You must be fuckin kidding me! Sorry, Kendrick, youre on your own once that water breaks.

You know. This is bullshit. Conall didnt like the sound of that as Zach straightened up and headed for the door. Ill tell her shes staying.
The males looked at each other then they charged after Zach. As Conall followed, he could see his future with Miki slipping through his hands.
* * *
And what about my career? Conridge offered me a teaching position.
Sara smirked. First off. You hate teaching. You hate college kids. And second, Northern California has gotten really progressive and they actually have a few colleges. Some universities, too. This state is making quite a name for itself academically.
Miki gave Sara the finger as the females began laughing. But when Zach, Conall, and a group of Pack males walked in, all conversation stopped.
Zach looked at Sara. What?
Saras eyes narrowed. Just wondering what you want.
What makes you think we want anything? This is my fuckin kitchen, too.
Uh-huh.
Zach went to the fridge, and tossed each of the men a beer. Once they each had one, he headed toward the swinging kitchen door, pushed it open, then stopped. But if I were going to say anything
I knew it! Sara stood up. You just cant stay out of it, can you?
Sara, wait. Miki stood up. I wanna hear what the brain trust has to say.
Zach glared. Look, Tinker Bell, I tolerate you cause I have to. But Conall, against my better judgment, loves your psychotic ass. I dont know why. I dont understand it. But he does. And I have to figure if he loves you, and Sarawho I trust with my life and the life of my Pack on a daily basisloves you, then there must be something about you besides that big mouth and those tiny elf feet.
Mikis eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Kelly leaned in between the two. Why dont I just take this for now. She plucked the gun and its holster off Mikis sweats.
Conall sighed. Hed had some big plans for his life with Miki. House. Kids. Gun shows. But his best friend was blowing that all to hell and back.
But hed forgotten about his Alpha Female. She was in Zachs face so fast that everyone, even Miki, stepped back.
Was that supposed to be nice!
She doesnt get nice. She gets barely tolerated.
You need to back the fuck off. Now!
All Im saying is if she loves him she should just fuckin stay!
And its none of your business whether she loves him or not.Whether she stays or not.
Sara, shes already part of the Pack. She protected Conall. You. And now shes carrying a Pack baby
Miki cut in then. Never call our baby that again.
But if she doesnt want him for the love of all thats holy, put the poor guy out of his misery.
Conall could still hear them going at it, but he hadnt taken his eyes off Miki. He was waiting for her to realize what shed just said. It took her all of thirty seconds. He knew the exact moment, too, by the look of pure panic on her face when she looked at him.
He smiled. A big, leering, Viking smile, he was sure. And Miki was none too happy.
That meant nothing! she practically screeched.
Sara and Zach snapped out of their argument as Conall moved in front of Miki.
That meant everything, Miki-baby. Absolutely everything.
Youre fuckin high. It was a slip. Nothing more. I havent made up my mind about shit!
The two stood toe-to-toe. But for once Conall didnt crouch down to meet her gaze.
Just get over it. I love you. You love me. And weve got baby furniture to buy.
Youre not railroading me, Viking.
You are so in love with me, you dont know what to do with yourself.
You are delusional!
Marry me, Miki Kendrick.
Not on your life!
Well have a May wedding. Or September. After the baby or before?
I will kill you in your sleep.
Youll try.
You are making me crazy and I am sure thats not healthy for the demon seed Im carrying!
He smiled in the face of her yelling. Is that any way to talk about our love child?
Miki let out a strangled scream of pure frustration. And in response, Conalls smile just got bigger.
Thats it! Miki barked. Move the fuck out of my way!
And everyone did. They watched as she stormed out, then they all looked at Conall. He was still smiling. He couldnt help himself. Miki made him smile.
Zach shook his head. Are you sure you know what youre
Mikis voice slammed into them through the swinging door. Move your ass, Viking!
Conall looked at his best friend. I do love that woman.
They have treatments for that kind of mental disorder, ya know.
Miki stood in front of Conalls bed and gawked at it, marveling at how big it was. He must have had it specially made so that his big feet didnt hang over the edge.
