“Two,” Vanessa said at the same time that Elli said, “Four or five.”
“Where are you going to put five kids?” Vanessa asked Elli in dismay.
“We’re going to buy some land on the other side of Tate and Brisa,” she looked over at Brisa. “We’re in negotiations now, but I’m hoping it’ll all go through by the end of the week so that we can start clearing the land.”
Vanessa shook her head. “You all are crazy,” she said. “Are you going to keep working full-time with half a dozen kids?” she asked Brisa.
“Not with half a dozen,” Brisa laughed. “I’ll stay full-time with the first couple, I think, but we’re going to start looking for a second vet to work with us. If I need to cut back, I will. But as of right now, I’d rather not.”
“Just wait until the baby comes,” Vanessa said. “I’ll bet you change your mind.”
“Maybe,” Brisa responded. “But I’d bet Tate breaks before I do. He’s so excited to be a daddy, I’ll bet he’s working from home for the first year after this one comes.” They laughed.
“Archer’s the same way,” Vanessa admitted.
“Keaton, too,” Elli said. “It just about killed him that we waited until the end of the first trimester before telling anyone.”
“It’s a virility thing, I think,” Vanessa said. “He wanted his Wolf Brothers to know he’d proven his masculinity by putting a cub in you.”
Elli and Brisa looked at each other and said, “Men!” at the same time.
The women sat and talked until the sun sat low in the sky, and their wolves came running up. The party broke up when they returned, because the men smelled terrible after running outside in the wilderness. The three pregnant women’s sensitive stomachs were unable to tolerate the odor. Besides, Tate’s lovemaking was always more playful after he’d been out with the pack. Brisa always looked forward to his antics…after he showered, of course.
As she waited for him that evening, Brisa smiled to herself. Life with Tate would always be a battle of wills, but there wasn’t another creature she’d rather fight them with.
