go into detail either. Indigo laughed, actually fucking laughed, as he tightened his arms around Logan. “Sorry, Bean.”
Logan grumbled but kept his mouth shut otherwise.
“The day I met you, I was out at the local coffee shop. Teagan loved their lemon refresher, and she was having a serious craving for it. I can honestly tell you that day I hadn’t expected to run into my true mate, so when I did, I was shell-shocked. When I looked into your eyes, it was like everything clicked inside of me. It was just right—you were the one person who would fill the hole inside of me. A hole I hadn’t even known about until I met you.”
Logan swallowed audibly. It had been the same for him.
“We talked, and I realized I wanted you completely right then and there. I had forgotten about Teagan and our unborn child. It scared the shit out of me. That a stranger could enter my life and change everything in a span of a second,” Indigo said.
Indigo kissed Logan’s head as if to reassure him.
“We traded phone numbers, and I raced home and had forgotten about the lemonade refresher. I got an earful when I walked through the door and Teagan saw my hands empty. I felt like a huge asshole. But Teagan had been my best friend way before she became my wife, and all I wanted to do was tell her how I had found you, that true mates were real. But there was so much guilt—she was due any day with our baby, and there I was over the moon I had met my mate.”
Indigo went silent for a second, and Logan’s heart ached for him. “And so, what happened?”
Indigo sighed. “She cornered me and told me if I didn’t tell her what was going on that very second, I’d quickly find out why pregnant women were so terrifying.” Indigo let out a chuckle. “So, I did. I told her all about you and how we’d met and spent the time talking, and I know the whole time I told her I had a huge grin on my face. It was impossible to hide it. Although I felt guilty once I finished. Instead of getting angry with me or crying, she hugged me and congratulated me.”
Logan stopped breathing and turned around in Indigo’s arms. “She what?”
Indigo smiled down at him. “She smiled at me and told me how happy she was. I thought maybe she was going crazy or something, so I made her sit down and retold her again, and she laughed. And asked me if I’d asked you on a date yet. Of course, I said no because I’m married. She punched me so hard I swore it left a bruise. Her next words were how stupid I was and that there was only one true mate and how lucky I was.”
Logan wished he’d met Teagan; she sounded fun.
“She told me I better message or call you that very second, so I did and set up a date with you. I had to make sure Teagan was really okay with everything, and every time I asked her, she reassured me. We both had believed fated mates were stuff of myths, but we’d promised each other that if either of us found our mate, we would back each other up no matter what. I had no idea she would hold to that, married and pregnant. I had asked her what we would do about the baby, and she laughed it off and said now our baby has two daddies and one mommy—luckiest kid in the world,” Indigo let out a laugh, but his eyes were glossed over with unshed tears.
Logan wanted to tell him he didn’t have to say any more, that it was okay, but he knew he couldn’t. He had to get the full story, and a part of him thought Indigo needed to say it just as much he needed to hear it.
“I was at the high of my life—found my mate, and the mother of my child had accepted and was ready for it. I was lucky as hell,” Indigo said, tensing up, and Logan moved closer, laying his head on his mate’s chest, listening to his erratic heartbeat.
“It didn’t last long as we were talking about how we would convert the guest room so we could all stay together. Because of course Teagan saw no issues with that. She wanted Gabriella to have everyone under one roof.”
“She sounds
