This family is everything.

Chapter Three - BM

"Hey, baby," Edward says, leaning over the chain link fence where I stand with Milo and Mila at my feet, his hat on backwards, his face so dang beautiful.

It's half time, and Fork's High is kicking butt. Edward and Jasper are Noah and Ollie's coaches this year since last year's coach was abruptly fired for putting his hands on one of the boys. I think he's very lucky one of those boys wasn't one of our boys.

"Hey, fella."

He kisses my nose, and I sigh on the inside.

"The boys aren't here yet. They said they'd be here for the game."

"Mommy, I'm thirsty." Mila pulls on the bottom of my shirt while Milo grips my leg in a death grip.

"Hold on, babe." I say, and she nods before I look back at Edward.

"They'll be here."

"Daddy, can I go on that side with you?"

"Come here, princess."

Of course one daddy from Mila, and Edward's melting like a piece of warm chocolate on a hot summer day.

Edward steps back, and I lift Mila up and hand her over to Edward. "You want to go, baby?" I ask Milo, but he shakes his head and hugs my legs tighter.

"I'll keep Mila while you go to concession."

Mila waves and grins happily, letting her daddy carry her to the edge of the field where she can get a close eye on her brothers. Milo grabs my hand, and we go for drinks and popcorn and candy because you can't go to a football game without all the treats.

The line is long, and the game is about to start by the time we finally get what we need.

Milo carries a treat in one hand and holds my hand with the other as we weave through the crowd to get back to Edward and Mila. Harlow is at the fence with Leo and Peter when we get there, and Milo lets me go to run into his big bro's arms.

Peter kisses my cheek and Leo bear hugs me. "Where is Max?"

"He's here," Leo says, side eyeing Peter. "He couldn't find a spot, so he let us off. We missed the first half already, we didn't want to miss the second."

I hand him some popcorn and Peter and him go to town like starving animals. They're so cute.

Harlow gushes about how cute Jasper looks coaching the game while Mila's skipping to the fence since the clock has 15 seconds before it starts.

"Peter," Mila screeches, out of breath and gripping the fence.

"Hey, what about me?" Leo says, affronted.

Peter reaches over and grabs Mila, pulling her back to our side, and gives her cute little kisses all over her face, making her screech and giggle before Leo pulls her from his arms and gives her his own crazy kisses.

Peter lets Milo sit on the fence in front of him, and Mila does the same with Leo as we watch the third quarter of the game.

Fork's High is still kicking butt.

"What's wrong?" I ask Leo when he keeps looking over his shoulder. He bites his lip and shakes his head, and I just know something is up.

Peter clears his throat roughly just as Fork's scores another touchdown. Harlow jumps up and down, screaming her excitement, Mila joining in, but my eyes are glued behind me, on Max who is holding a baby in his arms, a tight smile on his gorgeous face.

"Maximoose…" I say over the crowd. "What…"

Harlow gasps when she finally notices Max. Peter says, "Oh fuck," while Leo scolds him for cussing in front of the twins.

"Is that a baby?" Mila asks.

"Hey, Mom," Max says, kissing my head. "This is Luna..."

Luna?

"...my daughter."

Harlow gasps again, Peter chuckles, and even though I'm having a hard time processing Max's words, I still hear Leo slap Peter in the chest.

"Fuck, sorry," he wheezes.

The buzzer goes off loudly, making Luna flinch in Max's arms, and he rubs her back and kisses her head to soothe her.

"Oh my gosh," Harlow breathes.

Oh...my...gosh!

…

"She left Luna on your doorstep?"

"Baby…" Edward says, rubbing my back.

"No! The girl left a baby - our granddaughter, fella - on a doorstep! What if our boys weren't even home? Oh my gosh, who does that!"

I cannot believe that my precious Maximoose has been taking care of a baby for weeks and has not said a word.

I have a granddaughter.

An adorable one.

I glance behind me into the living room to see Luna on her belly on the floor babbling and blowing spit bubbles into Milo's face, making him giggle and rub his face with his sleeve.

Mila is softly rubbing Luna's head while Harlow looks like she's melting into a puddle on the floor. All of the boys - her uncles - are spread out on the floor, their eyes on the newest little addition to our family.

"How old is she?" Edward asks, and it takes everything in me to tear my eyes of that scene in the living room.

"Four months. She left a birth certificate."

"Who is she?" I ask, feeling myself getting worked up.

Max shrugs and cringes. "I met her at a party. Her name's Heidi. She doesn't want Luna, mom."

Gosh, my heart!

Who wouldn't want that precious little girl.

"She's beautiful, Maximoose."

She really is, and it's because she takes after my boy. The same blonde hair and big blue eyes. She's perfect.

My fella's been pretty quiet, but maybe he's in shock that Max has a daughter. It's surreal to think about.

Max is a single dad because Luna's mom abandoned her.

Max grins in the direction of the living room and nods his head. "I think she loves me," he says, and I die a thousand deaths.

"Of course she does!"

Edward chuckles, and I glance at him as he pulls Max into a hug. He says something into his ear that I can't hear - I want to hear - and Max nods his head.

Luna giggles, making everyone in the living room laugh, and my heart is about to explode.

Harlow and I were just talking about her making Edward a pappy and it turns out Max already had.

"We'll help you with anything, babe. Do you want to move home? Transfer to community college?"

Max chuckles and shakes his head. "I've got this. Leo and Peter help...and Jane."

Jane?

"Jane?"

Max's cheeks turn a light shade of red. "She lives across the hall."

I sense Edward leaving the room, and I wrap an arm through Max's and rest my head on his shoulder. "I can't believe you're a daddy."

He kisses my head and takes a deep breath. "I feel stupid."

"What!"

"I didn't even know she existed."

"That's not your fault. You weren't even told she existed. Maybe we should call someone and see about socking Heidi with neglect. Did you not wear a condom?"

"Mom!"

My gosh, I can't believe I even asked that, but really!

"You have to have safe sex, babe. Gosh, Luna is adorable, of course she is, and I already love her to death, but if you're going to have sex, you need to be protected."

Max is laughing, and now it's my turn to have red cheeks. "Okay, mom. I got it."

But, do you!

I hug my beautiful boy and tell him I'll always be here no matter what and that if he needs help with Luna, I'll be there.

Max taking responsibility for his precious baby girl makes me want to cry. He's so grown up now, and it's really hard for me to let him be that grownup.

"How can a mom not want their kid?" Max says absently, eyes on the living room.

"It's horrible," I say. "But she is going to feel so loved all the time. I'm going to spoil the crap out of her."

"Thank you for loving me, mom," Max says, warming and breaking my poor heart at once.

I start sobbing instantly, and Max kisses my head again and calls for Edward, then I'm in Edward's arms and he's soothing me with his precious love.

"Baby," he murmurs, rubbing a gentle, big hand up my back and into my hair, pressing my face into his wonderful chest. "Low says I'm a pappy."

Now I'm laughing and crying, and oh my gosh, Max has a baby!

…

Harlow insists that her and Jasper spend the night, so she can spend time with her niece.

"Whatever you want, girl," Jasper says, kissing her cheek.

Harlow turns and graces Jasper with her killer smile, and he kisses her nose.

Gosh, sweet!

"Who's your favorite uncle, Loonie?" Leo coos in a baby talk voice. "Uncle Leo, huh? Yep, you wuv your Uncle Leo." Luna coos back and rubs her wet mouth all over Leo's face, and he chuckles and hugs her to his body.

"Give her here," Peter says, stealing Luna from Leo's arms. "Don't listen to your Uncle Bubby. I'm your favorite. Uncle Leo smells, isn't that right, doll face?"

Leo smacks the back of Peter's head, and Mila stands and puts her hands on her little hips. "You're my favorite, not Luna's!"

Peter cringes and hands Luna off to me and scoops Mila off the ground and twirls her around, making her scream bloody murder.

"She looks like Max," Maddox says, grabbing Luna's little fingers.

"She does," I say, staring at my little Maximoose replica. "You're so pretty, baby, just like your daddy."

Luna bounces in my arms and looks around until she spots Max and then she's grunting and reaching for him, her cute little face screwed up. Max takes her, and I watch as he makes her a bottle and feeds her until she falls asleep.

"Fella," I say quietly and look up at Edward. "Max is a dad."

"I know, baby."

"Do you think he'll be okay?"

"He has you, baby, so yeah."

"Aww, fella, do not make me cry again."

"You're nuts."

I snuggle into his side and pray Max will be okay doing this single dad thing.

I still can't believe it.

It's almost unbelievable.

Like a Lifetime movie.

"I think Jasper and I are going to have a baby," Harlow announces out of nowhere.

Edward stiffens.

Harlow grins.

Peter snorts.

"I get to be an aunt to another baby? Yes!" Mila screeches.

Poor, fella.

…

"Are you too sleepy, baby?"

Edward presses his front into my back, wrapping a heavy arm around my waist. His lips meet my shoulder, and I shake my head because heck no I'm not too sleepy.

I'm never too sleepy for my fella.

His hand slips into my panties while he pushes his erection into my butt, and the growl of approval that leaves his lips makes me get goosebumps all over.

"You're so wet," he says, slipping a long finger inside me.

"Only for you, fella," I breathe, pushing my butt into his groin.

He gently bites my shoulder and slips and slides his finger in out and out of me, his thumb rubbing a sweet song against my clit.

"You're such a God," I say and am rewarded with another finger and a sweet chuckle.

When I'm this close to falling over the edge, Edward slips his fingers free and pushes me onto my back. My panties are pulled down my legs, and I watch from my elbows as he slips his briefs off.

"Gosh, you're so pretty," I gush, staring at his erection.

He grips it in a fist, and I fall to my back, opening my legs to make room for him. The second he slides inside, Luna starts screaming and crying, but Edward keeps moving. He bites my lip and thrusts fast and hard, like a real life beast.

"What's the hurry, fella?" I breathe between unforgiving thrusts.

He kisses my face, shushing me with gentle lips and wild hips. I wrap my arms and legs around him and let him love me.

He's so good at it. When I fall over the edge, I have to take a bite out of his shoulder to stay quiet. He grunts and shoves deep inside me one last time before stilling, groaning low, and giving me all his weight.

I run my fingers through his damp hair and turn and kiss his jaw. "You're the best, fella."

"Love you, baby," he grunts. "Now clean up. I know you're dying to check on Luna."

"You don't know everything," I say, grinning.

"Uh huh, then I'll just sleep here." He gives me more of his weight and shifts his hips, making me moan.

"Edward…"

He pushes up on his hands and looks down at me. "Go, Granny."

I gasp, appalled, and he cracks up, falling to his side, and I slap his chest. "I'm not a granny!"

He grabs my hand and kisses my fingers before saying, "Go check your baby's baby."

"Oh alright." I kiss his sweaty chest and grab my panties, one of Edward's tees and a pair of shorts before cleaning up in the bathroom.

My fella is gloriously naked still when I'm leaving the room.

What a stud!

I click the door shut and follow the sounds of Luna's cries down the hall.

Grammy is on her way.
