ranch just walked into my house.
Jonathan was downstairs.
“Hey, did you find Frances?” he asked me.
“Yeah, he broke his leg on the trail,” I said. “Bone sticking out of his skin.”
“What?” he looked at me in shock. “And how is Jenny?”
“I don’t know,” I said. “The doctor is with her now. She doesn't look super hot.”
“Yeah, Anna said she looked like death,” Johnathan said, and I almost smacked him.
“Don’t say that,” I said. He raised an eyebrow and then got a look at my face.
“Why?” he asked. “It’s not that serious, is it?” he asked. “Jacob…”
“I don’t know,” I answered. “I don’t know what is going on right now.”
“Gee,” he said and sat down on the couch. “Everything was fine this morning.”
“Things can change in an instant,” I replied. “You know that.”
“What would make this perfect right now is if a wolf shifter walked in,” he said, and I glared at him.
“Stop,” I replied.
We were downstairs for a ridiculous amount of time. I could hear Jenny and the doctor talking, so I knew that whatever was happening wasn’t some sort of dire emergency. Still, my heart was in my throat.
The door opened half an hour later, and Frances limped in with his leg all wrapped up.
“How is she?” he asked, completely oblivious to the fact that he was still bleeding.
“Dunno yet,” we both said in unison. He looked worried but fell silent as we waited for the doctor’s word.
Eventually, after what felt like an eternity, the doctor beckoned us all upstairs. When I tried to get a word out of him, he shook his head and said that Jenny would tell us.
At that point, I was convinced that she was going to die. There was just something about the fact that he wouldn’t tell us, and the fact that she looked so pale, that made me fear for her life.
“What is it?” I asked as I turned to her. She, in turn, looked at Frances.
“What happened?” she asked. He shook his head.
“Badly timed accident,” she said. “I’m sure it will be fine.”
“But…” she said, and I squeezed her hand.
“Jenny, what’s the matter with you?” I asked.
“You can tell us anything,” Jonathan said. “Even if...even if it’s bad. You can tell us.”
She swallowed hard and then looked between the three of us.
“Remember that we discussed the eventual possibility of...well, everything?" she asked.
“Yes?” I asked, even though I didn’t know what she was referring to. “What’s the problem? What are you saying? Are you talking about if one of us…?”
“Well, that will happen eventually,” she said. “But I mean the opposite of death. I mean…”
She put her hands on her stomach, and our jaws dropped.
“You mean...?” I asked with a smile, and she nodded.
“Yes,” she said. “I’m with child.”
“You are?” Frances said. He seemed to forget about all his pain he limped forward.
“Everything is all right, though?” Jonathan asked.
“Yes,” she said. “It was just...pregnancy. Apparently, some women react that way. He thinks I am about four weeks along, give or take a week.”
She looked between us then.
“You guys are happy, right?” she asked, a little bit nervously
“Yes!” I cried. I couldn’t be happier. I rushed forward to kiss her and the three of us nearly ran into each other trying to kiss her at the same time. She laughed and moved around so we could all pile in the giant bed with her. We had bought it just for this surprise, and it was perfect. It was more than perfect. It was heaven.
“I was so worried you guys would be jealous...or want to know the paternity...” she said. “Even though you said you wouldn’t be.”
There was a beat where we all looked at each other. I could see her shift with nervousness, but it didn’t last for long.
“You have made us the happiest men on earth,” Frances said. “And bears, I guess. And as soon as my leg heals, I’ll show you just how happy you make me.”
“Same,” Johnathan said as he nuzzled her. “But we don’t have to wait for my leg to heal.”
I snuggled into her neck, and Frances sat at her feet as Johnathan snuggled her other side.
This was the perfect ending to a perfect day. I should have known what only happiness would come our way. It had to, with such a perfect love.
