His plump mate (Rebel and Austin) by Buchanan novel Chapter 572

Sinclair POV

All week long, I have worked tirelessly on the enhancements. Kaia and I finally figured out the right ratios and then added the additional configurations for the larger subjects. We tested it on a deer, and it worked. It was fantastic. We were nervous that the deer would be hurt, so we decided to do everything in small increments and not all at once.

By the end, we were able to get everything together, and now the only thing we have left is to turn it into a glove form. Then we will test everything again and make sure it is working correctly in that capacity. I’m packing up my bag, and I’m getting ready to head out.

Aric arrives, though, and I stay an extra hour with him. “I have something I wanted to tell you, sis.”

“Oh, yeah? What’s that?” I asked.

“You’re going to be an aunt.”

I jumped up and into his arms, squealing and smiling broadly. “Seriously?! Poppy is pregnant? You’re sure?”

“She’s about six weeks. I asked for an additional printout of the ultrasound. I wanted you to see for yourself,” he said, handing me the picture.

It’s a grainy, black-and-white photo. I can clearly make out the pup in my sister-in-law’s belly, though. I see the small shape of the head and nose. I cover my mouth and start crying.

“Our family is growing,” I whispered.

He smiled proudly. “Yeah, it is.”

“Do you know if it’s a boy or a girl?” I asked.

“Poppy wanted to be surprised. So we are picking names that can be either for a boy or a girl.”

“What have you come up with so far?” I asked.

“Bailey, Jordan, Carey, and Rene.”

“Those are pretty good. You know, Sinclair is also a unisex name. I’m just saying.”

He laughed and then said, “You’re right. I will tell Poppy.”

“I mean, I’m not smug. It could be a middle name,” I grinned.

Aric shook his head. “You off for Adrian’s welcome party?”

“I am. I don’t know what to wear. I will probably just wear some jeans and a T-shirt.”

Aric smiled. “I thought you might say that. I told Kaia that this is a party and that maybe you should have a dress. She liked the idea.”

He went to the guest closet and pulled out a garment bag. “It’s nothing fancy, but Kaia knows your tastes, and I thought as your big brother, I could gift you something.”

Tears swell in my eyes. I don’t think I’ve ever been gifted anything in my life. I opened the garment bag, and inside was a simple, pale blue dress. The design will definitely complement my plain body. He then pulled out a box of short heels for me.

I put the dress and box aside and hugged him. “Thank you, brother.”
