I lay there completely exhausted. When I hear Thaddeus' panicked voice making me sit up.
"See told ya, a bloody bread bag. You're too big for these things" I hear Ryland say.
My heart rate picks up, they are joking right?
"Maybe she won't notice," Ryland says.
"Notice what?" I ask and they go quiet. Orion walks out.
"Please don't panic, the chances are low especially since it took a year before you fell pregnant the first time"
"What?" I squeak.
Sitting up, Thaddeus walks out with a pair of shorts on, along with Ryland, both of them staring at me nervously.
"It broke didn't it?"
"It's not like I meant for it to happen" Thaddeus says.
"This can't be happening" I say to myself when I feel the bed dip, hot tears running down my face and into my hair as I flop back on the bed.
Orion climbs on the bed straddling my hips. "What do you want to do?" He says, making me look at him.
"Don't cry, why are you crying?"
"Because he only has to sneeze in my direction and I get knocked up" I choke out.
"Somehow I don't think it works that way" he says, making me laugh from the thoughtful look on his face.
"You know what I mean, he has super sperm and I know you won't let me take them pills"
"It's fine Evie, firstly the chances are pretty low since you have been taking those pills, secondly would it really be a bad thing if you were?"
"Yes! I don't want anymore, we can't replace him. I don't want to replace him" I tell him, the words leaving my lips really making what I said hit home.
"Having more kids isn't replacing our son, nothing will replace him Evie. He was here, he was ours and nothing will replace him but that doesn't mean we can't move on and have more" Orion says.
I shake my head, "not saying now, like I said the chances of you falling pregnant are low because of those pills, but later on you may change your mind" he says leaning down and kissing my tear stained face.
I wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him closer when he sniffs me before pulling back.
A strange look on his face,
"You do smell different" he says and I look to Ryland in panic. Orion, noticing my gaze, looks at him too. Thaddeus staring between the three of us.
"Evie?" Orion says, I shake my head and Ryland steps forward but Orion dips his face back to my neck, running his nose across my shoulder inhaling my scent. I don't know how he could smell anything while I was covered in their scents and had fed off both Ryland and Thaddeus.
"Evie?" Orion says, looking at Thaddeus.
"What?" I squeak but he knew, Orion knew.
"Did you eat our mailman?" Orion asks. Thaddeus seemed shocked like the thought never crossed his mind.
"No! Of course not" I tell him. Ryland lips pressed together as he looked at the ceiling.
"Evie, where is our mailman?" Orion asks.
"Probably at home, doing mailman things" I tell him and Ryland snorts before containing himself.
"She killed the mailman" Orion says to Thaddeus who pinches the bridge of his nose and shakes his head.
"Where did you put him,Evie?" Thaddeus says and my eyes dart to Ryland who was staring at the roof. He looks down noticing us all staring at him.
"What?" He says looking just as guilty as me.
"And you helped her cover it up?" Thaddeus says.
