The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy

Chapter 0954

"Okay!" I say, cheerful and excited, looking down at my mate's little girl. "Change of plans, Goldie! We're going to welcome a new baby into the world!"

Marigold looks up at me with a little frown on her rosebud lips, clearly still not understanding and not particularly liking the face that candy has apparently disappeared from the schedule.

Jesse laughs, stepping closer to me, reaching out for Marigold. "Come on, hand her over. I'll take it from here."

"What?" I ask, willingly handing over Marigold to my cousin but frowning between Jesse and Jacks. "What's happening?"

"She'll be bored to tears waiting for a baby to be born," Jesse says, beaming at Marigold, who smiles at him and whispers his name. "I'll take Golds and Fifs up to Midnight, see if we can't break into the cake stash."

"Jesse, that's too much," Jackson says, stepping forward with a frown. "You'll want to be in on these conversations as well -"

"Oh, you will all just fill me in later!" Jesse says, waving a hand at Jacks as Seraphina comes running over to wrap herself around Jesse's leg, grinning wickedly up at him. "Besides, you know I'm just a grunt, here to take orders."

I laugh at my cousin, knowing he doesn't mean that. But he just shrugs, happy to do the childcare if it frees up our attention.
