cradled him like the nurse said.
“Oh, wow. Hey, little Calix. I'm your papa. The cool one. The one that will teach you how to get girls, promise.” All of us smiled or chuckled, all but Ax.
“Yeah, right. He will learn that from his dad, Ax, right, Siren?” He winked at me.
“You want him to fuck strangers?” I laughed, trying to get him to remember how we met.
His nose scrunched as he rubbed the back of his neck, and his cheeks reddened. “All right. We will find you a good girl. One that will be a fit for you.” He looked back at my raised eyebrow and he sent me an air kiss. I decided not to let that little comment bother the bliss we all were in.
Cosmo clutched my hand, letting me lean on him as we watched as they all passed Calix around, telling him things that they would teach him or do for him. It was adorable.
I felt a kiss on my head as Cosmo’s voice whispered along my hair, “You are fucking amazing. Never in this life did I think I would be this happy.” His palm met my cheek as he turned my face and gave me a slow, sensual kiss, one that spoke silent words of devotion, love, loyalty, and respect. It was a kiss to tell me that he was in love with me, in love with our life and with the family we had created.
I sunk into that kiss, letting it last as long as he would let it because we were all in this happy bubble that I never wanted to end.
We broke away when I heard Lex talking. “And to make it here on time, your daddy had to take over a plane, knock out the pilots, and change the direction of the flight. Landing it myself to get here in time to see you be born and to be here forbeautiful mommy.” He looked at me, giving me those dark pools of everlasting love and worship. “Mommy is quite amazing. You have the best mommy in the whole world. You’re so lucky.” I was stunned, but also felt my heart grow at Lex’s words. Not knowing that I desperately wanted to hear that kind of praise.
Our kids will have five amazing and wonderful dad’s, but they were only getting one mom. What if I fucked up? What if I wasn't good enough? Being the mom was all on my shoulders and it was a little daunting.
Falcon rolled his eyes. “Yes, let's not encourage our child to steal a plane mid-flight. Do you even know how to fly a plane?”
Lex swung around with Calix in his arms and faced Falcon. “Is it really stealing if I didn't keep it? Also, you act like it's hard to do. Just, you know . . . fly it, and you know . . . land it. Easy.” He shrugged at the rest of us while we all stared at him with wide eyes and dropped mouths.
Well, that was Lex. Always our wild card. I wonder if he will tamper the crazy down when we have all the kids.Kids. Plural.
I looked around at my mates, all their smiling faces, and I realized that even with how horrible the whole pregnancy thing was, I was able to get through it because of these five men. These men that will never leave my side. The fathers of my child and soon-to-be children.
We would be okay. I could do this another four times if I could see all of their faces light up like this. To see their child and hold them in their arms. My eyes started to water again. BeforeI could say some sappy shit, the door burst open, Syris clutching the door frame as his body was visibly shaking.
“I think I have held myselflong enough. I let you have yourprivate labor. Stayed in my seat as the doctors went in, and heard you screaming obscenities to the boys. I evensat on my handswhen I heard my glorious grandchild’s cries of being born. Idemandthat I get my baby sniffing and holding time, and I want it now!”
I saw all the dad’s pushing at Syris’s back, trying to get in to see the baby, and I laughed. “Yes. Yes. Come in. Come meet your grandson, Calix.”
My dad and Syris cried out in excitement, both of them immediately fighting over who would be the first to hold him. Easton was the dark horse in the game that snuck in between the fighting pair and snatched him up, cooing about how he was such a smart boy. Manic rumbled out how he was next after Easton. My dad and Syris were fuming with rage.
At once, I felt all of my mate's hands on me, grabbing my hand, legs, ankles, all of them squeezing me, and I knew that this was only the start of something amazing. Something that we would build to be remarkable. The Syndicate, this family, was going to rule the world.
Chapter 8
Ten years later….
Shit. I really madea mess with that last fucker. I looked at my blood-covered hands and shirt as I turned the wheel onto our compound. After we had Aniyah, my father-in-laws all petitioned us to move from Vegas into their safer locations. Even Ternin kept his mouth shut about it, but in the end, we all decided to stay in Vegas.
We were the heads and needed to keep our tabs on what's going on in our biggest money-making location. We all still traveled around to make sure our hubs were working correctly, sometimes to clean out management that was not working, butwe kept that on rotation. Only one of us traveled out of the city at a time. We always wanted to get back home as fast as possible.
Turning to the left, I slid the car to the garage as quietly as possible.Falcon was going to kill me.
