like.”
    He enveloped her hand with both of his, rubbing it softly as he brought it to his lips and kissed each of her fingers. “That would be unfair. If you have to wait, then so do we. It won’t be all that much longer. Then we are going to ravish you. I promise, you will be glad to have someone here to watch the babies so you can concentrate on us.”
    That was a point that she hadn’t thought of. That was a big complaint after a woman gave birth. They didn’t have the energy for sex. Of course, very few things about this pregnancy had gone according to the various baby books she had read.
    Liam laid his head to her stomach, rubbing the lower skin with his hand. “I can hear them.”
    “What do you hear?”
    “I’m hearing heartbeats. As Mick said, there are three, or maybe even four of them. It is kind of hard to tell because the sound is overlapping. They are loud and really strong, Ever. Damn, it sounds amazing.”
    Liam was so incredibly sweet, and Ever often thought that he was the most sensitive of the brothers. Of course, he was an artist and artists were often that way. Liam observed things in different ways than normal people. He often pointed out things that Ever would never have seen as he did. Liam had put a birdbath in her backyard. As time passed, she realized that it had been strategically placed so it could be observed at any time from the sink. Ever found her eyes wandering to it when she was doing dishes or washing vegetables. Liam would often stand behind her, rubbing her shoulders and watching the birds with her. He would mention variances in their coloration and if he didn’t know a particular bird, he would go to the computer and look it up.
    She remembered a spring day after a very heavy rain when he had come hurrying out of the bathroom to grab his camera. Ever had wondered what the hell he was taking a photo of in the bathroom. When he had come back out a few moments later, Liam had shown her.
    The viney growth outside the bathroom window had perfectly captured droplets of the rain. On the bare branches were red berries that had survived the winter, and from each one was hanging a perfect teardrop of liquid. The photo was amazing in its pure simplicity and beauty.
    She would miss her house, but the birdbath could be brought up to the new house, and she wanted it outside the window in the kitchen. Of course, the new window was bigger and had been built with glass shelves for plants. Kris had said that she could plant her own herb garden.
    Liam turned his head and kissed her stomach. “So many babies.”
    She knew he was being humorous, but it worried her that there might be four. Mick had assured her that it was completely normal for weres to have multiples. Of course, there was nothing normal about her. She was not a full-bred were, and humans were not supposed to give birth to were children. Ever had wondered on more than one occasion if she was so large and uncontrollably cranky because she would probably die during the birth. She didn’t want to die, and the thought was terrifying. Of course, her men wouldn’t want to freak her out by telling her. She had been so moody she would completely fall apart. Of course, what woman wouldn’t, if she were told that she had a death sentence growing in her womb?
    That would explain the need to move up to the woods. They could bury her body on the property and no one would be the wiser. It wasn’t as if anyone would miss her. It would also be a reason to sell her home rather than chance that it would go into probate. She had no legal relationship with the triplets and no real family left who could claim it. What would happen to her house if she didn’t sell it, or put one of their names on the deed at least?
    Kris stoked her cheek softly. “What thoughts have brought you to tears?”
    Ever blinked at him in stunned disbelief. She didn’t know that she was crying. “I was just thinking.”
    “I figured that. About what?”
    She gestured
