Chapter 137

Lizzy's POV

Elliot came down the stairs with Evan, who was drowsy but still awake. I figured he’d probably kept Ev awake for me, or just read the little guy some books while he waited for me to talk to my parents. And while I knew he would’ve wanted to be beside me during that discussion, I was really damn glad that I could trust him to take care of my baby while I dealt with my family.

Our baby.

He stepped down and tugged me into his arms, holding me close so all three of us were snuggling.

“Eem?” Evan mumbled. “Eem dada?”

Elliot’s eyes went wide, and his lips stretched in a massive grin. Despite my exhaustion and stress, I grinned back.

Everything was going to be okay.

We were a family—we were together. Mates, and parents.

One way or another, everything was going to work out.

“That was a good try bud, but you had more than enough ice cream,” Elliot told him, tickling his little belly lightly.

Ev’s face scrunched up sadly.
