Grayson was spending a lot of time with Faye and he was loving it. He was still pretty sensitive about Jack not wanting anything to do with him, but he was working through it. I suggested therapy but he wasn’t ready for that I guess. While things weren’t back to normal a week later, they weren’t as hectic as before. “Alright, guys, I think it’s time,” I announced. “Time for what?” Lee asked. “Lamaze. We have a class this weekend.”“Guess we’ve put it off long enough,” Grayson commented. “I’m excited! I wonder if Faye did lamaze with me. I should ask her!”It was adorable the way Grayson wanted to share pretty much everything with Faye. They were definitely getting along great. She was even coming over for dinner to see our house and have us meet Steven.“You’re seeing Faye tonight right?” Lee asked. “Just the two of you?”“Yeah. Having Scarlett there is great, but I think we need some time with just us, you know?” Grayson grinned. “Even if my dad doesn’t want me, she definitely d
Something was off about Skyler.I mean even more so than usual. She was fidgety and her mind was clearly elsewhere. I think she was muttering to herself. “Everything okay?” I asked. “Yeah, of course, why wouldn’t it be?”“You are like in a whole other world, girl.”“It’s just…Avery is leaving.”“Your marriage? It’s hasn't even been that long!”“No, like the country…for a work trip and…I can’t go, unfortunately and I’m feeling really weird about being left alone.”“Oh, I get you,” I sighed. “I’m sorry that must suck. How long is he going to be gone?”“Like two weeks to a month. He’s gonna be all over the place, I think.” Skyler informed me. “I just wish he didn’t have to go.”“He’ll be back before you know it,” I assured her. “And you and I will hang out while he’s gone. My hours at work have seriously reduced. I might as well be on maternity leave at this point.”She smiled. “That would be great then.”“You can help me with baby names! I need something connected but that also feels
“I must say that in all my years, I have never come across such an unorthodox situation.” Dr. Malik admitted. “I know having three people at couples therapy is really weird, but we are all kind of a couple.” I explained. “Yes, I did gather that from Gigi.”“Please apologize to her again, I realize that was a lot of information in a very short time.”“Sure…so…um let’s do introductions then.”“So I’m Scarlett,” I started. “That’s Grayson and Lee, I am pregnant with their babies.”“Like you’re their surrogate?” Dr. Malik asked. “Are you going to lie about that again?” Lee questioned. “Ugh, no I am not a surrogate. One of my babies belongs to each of them.”“Ah, yes I’ve heard of that. And what is your living situation?”“We all live together,” Grayson informed him. “And that’s going horribly.”“How so?”“Lee and I argue over everything from breakfast to who gets to spend time with Scarlett.”“I see.”“There have also been a lot of other things on top of that,” I explained. “Grayson j
“I think that went well,” I commented on the way home.“It was alright,” Grayson mumbled. “I wasn’t particularly thrilled to relive finding out about you and Lee.”“Again, I’m sorry about that.” I whispered. Grayson glanced over his shoulder. “No sorry from you Lee?”“For what?” Lee questioned.“For knowing what you were doing was wrong and still doing it anyways. For purposely pursuing my girlfriend and fucking everything up.”“See, I would apologize, but I don’t really regret it, Grayson.”“You see Scarlett? See how he acts? He took this beautiful thing we had and ruined it for his own selfish reason.”“I’m sorry, can we leave the arguing for therapy please?” I asked. “I love you both but you give me a fucking migraine with all the arguing and whining. You realize a complete stranger, who was definitely a hippy by the way, said you guys were so miserable and messy that you had to go to couples therapy, right? You two have issues that none of us can solve except for Dr. Malik. So ar
Lee knew we had sex. I could just tell with the way he looked at us when we met in the living room before going to dinner. He was very quiet in the car and only focused on his phone.“You okay baby?” I asked, looking over my shoulder.“You’re not a quiet woman Scarlett, you know that right?” He asked. “So when you’re moaning and whimpering, it can be heard in the same house.”“It was my turn, why are you upset?” Grayson asked. “Because…I don't know but I thought we were all going to nap and you two meet up to have a rendezvous and wake me up in the process. It bothers me.”“I’m sorry we woke you up from your nap.” I said. “Don’t apologize, Scarlett,” Grayson frowned. “We were having an intimate moment together and it was beautiful. Lee doesn’t have a right to be upset about that.”“If the roles were reversed you would feel the same way,” Lee said.“But they’re not reversed.”“You know what-”“What was the agreement?” I asked quickly. “No arguing.” The boys chorused dully. “Exact
“So what are you having?” My foot masseuse, Anna, asked me. “A boy and a girl,” I smiled. “And you are their surrogate right?” She nodded over at Grayson and Lee.“No actually um…they’re my boyfriends and they both got me pregnant at the same time.”“So your twins are only half siblings. Oh my. How are you going to explain that to them?”“Oh um…I guess we haven't really thought about that.”“Are you even going to tell them they’re twins since they don’t look alike?” She asked curiously.“Never thought about that,” Lee admitted. “I uh…what age do you think they’ll understand this predicament?”“I mean it’s not that complicated right?” Grayson asked. “It’s like if someone has a dad and a stepdad.”“But that’s not exactly the case.” I pointed out.“It will be when you marry one of us.”“Sure, but they’re still related to each other. They’re half siblings who shared a womb.” Anna declared. “You don’t want them thinking they’re not really related to each other.”“That’s a lot to think ab
Grayson rushed to the closest hospital we could find. Lee and I scratched our chests and necks furiously. Our rashes were spreading rapidly and I was getting more worried by the second.“Are the babies okay?” Grayson asked suddenly. “A-are they still moving and kicking?”I nodded as I rubbed my stomach. “Yeah, I think they’re fine.”“I feel like my skin is burning!” Lee exclaimed. “Oh god what if it’s chicken pox?!”“I’ve already had chicken pox, you can only get it once right?” I asked. “Yeah, definitely.” Grayson said. “Just hold on, we’ll be there in a few minutes, okay?”“Okay…oh I hope they give us cream or something.” I groaned. Finally we reached the ER. The boys rushed me through the halls. I think people thought I was giving birth with how hysterical they were being. We ran up to the window. “Our girlfriend needs help!” Lee practically shouted. “She’s pregnant and-”“Is she giving birth?” The person behind the window asked with wide eyes. “No, but she has a severe rash
Grayson was a nervous wreck!A few days after we got back home, he was pacing around the living room and muttering to himself as we waited for Faye and Steven to show up for dinner.“You’re making me nervous and this has nothing to do with me!” Lee snapped. “Calm down man, Faye already loves you.”“Yeah, but what if Steven doesn’t? There’s only so much rejection I can take, you know?” Grayson wrung his hands anxiously. “He won’t reject you babe, I promise.” I assured him. “Should we have cooked?” He asked. “Having caterers feels gauche!”“It’s not! We can basically only make pizza and we only did that once. Just calm down.”The doorbell rang, causing Grayson to jump. He hurried to the front door as Lee helped me up from the couch. I could hear talking and laughter. It must have been going well so far. Grayson, Faye and Steven entered the living room. Steven was so handsome! He had dark red hair and kind amber eyes. His smile was insane and there were freckles littered all over his
“Lee, I will never forgive you!” “Don’t be like this Scarlett.” “You are completely out of line!” “He’s my son!” Lee exclaimed. “He’s mine too!” I shot back. “You had no right to do this!” “Oh get over it!” “Hey, what’s going on?” Grayson asked, entering the room. “Look what he did to my son!” I whined. Grayson looked into the playpen and saw that Julian had a mohawk. Grayson laughed. “Woah buddy, you look great!” I gasped. “No, he looks crazy!” “I told you, Scar, he looks good.” Lee said smugly. “He really wanted it too.” “He’s three years old, he doesn’t know what he wants!” “You told me to get him a haircut. You said it was a father and son thing and I did it!” “I didn't know you were going to bring me back a punk rock child!” I groaned. “What happened to my prince?” “Mommy!” Julian smiled. “Look my hair!” “See, he loves it, Scarlett. It’s gonna grow back anyways.” Lee said. I sighed as I picked Julian up. “I guess you’re so handsome, you can pull it off.” “Do
I held onto my decision for two weeks. I know that sounds horrible, but I had to make sure that I was certain in my decision. I didn’t have sex with the guys, becuase that felt horrible knowing I was going to break up with one of them. I had also done something kind of big without telling the guys. I just thought it was the best decision. No one knew I had made a real decision. I didn’t want to jinx it like last time. I just kept going about my life, making sure that who I chose was who I really wanted. Every single night I went to sleep, my choice was confirmed. I knew who I wanted and it was time to tell everyone else too.The babies were asleep and we were having lunch. “Can I talk to you guys about something?” I asked. “Of course,” Grayson put his phone down. “What’s up?” Lee questioned. “So…I did something. Um…I had the house across the street bought.” I announced. “What? Why?” “How?” Grayson asked. “Both of your parents, actually.”“So…why did you do that babe?” “So,
“Are you ready to meet your new best friend?” Lee asked Julian as he got him dressed. “You’re gonna meet Auntie Skyler and Uncle Avery’s new baby. Are you excited?”Julian merely laughed in response and kicked his legs. “I’m so excited to meet this little guy!” I sighed. “I still don’t even know his name.”“Well, Skyler didn’t get to do a baby shower or gender reveal, so this is like a big reveal for her.”“I can’t believe she’s a mom now! I’m so excited for her!” I looked at the clock. “Shit we’re late!”“Scarlett, language!” Lee scolded. “We are in the presence of innocent ears.”“Julian cannot understand me when I say ‘shit’.”“You don’t know that. Children understand lots of things.”“You’re right. Sorry Julian. Darn it all to heck, we are late.” I kissed them both. “Gray? Are you and Joy ready?”“Almost,” Grayson called back. “And now we are!”I went to his room and saw him showing Joy herself in the mirror. She looked quite perplexed with her reflection. “Where did she get tha
“What’s going on now?” Lee asked. “Sophia is also in labor right now. My siblings have started their rivalry very early!”“Oh this is going to be insane.” “I know right? Why don’t you just drop me off and then take Julian home?”“Are you sure?”“Yeah, I’ll be fine. Robbie and my dad will be there. Julian has had an eventful enough day, I think.”“Wait, they're having their babies at the same hospital too?” Lee questioned. “Do they want that hospital to still be standing after they’re done?”“Hopefully they’ll be so busy pushing children out they won’t have a chance to yell at each other. You and Grayson can handle the kids right?”“Of course we can. It’ll be fine.” Lee assured me. “Don’t worry about anything except for your new siblings, okay?”“Alright. Just don’t burn down the house.” I chuckled. We arrived at the hospital and I turned around to look at Julian. “You be a good boy for Daddy, okay? Mommy loves you.”“He loves you too,” Lee smiled. “And so do I.” He kissed me. “I l
Lee or Grayson?Grayson or Lee?Windsor or Wrenford?Super hot billionaire who was the father of my baby or…super hot billionaire who was the father of my baby. No wonder this was so goddamn hard. I was comparing perfection with perfection.Only they weren't perfect right? They had flaws. Everyone did. But I loved their flaws too. I loved their differences and the way they were the same and how much they loved me. I could see two timelines unfolding every time I looked at them. But that was nothing new. None of this was. This was the same old song and dance I’d been doing for over a year.Wasn’t I tired yet?“You sound like a broken record,” Skyler shook her head. “I cannot believe after all this time you haven't chosen.”“That’s easy for you to say. You met your soulmate at a party and there was only one of him. I fell in love with two amazing men who impregnated me at the same time!”“So if only one of them got you pregnant, would you have really been happy with that guy?”“Of cou
I walked over to Grayson quickly. “Can I talk to you?” I asked.“Um, sure. Lee’s got the babies. What’s up?”“No, I need to talk to you alone.”I pulled Grayson out of the ballroom, down the hall to where Faye had gotten ready. I made sure to lock the door before turning to him. “What’s wrong?” Grayson asked. I smiled. “Nothing.”Before Grayson could speak again, I had reached out and pulled him to me for a kiss. He gave in easily as he always did. I pulled off his suit jacket as quickly as I could. “Woah, Scar…are we about to have sex?” Grayson mumbled against my lips. “You catch on fast.”“Here? Oh I missed this side of you.”Grayson lifted me off my feet and I wrapped my legs around his torso as he backed into the couch. By the time he sat down, I had his shirt completely open. I didn’t plan on taking it off, but I wanted to feel his abs. I moved my lips to Grayson’s neck. Hearing him whimper was making me even hotter. I had missed his sounds of pleasure and his eager hands o
Dressing a baby in nice clothes is extremely hard. They move too much and clearly don’t like the restriction of their clothes, so they lash out by screaming. “Joy, sweetie, please,” Grayson sighed. “It’s a really nice dress, why are you so upset?”“I don’t think she likes the socks.” I stated. “But they’re frilly and cute.”“Scar, can you do the clasps on Julian’s shirt?” Lee questioned. “I’m sorry, but his crying is making me feel like I’m hurting him.”“Yeah, one second,” I mumbled. There was just too much going on! I was only half dressed and all I could hear was screaming.I rushed over to Julian who was squirming and crying loudly. “Okay, honey, let’s get you dressed.”I quickly clasped up shirt, trying to ignore how miserable he looked. I knew he was tired, but it was better if he was asleep during the actual wedding. I feel bad keeping the babies awake, but it would be worth it. Then after their little nap during the ceremony, they could be awake and doted on during the r
Lee was smiling like crazy. After he won the coin toss he was giddy and had a pep in his step. Sex really can change someone’s mood, even if they hadn’t had it yet. “I would like to have sex before Faye’s wedding,” Lee informed me. “Why?” I asked. “Because I know how you get about romance and weddings, it makes you horny. But then you’ll feel like doing it with Grayson and not me, since it will have been his mom’s wedding.”“You think Grayson’s birth mother getting married is going to make me horny?” “Yes, I’m sure of it.”I laughed. “Um okay, what about tonight?”“Tonight sounds perfect.” He wrapped his arms around my waist. “Grayson will watch the kids and you’ll watch me rock your world.”I kissed him. “And I’ll be on my back the whole time.”“Just the way I like you.” Lee kissed me again. “What are we doing tonight?” Grayson walked in the living room, causing me and Lee to break apart. “Um, Lee and I are gonna hang out.” I stated. “Ah. So I’m on kid duty tonight?” “Sounds
A year ago I was miserable.I had just checked into rehab and I didn’t want to be there. I was sick and shaky and dying for just one pill. I thought I was going to die. But I didn’t. Now I was a mom of two beautiful children who were my entire life. For the first time in many years, drugs were the furthest thing from my mind. I didn’t crave lines and pills and endless parties. I just wanted to take care of my babies. “Scarlett!” Grayson called. “Come quick!”My eyes shot open. I quickly realized the guys had let me sleep in. Something must be wrong now!I jumped out of bed and hurried down to the living room. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “Is everything okay?”“She laughed, babe,” Grayson smiled. “Joy laughed at me.”“But you’re not funny.”“She thinks I am.”I bent over her crib and nearly fainted. She was smiling as she babbled. “Hi princess. You’re laughing now?” I asked. Tears came to my eyes as she giggled, looking up at me. “Am I funny to you? Do I make you laugh?”“Our baby
