“We really need to get one of the fancier models that Homeland has up there. Their imaging is amazing compared to these basic models. This one can pick up heartbeats, though. Would you like to hear that?”

“Yes!” He nodded at the doctor.

Doc Alli picked up the device and pressed it to Mary’s stomach, using her other hand to tap at the machine. “Get ready. Baby heartbeats, especially Species, are fast.”

Then the most wonderful sound he’d ever heard filled the room.

His gaze locked with Mary’s.

“That’s our baby.”

“It is.” Tears filled his eyes. “Thank you for being my mate.”

Mary reached up and caressed his cheek. “I guess it’s a day for amazing things to happen. We’re officially a family, and you said thank you.”

He laughed, kissing his mate.
