Number Two

There was a knock on their door and it opened. Jill was there with Adam who was surrounded by flowers and balloons. "Hey!" She whispered. He walked in and Jill followed with Aspen who was covered in more balloons and flowers and Kitty behind him.

"Hey, did you guys rob a flower store?" Byron looked at them like they were crazy.

"Some of these are for Holly!" Jill smiled and motioned to Adam. "Where is she?"

"She is in room 211, downstairs." Malcolm smiled. "We can't take them so when she leaves she has to come say goodbye."

Jill nodded. "I'll tell her. Save a baby for me!" She rushed out with Adam and flowers and balloons.

"So, three?" Aspen took a baby. "And this one is?"

"Uh, three?" Malcolm smiled.

Byron chuckled. "We don't have names yet! We were expecting one child not three!"

"What was the name you had picked out?" Aspen asked.

"Grey Everett for a boy and Iris Moon if it was a girl." Byron stated. "We thought Moon would be funny and very cute for a middle name."

"Well, you only need one more name." Kitty stated. "I love those names. Which have I got?"

"That is Boy one. So, Grey Everett." Malcolm smiled and looked at Byron. He nodded.

"How about Gavin Elias?" Byron stated very randomly.

"What?" Malcolm stared like he was crazy.

"Gavin is Aspen's middle name, if I'm not mistaken, and I like the name Elias." Byron stated. Everyone stared.

"What? I researched everyone before I met you." Byron shrugged.

Aspen laughed. "Of course you did!"

"I love those names. Grey, Iris and Gavin." Malcolm smiled at his little girl. "Hello, Iris. You are going to be loved like crazy! I love you." He kissed her chucky cheek. She made a baby noise and he kissed her again.

"I can't believe you are a father...on purpose!" Kitty joked. She watched Malcolm and how gentle he was with the newborn. She never thought this would happen.

Malcolm laughed. "I know. Cash is going to want to be here."

"Called him on the way. I'm sure the whole crew will be here in no time." Aspen smiled at the baby in his hands. Gavin.

Jill was back. "So, give me!" She took Iris from Malcolm. "Hello, pretty lady!" She kissed her. "Name?" Adam stood beside her and kissed the baby.

"Two." Byron teased.

"No! You can't call her two. She would be number two!" Jill laughed and covered her mouth. It was a reference to going to the bathroom. She was in tears.

The room broke out in laughter. "Holy wolves!" Byron was wiping tears. "We definitely can't call her number two!" He laughed some more. "How about Iris Moon."

Jill took a breath. "I love it! Iris Moon McIntyre!" She smiled. "Better than number two."

Kitty was trying to recover. "I can't believe we are grandparents." She kissed Gavin.

"I know. Grandparents to a planned pregnancy from our gay son!" Aspen piled on.

Malcolm glared. "Watch it!" He was sitting with Byron on the bed. He took Byron hand. "We are dads!"

Byron smiled. "I want to be call daddy! Daddy sounds sweet!"

"Right. Very sweet!" Malcolm kissed Byron.

"If you two start anything right here, we will not babysit!" Kitty threatened.

Malcolm smiled. "Sorry!"

"I'm not really sorry but I will want you to babysit so I'm sorry too!" Byron smiled and winked at Kitty.

Adam hugged his Alpha and Malcolm before they left. "Congratulations! They are all three just gorgeous!" He was holding a boy. He wasn't sure who.

"Thanks, Adam." Byron smiled.

"They are gorgeous!" Malcolm had a thought. "Does this make you Grandpa?"

Adam laughed. "I don't think..."

Byron interrupted. "I think it would! You and my mom got married and she is grandma...you would be grandpa!" He stopped. "If you want the title?"

Adam stared. "Really? I would love to be grandpa!" He hugged Byron without any warning. He wasn't a dad yet and he was grandpa. This wolf stuff was weird.

The grandparents left so that the seven other family members could visit. Cash was first followed closely by Val. They had no information so they were expecting one child.

Malcolm was holding two and Byron had one. He was holding Gavin. He kissed him. Cash stopped and stared as the others walked in. Val dove on Byron and hugged him hard.

"Uh, what is happening?" Cash stared.

Emma was behind him. "Do they know you have three?" She counted twice.

Malcolm smiled. "Yes. Three. Byron has Gavin. This is Grey and Iris. These are your aunts and uncles. You guys have a ton of them so take your time." He was talking to the babies.

Cash took Iris and sat. Tucker took Grey and Veronica took Gavin. She smiled as Byron handed him off.

Veronica watched the baby. "He is gorgeous!" She kissed his hand.

They were hungry and everyone helped with bottles. Emma wanted to feed one so Cash made the sacrifice and gave her Iris. Val was waiting his turn very impatiently. Trevor was beside him tapping his foot. Ruth was patiently waiting for her turn.

Ruth smiled. "I can make them homemade baby food! I have a great recipe that I want to try out. Oh, with your permission and when they are ready for baby food!" She smiled. "Sorry, I got carried away."

"She loves to try out new recipes!" Tucker smiled at his girl.

"We won't turn down any help, Ruth. Thanks." Malcolm smiled at her.

"What he said. We appreciate all of your cooking, Ruth. I'm sure our kids will too!" Byron smiled. This smile wasn't going away anytime soon.

"When do they come home?" Tucker asked. He was feeding Grey.

"Uh, couple of days." Byron answered.

"How is Holly?" Emma wanted to know so she asked.

"She's fine. Downstairs." Malcolm smiled at his kids.

Cash glared at Malcolm. "I can't believe you have children...on purpose!" He smiled.

Malcolm laughed. "Mom said the same thing and Dad threw in the gay thing too!"

"Oh, right. I messed that up!" Cash smiled. "Had kids on purpose and you're gay!"

"Right. Glad you cleared that up." Malcolm smiled. "I'm not gay. Gay would imply that I want every man. I only want Byron. That is not gay."

"That is selective gay. You are a selective gay." Cash smiled.

"Who cares. He is very talented! Should have been there for the sex we had right before Holly went into labor. It was hot! Malcolm made love to me for quite some time! I'm glad he's gay!" Byron chuckled at Cash's expression.

"Well, we switched at the end. It was beautiful." Malcolm smiled.

Tucker laughed and stole a baby. He didn't care which one. He kissed it and smiled. "Touche!"

"I think he won!" Val pointed out. Cash shook his head, he didn't want to hear details. Val handed a child off to Ruth. She kissed a cheek and talked quietly to it.

"These kids are going to be sex addicts!" Emma smiled and kissed the baby in her arms.

Byron laughed and agreed.
