Stacey's POV 

A loud growl erupt and Dylan quickly pulls away from me... creating a very wide space between us.

I rub my neck and look towards the door, Ray Stood there with his balled fist as he glare daggers at Dylan.

I roll my eyes, what a jealous mate I've got myself!

"Alpha, relax, she's my sister" Dylan said. "But she's got her mate, don't get all touchy with her!" Ray grits out.

Dylan and I exchange looks, then roll our eyes at once. 

I move closer to Dylan and snake my arm around his waist.. putting his arm around my shoulder too. 

Ray growls warningly but he quickly shuts up when I narrow my eyes at him.

"He's my brother and he can embrace me anytime... Do you have a problem with that?" I mind linked him.

He simply glares at Dylan and grumpily sat on the couch in front of our bed... He grumbles coherent words under his breath. 

Hmm, well, his possessive and jealous character is something we're gonna talk about too.

"Stop grumbling or you step out!" I told him and he shuts up.

Dylan turns to me and we both laugh.

"You really know how to manage the alpha!" He whispers yo me.

"I can hear you!" Ray said.

I giggle, just then Josh steps in too. I stop laughing instantly and looks down at my lap.

He's sure gonna scold me for getting pregnant at this age.. eh!

"Stacey, how many pups are you carrying? One? Two? Three?..."

Dylan pause and gasp...his eyes move to my stomach as he unwrap my arms from his waist.

"... Don't tell me you're carrying four pups in your womb right now!" 

I wanted to laugh at his wild imagination, but I remembered Josh is here.. so I bite back my laugh.

"Four pups.. four pups... four pups... "

Dylan chants seriously, he counts his fingers and hold out four fingers.. his eyes grow bigger.

He shakes his head, he faced Josh, we can't let our princess raise four pups alone! It's gonna be so stressful for her!"

I took a sneak peek at Josh, he raises an eyebrow at Dylan and stares at him as if he's gone crazy...even Ray is staring at him.

Seriously, I wanna know if Dylan is normal too... He's being asking questions and answering them alone.. coming to conclusion!

"About we divide the pups among ourselves... " He points at Josh. "You and your mate will take two, my mate and I are gonna take one... I think Alpha and Stacey can manage to raise the remaining one!"

He nods and smiles to himself.

"Perfect idea!" He said.

"Are you done?" Josh asked him. 

Dylan nods, Josh smacks his head and he winces loudly.

"Why are you hitting me?" 

"What are you spouting out of your mouth? How did you know she's carrying four pups?! Huh?!" Josh asked and wanted to smack him again... But Dylan dodges.

"Stacey said so!" Dylan said.

I frown slightly...I said that? How come I don't remember?

"When did I said that?"

"When I asked how many pups you are carrying!"

I rolled my eyes.

"I didn't say anything, you just concluded that yourself!" 

"Oh! Really?"

"Yeah, really!"

He scratches his head and I laugh... Drama Lord! Hmm, this nickname suits him better, I'll address him as drama lord now. 

Josh clears his throat and I sober up and waits for what he's gonna say... Actually, I have prepared myself for his scolding.

"Princess, when I heard you passed out I was worried.. so I came over to check on you.. how are you feeling now?" He asked.

I nod.

"I'm fine, Josh"

He nods "that's good, that's good!" Then his eyes move to my stomach.

Ah! Now here's come the scolding!

"Also, congrats!" He said with a small smile.

Wait.. a smile?! Congrats?!

"Josh... Congrats?!"

"Why do you sound so surprised at hearing that?" He asked.

Dylan scoffs.

"Of course she's surprised, with your straight face and all... Who wouldn't be surprised?"

"Yeah, I thought you're gonna scold me about getting pregnant early!"

Josh sighs and places his hand on my shoulder.

"Princess, I've come to the realization that you're no longer that innocent, cute Stacey.. you're an adult now and you're big enough to make your choices..."

Is this my brother... Joshua Rivera speaking?

"... Also, you've got a capable mate.. so I'm rest assured that he's gonna take good care of you and you're gonna be fine since you're happy with him... that's what every parent.. sorry, every brother..."

Dylan and I cut him off with a laugh, he also join in the laugh but he quickly sober up... Indeed, he's a parent to Dylan and I.

"... that's what every elder brother wishes for his younger siblings!" He concluded.

I throws my arms around him and hug him.

"Thank you, Joshu!" I said.

"Now, that's the name I don't like!" Josh said.
