Knox’s POVFinally, it's the day of the damn baby shower.I’m excited, but mostly I’m ready for this shit to be over. And I’ve got a surprise for Sienna that she has no clue about. She’s definitely going to be mad at me for the way I pulled this off, but she’ll get over it.She thinks we’re heading to my mother’s house for the shower.But we’re not.We’re going to our house.The one we’ve been renovating for months.The one that’s finally done.My mother’s been over there all week with Sienna’s mother, setting up everything, from decorations, to food, to the heated tent out back. The dual garage doors are finished, lights setup in the yard, everything is staged perfectly. The empty lot next door is cleared for parking. The whole place looks insane in the best way.The house itself… man, it’s gorgeous. A three-story brownstone located in Bronzeville, renovated from top to bottom, neutral color baby room already done, our master finished in grays, whites, touches of yellow and blue. It

Knox’s POV “Man, bro, I’m just telling you,” I say, shaking my head as I lean back against the high-top table. “Now that the house is finally done and I’m getting ready to put my penthouse on the market, I don’t even know what Sienna’s gonna want to do with her place. She might sell it… or she might keep it as an investment property.”Stephen lets out a low chuckle, sipping his drink. “That house is too nice to just let go. I don’t see her getting rid of it.”He pauses, then smirks. “I’ll talk to sis. I’m making decent money right now anyway. Me and Carmen are doing our thing anyway by staying together.”He exhales slowly. “And Keisha? Well she barely there. When I do see her, she’s already leaving. So technically… it’s really me and Carmen’s place. We can just keep paying rent to sis.”I laugh under my breath. “Yeah, man. I mean, it’s a solid spot. A real three story condo style home. Not one of those fake-ass condos that are basically just apartments.”Stephen nods. “Yeah, she said

Knox’s POV As the last of the stragglers finally start drifting toward their cars, the energy in the house shifts. The music is lower. The laughter is softer. That post party quiet starts to creep in, you know the kind that settles into the walls once everyone’s gone.That’s when I notice my sister Kira walking back into the house, with one baby strapped tightly to her chest.I follow her inside without saying anything at first, just watching her body language. She moves slower than usual, shoulders tense, steps distracted. She heads straight toward the first-floor nursery, and I trail behind her, my boots barely making a sound on the floor.She stops abruptly, staring down at the crib like she’s trying to solve a problem that won’t give her an answer.“Hey,” I say gently. “Kira… you okay?”She jumps and whips around so fast she almost loses her balance.“Shit, Knox, you scared me.”I raise an eyebrow. “You’re in my house. But again, are you okay?”She exhales hard, the kind of bre

Knox’s POVAfter the initial shock wears off, the very real, very loud realization that I did not have a baby girl but instead produced a whole grown infant of a big healthy boy, I finally start to breathe again.I mean… this kid didn’t come out newborn, sized. No. This baby skipped that stage entirely. He’s not fitting into newborn clothes. He’s not even pretending. He’s going straight into three to six month outfits like he’s late for something.I look over at Sienna, tears streaming down her face as she rubs his tiny back, whispering to him like she’s known him forever. The doctor clears his throat and says, “Alright, Dad, come on over and cut the umbilical cord.”And I just stand there.Frozen.Because what the fuck just happened?Where is my baby girl?My mind has been set on pink blankets, bows, and daddy daughter tea parties. I had a whole future planned. And now I’m standing here staring at my very handsome, very large son wondering how fast my entire life just shifted.I mean

Knox’s POVOne Year Later“Oh my God… babe. You look amazing.”The words leave my mouth before I can stop them.Sienna steps out into the backyard, and for a second, just a second, everything goes quiet in my head. The music fades. The chatter blurs. All I see is her.She’s wearing a cream-colored, fitted lace dress, sleeveless, empire waist, hugging her body in all the right places. And for a woman who had two babies back-to-back in less than two years, she looks unreal. Full in her hips, thick in her thighs, her ass sitting just right. Soft, womanly, and all mine.People start clapping, cheering, and whistling.I’m standing at the front, holding our baby girl, Little London, who’s already got that solid sixteen pounder build just like her brother did. She’s only three months old, but she’s sturdy, bright-eyed, and looks damn near identical to Carter at this age. Same cheeks. Same nose. Same everything.Sienna catches my eye and smiles, and I swear that smile still hits me the same w
