Fated To Not Just One But Three novel Chapter 673

Chapter 673: Another Baby

​Olivia’s POV

​I stood there, my heart thumping against my ribs like a trapped bird. I had spent all morning preparing this. I hadn’t told the boys yet; I wanted my three Alphas to have this moment first. They deserved to feel the joy of a new beginning after so many years of looking at death.

​As I walked into the study, the three of them looked up from a mountain of pack maps and legal documents. The air in the room was usually so serious, but their faces softened the second they saw me.

​"Olivia," Louis said, his voice deep and instantly concerned. He stood up to help me with the tray. "You shouldn’t be on your feet cooking. You were still pale this morning. You’re supposed to be resting."

​"I’m fine, Louis. Better than fine," I said, a mischievous spark in my eyes. I set the tray down on the massive oak desk, covering their paperwork. I had placed three identical plates on the tray, each covered with a silver dome.

​Lennox leaned back, a curious smile tugging at his lips. "What’s this? A midday bribe to get us to stop working?"

​"Something like that," I whispered. I moved behind them, my hands trembling just a little. "I told you I made your favorites. Go ahead. Open them together."

​Levi grinned, always the most eager. "If it’s those steak sliders you make, I’m going to be a very happy man."

​"On three," Lennox commanded, his Alpha tone playful. "One... two... three."

​They lifted the silver covers in perfect unison. But there was no steak. There were no spicy eggs.

​Inside each plate, resting on a bed of soft white silk, was a tiny, hand-knitted baby bootie. Lennox’s plate had a gold one, Levi’s had a silver one, and Louis’s had a dark charcoal one. Next to each bootie was a small, white strip of paper—the ultrasound photo I had secretly gotten from Dr. Kapoor that morning.

​The silence that followed was deafening.

​Levi’s jaw literally dropped. He picked up the silver bootie as if it were made of glass, his eyes darting from the tiny shoe to the photo. Louis went completely still, his hand hovering over the plate, his breath hitching in his chest.

​Lennox was the first to look up at me. His amber eyes were swimming with tears, a raw, powerful emotion breaking through his usual stoic mask.

​"Olivia?" he rasped, his voice cracking. "Is this... are you...?"

​"I’m pregnant," I whispered, the words finally tumbling out. "We’re having another baby."

​Levi let out a choked-back sob, half-laughing as he jumped up and pulled me into a fierce hug. "Another one? A little one? After everything?"

​Louis stood up slowly, his face filled with a kind of holy awe. He reached out, his hand trembling as he touched my stomach with the lightest pressure, as if he were afraid he’d wake a sleeping cub. "A new life," he breathed. "A fresh start."

​Lennox walked around the desk and wrapped his arms around all of us, pulling us into that tight, familiar circle. He pressed his forehead against mine, his scent of pine and strength overwhelming me in the best way.

​The boys nodded solemnly.

​"Well," I said, my voice shimmering with excitement, "it seems the Moon Goddess thinks we have enough love for one more. You three are going to be big brothers."

​For a heartbeat, there was total silence. Then, the room exploded.

​"A baby?" Liam shouted, jumping up and down on the sofa. "Is it a boy? Can I teach him how to write? Can he sleep in our big giant bed?"

​"I want it to be a girl!" Leo chirped, scrambling into my lap to press his ear against my stomach. "I want to protect her like Dads protect you, Mommy."

​Leon looked at Lennox, his eyes shining. "Does this mean the house is going to be even louder?"

​"Much louder," Lennox laughed, pulling all three boys into a massive pile of limbs and fur as they started to play-wrestle in excitement.

​Levi and Louis joined in, the sounds of their laughter echoing off the walls. I sat back, watching my three Alphas and my three sons celebrate the news. The trauma of the last four years felt like a lifetime ago.
