“You did it, baby!” Drake grinned at her as he kissed the top of her head.

“You were amazing, love.” Liam told her.

“Of course, she was amazing, she’s always amazing.” Max scoffed.

“Damn I could use a cheeseburger right now.” Riley said shakily.

Haha I bet! 😅

“What’s wrong with Uncle Leo?” Xander asked as he crawled out from underneath the bench at the same time Liam lowered himself onto it and pulled Riley down next to him, adjusting her so she was leaning back on his chest. Everyone glanced up at Leo who was still staring at the scene in front of him with a dazed expression, jaw slack, eyes a little glazed.

🤣🤣🤣

“That…”

“It’s ok, bro, you’ve never seen a woman give birth before.”

“That was….”

“Messy? Traumatic? Not sexy?” Max offered.

Leo turned an astonished face to Max as he exclaimed, “That was the most bad ass goddamned thing I’ve ever witnessed in my entire my fucking life! That woman is remarkable! She just pushed out an entire fucking human being and then sat up and asked for a cheeseburger! A cheeseburger! That’s hardcore!”

Oh dear 😅 Looks like Liam and Drake's expectation plan backfired something chronic 🤣🤣🤣

“Wait.” Liam looked confused and a little alarmed, “You’re not grossed out? Turned off?” “Are you kidding me, Li? I have never wanted her more! You were right, I flirt with her because she keeps telling me no, it’s a challenge, and I love a good challenge! Also, I’m mostly just doing it to annoy you and piss off Drake. But now? Now I might actually be in love! None of you fuckers deserve her, you all know that, right?”

This guy is just next level 🤣🤣🤣

“Uh…. Not to interrupt, whatever this is,” Jason interjected, “But we’re going to need something to wrap him in.” Liam and Drake still had their hands full with Riley. Max shot a look at Leo, his eyes dipping to the other’s man chest. “Really?” Leo sighed then handed Jax to Max as he pulled the rainbow colored tie dyed Mickey Mouse shirt that Riley had bought him over his head and handed it to Jason. “It was too tight anyway.”

I ROLF'D so hard you have no idea! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Jason wrapped the baby in Leo’s t-shirt and handed him to his mother. “I’m good with delayed cord clamping, but if that ambulance doesn’t get here within the next five to ten minutes, I’ll have to use a shoelace or something to tie it off and I don’t know how the hell we’ll sterilize-“ “Here.” Drake thrust a flask at him.

Bahahahahaha! Drake - prepared, as always!

“I mean…” She paused for dramatic effect then turned her head to look at Max, “I didn’t conceive on the trip to Geneva with Liam like I thought. I conceived two weeks before that, on our secret hilltop near the airport, with you, Max.” “What?” Max’s mouth dropped open in astonishment.

🥰

It was true. His eyes were a bright, deep, cobalt blue. His hair was jet black but that didn’t mean anything. All of Riley’s babies had been born with hair just like that. It would lighten to whatever shade it was going to be by three or four months of age. They all had. But even without the blue eyes, his paternity was obvious to her. His little nose, his lips, even his forehead were an almost exact replica of Max’s. How a forehead could look distinct and familiar Riley didn’t understand. Yet, it did.

So adorables! 😍🫠🤗 Btw - interesting point about the hair - I've only actually met one mom who had a son who was born with crazy amounts of dark hair, but then as he got older, he started losing it, and getting different (lighter, more curly) hair. Just amazing how babies come in so many shapes and sizes, and how each is so different!

“Hey, congratulations, buddy.” Drake said as he clapped Max on the shoulder, “Welcome to the club.” “Are you crying, Max?” Riley asked as the wailing of the siren grew louder, closer.

Of course he is! 🥹🥹🥹

Liam was taken aback, “Mad? How could I be mad? This amazing, perfect, beautiful child is a combination of the two people I love most in the world! This is the greatest surprise ever!” “Yeah?” “Yeah. I remember how overwhelming it was when Ellie was born, this little person that was half me and half the woman I love. I never thought I’d get to experience that with the man I love but…here he is, half you and half her and it’s just as fucking amazing!”

As Max cut the cord, Liam asked, “What are we going to name him?” The names he and Riley had discussed no longer seemed appropriate. This child definitely wasn’t a Fabian or a Ulysses, maybe more of a Percival.

Christ Liam - take pity on the poor child! 😅 He really isn't good at names, is he?

“Nonsense!” Riley waved him off, “It’s settled, “Jason Percival Embry Beaumont Rys.”

🥰

“What’s the Embry for?” Drake asked, already aware that Percival was Max’s middle name. “Do you really want to know?” Riley smirked at him. Drake blinked at her in confusion, “Why wouldn’t I want to know?” “It means hill.” Liam supplied, “Literally, flat topped hill.” “Yeah, because he was conceived on a hill!” Max chirped out.

Hahaha clever!

Liam started spitting orders, using his king voice, “I’ll ride with her in the ambulance, you guys follow behind and meet us at the hospital.” “That’s a negative. I’m going with her.” Drake said in his best military commander voice. “They said only one of us can ride in the ambulance, Drake, and I’m her husband!” “Yes, and I’m her head of security!” “It’s my baby!”

🤣🤣🤣🤣 That said - Max should get the honours.

As they bickered among themselves, Riley looked around for some help. Her eyes landed on Leo, who looked like he was still a little in shock. A calculating smile turned the corners of her mouth up as she called out, “Leo, honey, sweetheart, baby doll, lover…” She emphasized the last word, infusing her voice with copious amounts of sultriness.

Yes, lay it on thick, Ri! 😆

Leo’s head snapped up as the last of the daze that had clouded his eye’s receded. He hurried to her side, briefly glancing at the others before turning his attention back to her as he took one of her hands in both of his, “Yes, my kick ass warrior queen?”

Awww! Love this nickname actually! 😍

“Stop somewhere on the way there and smuggle me in a cheeseburger with some chili cheese fries and a vanilla shake!” Leo hesitated for a bare moment, “You just gave birth. Are you supposed to-“

It wasn't a triple bypass, dude! Give her the damn cheeseburger!

“Oh, and tell those idiots I said Max is riding in the ambulance with me, it’s his baby!”

☝️

Liam shot him a sidelong glance as he doubled checked for the diaper bag and counted kids, “You’re not really jealous of him, are you?”

Drake shook his head, “’Course not. He just annoys the hell out of me.” “Pretty sure that’s why he does it.” Liam grinned. “I’m aware.” Drake grunted with a roll of his eyes,

Yes 🤣🤣🤣

“You did it, baby!” Drake grinned at her as he kissed the top of her head.

“You were amazing, love.” Liam told her.

“Of course, she was amazing, she’s always amazing.” Max scoffed.

“Damn I could use a cheeseburger right now.” Riley said shakily.

“I wanna see! I wanna see! Let me see the baby!” Ellie shoved her way past Max.

“What’s wrong with Uncle Leo?” Xander asked as he crawled out from underneath the bench at the same time Liam lowered himself onto it and pulled Riley down next to him, adjusting her so she was leaning back on his chest.

Everyone glanced up at Leo who was still staring at the scene in front of him with a dazed expression, jaw slack, eyes a little glazed.

Liam chuckled softly as he told Drake, “Well, that should cure him of being inappropriate with my wife.”

“Right?” Drake smirked, “The mystery is ruined.”

Max was the only sympathetic one, “You ok over there Leo?”

“That…”

“It’s ok, bro, you’ve never seen a woman give birth before.”

“That was….”

“Messy? Traumatic? Not sexy?” Max offered.

Leo turned an astonished face to Max as he exclaimed, “That was the most bad ass goddamned thing I’ve ever witnessed in my entire my fucking life! That woman is remarkable! She just pushed out an entire fucking human being and then sat up and asked for a cheeseburger! A cheeseburger! That’s hardcore!”

“Wait.” Liam looked confused and a little alarmed, “You’re not grossed out? Turned off?”

“Are you kidding me, Li? I have never wanted her more! You were right, I flirt with her because she keeps telling me no, it’s a challenge, and I love a good challenge! Also, I’m mostly just doing it to annoy you and piss off Drake. But now? Now I might actually be in love! None of you fuckers deserve her, you all know that, right?”

“Just fucking great.” Drake gritted out.

“Uh…. Not to interrupt, whatever this is,” Jason interjected, “But we’re going to need something to wrap him in.”

Liam and Drake still had their hands full with Riley. Max shot a look at Leo, his eyes dipping to the other’s man chest.

“Really?” Leo sighed then handed Jax to Max as he pulled the rainbow colored tie dyed Mickey Mouse shirt that Riley had bought him over his head and handed it to Jason. “It was too tight anyway.”

“That was on purpose.” Riley grunted as she delivered the placenta.

“Really?” Leo asked in delight as the faint sound of a siren in the distance pierced the air.

Jason wrapped the baby in Leo’s t-shirt and handed him to his mother. “I’m good with delayed cord clamping, but if that ambulance doesn’t get here within the next five to ten minutes, I’ll have to use a shoelace or something to tie it off and I don’t know how the hell we’ll sterilize-“

“Here.” Drake thrust a flask at him.

Jason blinked in confusion, “What’s this?”

“Whiskey.”

“You can’t bring alcohol into Disneyland!”

“That’s Drake Walker you’re talking to.” Max informed him, “He brings his own whiskey everywhere!”

“Ok then….”

Riley cradled her son to her breast where he immediately began rooting around. She helped him latch on as she gazed down into his tiny face.

She watched him as he nursed, his little mouth moving as he gazed up at her with wonder in his eyes that only a soul new to the world has. Suddenly her breath caught, “Oh! We were wrong about the due date!”

“Or he was a little early, love.” Liam told her soothingly.

She shook her head, “I don’t think so.”

Leo leaned over to get a good look at the newest member of the Rys family. “Uh, Li...I don't know how to tell you this, but I'm pretty sure this one isn't yours either...”

“Shut up, Leo.” Liam snapped, “What were you saying about the due date, love?”

Riley looked from her son to her husband as she told him, “I know we were wrong about the due date, because we wrong about the date of conception.”

“How do you know that?” Drake asked.

“What do you mean?” Liam spoke at the same time as Drake.

“Yeah, Ri, what do you mean?” Max prompted her.

“I mean…” She paused for dramatic effect then turned her head to look at Max, “I didn’t conceive on the trip to Geneva with Liam like I thought. I conceived two weeks before that, on our secret hilltop near the airport, with you, Max.”

“What?” Max’s mouth dropped open in astonishment.

“Look at those eyes.” Riley cooed down at the little one in her arms as he released her nipple with a contented sigh. Fresh from heaven and perfect in every way. Ten little fingers, ten little toes and a ridiculous amount of hair.

“Those are the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen in my life.” Liam confirmed as he gazed down at the squirming baby boy in his wife’s arms. “Can I hold him now?”

Riley passed the t-shirt wrapped newborn over, “As if we needed any more proof that he’s Max’s.”

It was true. His eyes were a bright, deep, cobalt blue. His hair was jet black but that didn’t mean anything. All of Riley’s babies had been born with hair just like that. It would lighten to whatever shade it was going to be by three or four months of age. They all had. But even without the blue eyes, his paternity was obvious to her. His little nose, his lips, even his forehead were an almost exact replica of Max’s. How a forehead could look distinct and familiar Riley didn’t understand. Yet, it did.

“He’s mine?” Max felt a sense of wonder stir in his chest as he struggled to swallow the lump that was suddenly in his throat, “Can I hold him now?”

“Of course.” Liam said, placing the tiny bundle into Max’s arms, then discreetly wiping tears from his eyes.

“Hey, congratulations, buddy.” Drake said as he clapped Max on the shoulder, “Welcome to the club.”

“Are you crying, Max?” Riley asked as the wailing of the siren grew louder, closer.

“Yes, I am! This is the most amazing thing that’s ever happened to me! I mean, next to you loving me.” He answered her.

“Ah, Max. I love you too.”

Max looked up from the bundle snuggled in his arms, his face wet with tears, and found Liam’s eyes, “You’re not mad?”

Liam was taken aback, “Mad? How could I be mad? This amazing, perfect, beautiful child is a combination of the two people I love most in the world! This is the greatest surprise ever!”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah. I remember how overwhelming it was when Ellie was born, this little person that was half me and half the woman I love. I never thought I’d get to experience that with the man I love but…here he is, half you and half her and it’s just as fucking amazing!”

“Ah, Li, don’t cry or I’m gonna start again!”

Drake took a turn holding the baby as Liam and Max embraced, laughing, crying, wiping the tears from each other’s cheeks, exchanging soft kisses and ecstatic smiles.

“Can we talk about getting me a cheeseburger now?” Riley asked, but Liam, Drake and Max were too busy cooing over the baby to hear her.

The ambulance pulled up with lights still flashing but they had thankfully turned the siren off.

“Thank God you’re here.” Jason said, “I didn’t have anything sterile to clamp or cut the cord with, so I haven’t done either one.”

The paramedics quickly assessed both mother and child, loaded Riley onto a gurney and clamped the cord. “Who’s the father?” The older paramedic asked.

Everyone looked at Liam who smiled and nudged Max forward.

“Oh, uh…that would be me!” Max raised his hand.

The paramedic held out a pair of sterile scissors and asked, “Would you like to do the honors?”

An enthusiastic smile lit up his face, “Yes, yes I would!”

As Max cut the cord, Liam asked, “What are we going to name him?” The names he and Riley had discussed no longer seemed appropriate. This child definitely wasn’t a Fabian or a Ulysses, maybe more of a Percival.

Riley grinned up at their tour guide and said, “I think we have to name him Jason. What do you think, Max?”

“I like it! We can call him Jace for short!” Max nodded in agreement, then looked over at their guide, “if that’s alright with you, of course.”

“I’d be honored, but you don’t have to-“

“Nonsense!” Riley waved him off, “It’s settled, “Jason Percival Embry Beaumont Rys.”

“What’s the Embry for?” Drake asked, already aware that Percival was Max’s middle name.

“Do you really want to know?” Riley smirked at him.

Drake blinked at her in confusion, “Why wouldn’t I want to know?”

“It means hill.” Liam supplied, “Literally, flat topped hill.”

“Yeah, because he was conceived on a hill!” Max chirped out.

Drake nodded as he turned his head to the side and scratched the back of his neck, “You were right, babe, I didn’t need to know.”

Riley tried again, “Could one of you get me a cheeseburger?”

But none of them were listening. As the paramedics expanded the gurney, dropping the wheels down, Liam, Max and Drake fell into an argument.

Liam started spitting orders, using his king voice, “I’ll ride with her in the ambulance, you guys follow behind and meet us at the hospital.”

“That’s a negative. I’m going with her.” Drake said in his best military commander voice.

“They said only one of us can ride in the ambulance, Drake, and I’m her husband!”

“Yes, and I’m her head of security!”

“It’s my baby!”

As they bickered among themselves, Riley looked around for some help. Her eyes landed on Leo, who looked like he was still a little in shock. A calculating smile turned the corners of her mouth up as she called out, “Leo, honey, sweetheart, baby doll, lover…” She emphasized the last word, infusing her voice with copious amounts of sultriness.

Leo’s head snapped up as the last of the daze that had clouded his eye’s receded. He hurried to her side, briefly glancing at the others before turning his attention back to her as he took one of her hands in both of his, “Yes, my kick ass warrior queen?”

“You’re coming to the hospital, aren’t you?” She batted her eyelashes at him.

His eyebrows shot up in surprise. She usually rebuffed his advances and ignored his attentions. “Do you want me there?”

“Oh yes, I would very much like it if you were there.” She murmured demurely, as she gazed up at him from under fluttering lashes.

He sucked in a surprised, and pleased breath, “Then of course I’ll be there!”

“Would you do something for me?” She asked as she walked her fingers up his exposed chest.

“Anything!” He scooted closer to her, clasping her hand and laying it over his heart.

“Stop somewhere on the way there and smuggle me in a cheeseburger with some chili cheese fries and a vanilla shake!”

Leo hesitated for a bare moment, “You just gave birth. Are you supposed to-“

Riley reached out to caress his cheek with her free hand, “Please, jellybean, for me?”

“Yes, of course, I’ll bring you anything you want!” He agreed as the gurney was lifted into the back of the ambulance. “I’ll be on my way as soon as I get another shirt!”

“Oh, and tell those idiots I said Max is riding in the ambulance with me, it’s his baby!”

“On it!” Leo gave her a thumbs up as the paramedics climbed in the back with her. Then he turned back to the other three men, “Hey losers, Riley said Max is riding with her.”

“Yes!” Max did a triumphant little jump and ran to the ambulance without so much as a backwards glance at the other two men.

Liam sighed, “Fine, let’s get back to the SUV. Leo, what are you doing?”

Leo had his phone out, “Calling an Uber. You guys go ahead, I have to go get another shirt then I have a stop to make on the way, I’ll see you at the hospital.”

“Fine.” Liam waved at him dismissively then started gathering up the children.

“Does he have to meet us at the hospital?” Drake grumbled.

Liam shot him a sidelong glance as he doubled checked for the diaper bag and counted kids, “You’re not really jealous of him, are you?”

Drake shook his head, “’Course not. He just annoys the hell out of me.”

“Pretty sure that’s why he does it.” Liam grinned.

“I’m aware.” Drake grunted with a roll of his eyes, “Now let’s get to the fucking hospital.”
