At least we had made progress. He had tried for all of us. And that was enough for now.

Chapter 42
Jasper
I frowned at the plane tickets shoved in our office drawer at home when I went in there to respond to some new photo shoot offers via email.
It had been a week since my 'miraculous' recovery and I was determined to get back to work. We all were, in fact, since I no longer required a part time nurse but did have to continue attending physical therapy once a week till I got the all clear from a professional.
Things were great at home with Skye and Cole. We were happy although there were certain heated arguments at times over who got to fuck whom first during our sex marathons. Skye and Cole usually succumbed to my dominating nature but she challenged me a lot and it pissed me off and turned me on both at the same time.
Just yesterday, I had been about to tell her I loved her. A lot. But I stopped myself. It wouldn't be very cool if I let her have all the power. Trust was a hard sell for me but she seemed to be okay with it. Whether I said those words to her or not, she was crazy about me.
I rubbed my jaw while studying the return plane tickets to Amira. I knew Cole's friend and business partner had gifted him the tickets two nights ago. Armaan something or another. He was insistent that we accompany him and his wife to his country on their next trip which was two weeks away. An all-expenses-paid holiday.
Why was the guy so generous? I had heard Amira was an exotic desert nation but I wouldn't have picked it as a first holiday destination for our throuple. I guess we could do with the vacation though. Skye would probably love it since she was a fan of this wife of Armaan's.
What the hell...it was free, anyway.
Shrugging, I placed the tickets back and went to work on my computer.

2 weeks later...
Skye
I looked down at the pregnancy test in my hands and gulped when I realised the positive plus sign was real. No joke. It was not going to change to a negative. It was not a false alarm because this was the third test I had taken today. I was officially and undoubtedly pregnant.
Shit.
Shit. Shit. Shit.
This was not part of the plan. For a long, long time. I was with two guys! How were we going to work a baby into this when this entire throuple thing was still so new to me? My relationship with Jasper was still in the healing stages.
Blowing out a breath, I stared into the bathroom mirror and wondered what I was going to do. I had no idea who the father was.

I placed my sneakers into one of the suitcases and gave Jasper a pointed look when he wouldn't move to pack his stuff. We had to catch a flight to Amira in the morning. Armaan and I were almost like best friends now and there was some kind of function back at his childhood home so he really wanted us to be there. We had been working so hard these past two weeks, I was looking forward to the break.
"Dude, at least pretend to be helping me out, will you?" I said with mock irritation and threw a sock at Jasper who was sitting right beside me on the bed.
He tossed it aside absently and continued to frown at his laptop. I sighed and crawled into bed next to him, watching as he typed up a reply to one of his work emails. Jasper wasn't too excited for the trip. I figured he was only going because Skye and I were eager to go.
My phone buzzed with a text and I picked it up from the pillow to check it out. It was from Armaan.
-'Hope you're all set for tomorrow' he had texted. -'Bring lots of sunscreen.'
I laughed a little and sent him a thumbs up. Putting my phone away, I turned to see Jasper watching me with a raised eyebrow, his fingers still on the keyboard.
"You two seem pretty cosy," he murmured in a tone that bordered on suspicion.
"Shut the fuck up," I replied carelessly.
It had taken me getting a text from a guy for him to shift his focus from work. It was amusing and so like Jasper. He licked his lips, giving me one last thoughtful look before resuming his typing. I rolled my eyes, unwilling to get into this conversation. I was in too good of a mood.
Jumping out of bed to continue packing, I said to him, "If you want to fight so bad, baby, go bother Skye. She loves giving as good as she gets from you."
Jasper didn't reply but when I looked up from folding a pair of jeans, I saw the smirk he was trying to hide.
Fucker.

"Hey."
Skye jumped a little when I entered her room and found her sitting on her bed staring into space.
A light smile curved her lips as she looked at me approaching her. "Hi. What's up?"
I eyed the already packed suitcase and carry-all she had placed near the door. So neat and organised. So unlike Skye.
"Cole told me to come bother you," I murmured, placing my hands on the bed on either side of her and leaning forward to capture those sweet lips in a hungry kiss. "He's busy with packing so I guess we can leave him out of this for now."
She giggled as I pushed her
