Chapter Thirty-Five

Celia I was fucking mad as Colin drove me to the clinic. I didn’t want to do this, but I soon as I woke up this morning, they’d insisted. They’d called a doctor to come in on a Sunday and paid him a fortune to run the blood test on me. It took an hour or so, but after what felt like days of chewing my thumb the doctor called us back to his office.

“Celia, the test was positive,” he said bluntly and looked at the three brothers behind me. “She’ll need to rest too since she’s a little anemic. So, whichever one of you is the dad needs to take care of her until we can get her blood built back up.”

“Of course,” they said in unison, and I blushed. I wasn’t sure I was ready for other people to know about us, but they would soon enough. I couldn’t think about that right now, however. I had a baby on the way.

I’d gone to sleep, alone, terrified, but now that it had been confirmed, I felt calm. Maybe I’d freak out later, but for now, I was happy just knowing the truth at last. Now, I could go about the business of dealing with it.

“I’ll make an appointment for you with my staff tomorrow, Celia, and have you come back in. We’ll get you an appointment with an OB/GYN and give you more information on what to do from here. I want to keep an eye on you until you get into see the OB/GYN. That anemia can cause a lot of problems for you, so don’t blow this off, alright?”

“Yes, sir,” I said and nodded my head like a good girl. I’d been taught to be polite I couldn’t help it.

“Good, now, I have a golf game to get back to, boys. Have a good Sunday.” He showed us the door and locked up behind us.

“What do we do now?” I asked as we all piled into the car.

“We get married, of course,” Colin said with a grin on his face. “And we take care of you, and that little one, until you’re all better.”

“Married? What the fuck for?” I looked over at him, surprised. “It’s not 1860, Colin. The baby can still take your name if that’s what you’re worried about.”

“No, it’s not just that. I want to know you’re secure. Just in case something happens to the three of us. Stranger things have happened,” Colin said, and Grant started to go on about how the military had rules that if brothers couldn’t be in the same war zones, or something, and something else about if so many brothers joined up, and so many died then the rest would be taken out of the military, or a war zone, he thought, so that the parents wouldn’t lose all of their children in a war.

I stared out of the window as they debated over what the rules were exactly and then took out their phones to prove each other wrong. Well, Keith and Grant did. Colin was beside me driving.

“Which one of you am I meant to marry then?” I asked as he pulled into the parking spot on the road beside our house. “Or, have you not thought about that part yet?”

“Oh, we discussed it last night,” Grant supplied and climbed out of the car to open the door for me. “You’re going to marry Colin. He’s the calmest, the most like to make something of himself, and the most responsible. We thought he would be the best husband on paper. And we thought we’d have a little ceremony here at home for us alone.”

“Wait, does that mean we’re having a ceremony somewhere else?” I stopped as we all walked up the steps. “I’m not sure I want a huge wedding.”

“Why not?” They all stared up at me, surprised.

“I’m pregnant. I don’t want to get married just because of that. But if it will make you all feel better, fine. But fuck, don’t make me go through the whole thing with a dress and all of that. I would like to just fly home and have a small ceremony that my Mom can go to.”

“If that’s what you want, darling, that’s what you’ll get.” Colin came up the steps to unlock the door, and I walked into the house. I went straight to the living room and sank down to the couch. Now what?

I’d have to call Mom, I guess. She might be the only one that could make any sense out of all of this.

“Oh, where do you want to go on the honeymoon?” Colin popped his head into the doorway to ask.

“What?” I stared at him not in a good mood at all. I should be, my dream was kind of coming true, just not in the right order. I wasn’t in the best frame of mind.

“I’d like to order tickets and I need to know where you want to go. If we wait another week, we’ll be on the winter break and we’ll have almost a month. We can spend Christmas week with your mom and then go on our honeymoon. Or stay out there if you’d prefer.”

“Uh, you can’t all fit into my mom’s trailer.” I looked at him in horror. I wasn’t ashamed of where I came from, I was just uncertain how they’d react.

“Oh, then we’ll rent one of those really long RVs with the bedrooms and stuff. No problem.” He grinned. “So, is next week alright then?”

“Colin, what if I lose the baby and you’ve married me for nothing?” I didn’t want to say it out loud, but I had to. I had to remind him that this might not turn out perfectly, especially if I was already having complications. They’d have to find out why I was anemic and what problems it could cause the baby.

“I won’t have married you for nothing, Celia.” He came into the living room to sit beside me. “I’ll have married you for the best reason. For you, Celia. I don’t want to marry you out of obligation, baby. I want to marry you, so I have the right to call you my wife. So that I know you’re taken care of if anything happens to me. So you feel secure, as you deserve.”

“But so soon, Colin?” I knew he was the sensible one and that he’d thought it through, but I had to be sure.

“What're a few more months going to matter Celia? I’m not going to change and my feelings won’t change.”

“You don’t know that,” I challenged him, my eyebrows lifted. “Everything could be different.”

“Then you can divorce me and take half of what I own. But I doubt anything like that will happen. We’re all too perfect together.” He leaned over and kissed me then and the feel of his lips again mine reminded me of exactly how right he was.

“Fine. But when I say I do; I mean it forever. Just so you know.”

“Good. Now let me order tickets.” He kissed my nose and I could only shake my head and smile. They were determined I’d have nothing to worry about. Darn them, making life easy and shit.

***

A week later, we were in a small chapel in Las Vegas, where the boys had flown my entire family, and I was walking down an aisle. I had on a knee-length lace dress with a broad skirt and flat heels that somehow looked demure but suitable to my rock star haircut. I had a small veil attached to a pillbox hat, and light makeup on. Colin stood at the front of the aisle, waiting on me with his brothers by his side.

My mom was the only one that knew the truth right now but as the vows were spoken, I looked at each brother in turn before I repeated my own. We might not be able to marry legally, but I could marry them all in spirit. We were going to stay at the hotel for the night and in the morning, we were jetting off to Bali to have our honeymoon. Mom was coming with us because we’d all decided she needed a vacation.

Rather than being upset with me, she accepted the fate I’d ended up with, and embraced the brothers as my chosen mates. I’m sure the fact they were wealthy didn’t hurt. Maybe that was cynical, but I was logical and that made me feel better. Mom wasn’t greedy after all. She just knew it was sensible and when she saw how happy they all made me; she didn’t care. She wanted my happiness above anything else.

As for the family, none of them could tell the brothers apart, so if I kissed one in front of the family, I just made sure to call him Colin. I don’t know if they suspected anything, but I really didn’t care when it came down to it. They made me too happy to care.

The ceremony finished and we made our way out of the small chapel to the reception area they had. It was only my family. The boys didn’t have anyone they cared about enough to invite, so it was a small gathering.

I danced with Colin, then Grant, then Keith. They all promised to give me a night to remember. I reminded them I was pregnant, not exactly healthy, and we were flying early in the morning. They just smiled and kept dancing.

I finally had to sit down and settled at the table Mom was at. “Why didn’t your boyfriend come?”

“I didn’t want him getting ideas,” she said with a wink. “I’m not ready to get married again, even if I do like him.”

“That’s up to you,” I answered carefully. “But you deserve to be happy, Mom.”

I gave her a look and she brushed her hand as if to brush me away. “Hush. Marriage is for ninnies.”

She laughed and hugged me, and I smiled with her. She might be right but for now, I’d jumped into it with both feet. Ninny or not, I was now a wife and about to be a mom.

“What did the doctor say about your anemia?”

“For now, he wants me to take the prenatal vitamins to see if that helps. When I get back from the honeymoon, he wants to test my blood again. He seems to think the vitamins will do the trick, though.”

“Good.” She nodded and then started to move to the sound of the music that played. “I hope you’ll feel better soon.”

“Apparently, you and I will have our feet up, overlooking a pool that overlooks the ocean in a couple of days. Rest, a little sun and some relaxation will do me good. It will do us both good.”

“And a lot of time in bed, too.” She giggled then saw my shocked face and laughed out loud.

“Mom. You’re being a slut, again,” I said in a miffed tone but then smiled. I liked this side of her. She’d been my mom my entire life, but now she was turning into a friend too. I liked that.

“I think your husband wants the slut tonight, dear. Look at him over there.”

“That’s Grant, Mom.” I rolled my eyes and laughed. “But yeah, he looks rather hungry, doesn’t he?”

“Best go and feed the beast, baby.” She nudged me and I stood up before she said something that might really make me blush.

“You’re terrible, do you know that?” I said and leaned down to kiss her cheek. “I’ll see you in the morning. Don’t miss your alarm!”

“I won’t! As if I’d even forget something like that. Nope, I’ll be right there on that plane with you, baby.”

Luckily, we’d both had our passports done a few years ago for a trip we’d planned to Cancun but hadn’t managed to take yet. We were about to use them now, and we were both excited about it.

I went over to Grant and whispered in his ear that I was going to bed.

I said my goodbyes to my family and to Nan who cackled something about wedding night antics that did make me blush, and then left the reception. When I got to the room, I found Colin there waiting for me. He picked me up, opened the door, and carried me into the room.

We both laughed when he tripped over a stray shoe and dumped me on the bed. “Well, that’s not a great start, husband dear.”

“No, I suppose not. But at least we got the trouble out of the way already.”

“Yes, you did.” I pulled his head down to mine and kissed him with as much passion as I could muster. “I think the honeymoon extravaganza will have to wait until we’ve settled in at the resort in Bali I’m sorry to say.”

“It’s fine if you don’t feel like doing too much tonight, Celia. We understand.” He sprawled out beside me and pulled me close. “I still want to hold my new wife, though.”

“You can do all of that you want,” I murmured as he began to nuzzle at my cleavage. We’d discovered my nipples were even more sensitive than normal now that I was pregnant, and they all had a fascination with finding out how quickly they could make me come with a little nipple play.

Keith had even come home with some kind of sex toy suction cup things. I’d glared at him but had allowed him to use them. I’d made sure he added a set to the suitcase we’d packed for me.

“Mm,” I sighed. “Maybe a little wedding night fun would be acceptable.”

“A little bit, huh?”

“Just a little.”

The other two showed up and before I knew it, we were all naked and sprawled on the bed, tangled up until you couldn’t tell one from the other. I’d been exhausted until Keith started on my nipples, then my tiredness disappeared. Now, I had two mouths on my nipples, and hands everywhere as I rode Colin into a screaming orgasm.

Keith replaced Colin in my sensitive pussy, as he raised me to my hands and knees over his brother. I motioned to Grant and Colin moved away so I could do my new favorite thing. Suck a cock while I was fucked from behind.

It made me come repeatedly and usually, with all the screaming I did, made the brother I was sucking off explode straight down my eager throat.

Keith fucked me just right, the way he knew I liked and it wasn’t long before I went off. Grant followed, and we all fell onto the bed together, completely wiped out.

“You three are going to kill me,” I said with a smile. “But I love you all.”

It never got old and sometimes it still surprised me that I said it. I’d lost a friend for them and had gained an enemy because of them. My life had been hell from the moment I’d met them, but they’d made it all better and worth it. Now I had a future ahead of me beyond anything I could dream of. They were going to build Mom a proper house, and the family’s debt had all been paid off.

The brothers had gifted them all with a new home, but the family had surprised us and turned it down. They wanted Mom to have a new home but otherwise, they were happy as they were. They’d get ahead now if the brothers would help them a little bit, and my loves had all agreed.

They’d done more for us than anyone else ever had, and I couldn’t thank them enough. But I could love them with all that I was. And I planned to do that for the rest of my life, now that I had them.

I fell asleep against Keith’s back, with Colin on the other side of me. We’d started out as a joke, a way to pass the lonely hours, and now here we were, expecting a baby and with wedding rings on our fingers. Even Grant and Keith had their own rings now. We were a family and there was nothing and nobody that could change that. We were what they’d always wanted us to be.

One.

I smiled as I slept knowing that the future was bright. I went to college expecting to be with one guy. I never expected to end up with three who fulfilled my every need and more.
