“Saw the group chat? You didn’t cry at home over it, did you? It’s no big deal. I’m just one kid ahead of you. Twins, you know,” Lucien teased over the phone.

Landon frowned and hung up.

Kaia watched him gloat through his calls, chuckling, “Finally ticked off everyone?”

Lucien blinked, confused. “What’re you talking about? I’m just sharing the good news. Everyone should know about something this great.”

Kaia knew his show–off streak all too well. “Time for bed, honey.”

At her words, he leaned down, pressing his face to her belly.

His deep voice murmured softly, “Babies, be good, okay? Don’t make Mommy work too hard.”

Kaia laughed, “They can’t hear you yet.”

“They can,” Lucien insisted, kissing her stomach gently. “I’ll talk to them every day, honey. It’ll make things easier for you.”

Kaia shook her head. “Not much different yet. Just craving sour stuff.”

Landon burst out laughing. “Bet you’re having two boys!”

His loud cackle reached Lucien’s ears.

Lucien shot him a glare. “Landon, are you looking for a fight?”

Kaia and Alyssa dissolved into giggles. “Ignore him,” Kaia said. “Anyone who says it’s two boys sets him off.

“What about you? Sorted things out with Landon?”

Alyssa’s cheeks flushed.

“Yeah… mostly.”
