Deceiving My Bully Stepbrother

**Alder spoilers in this chapter for those reading Speak to Me**

(Johnnie)

I glanced down at my stomach, the once small bump now much bigger as Caspian rubbed it back and forth gently.

"I bet Alder is going to freak when he sees you." Caspian smiled, his eyes filling with excitement as I nodded my head in agreement.

"Considering I have a bowling ball for a stomach now.." I mumbled, prompting Caspian to roll his eyes before stopping at a red light and leaning across the seat towards me. "Whatever..you look beautiful. In fact..I think I've decided to keep you pregnant as often as possible." He said confidently before bending down and placing a sweet kiss on my lips. "Oh god..let's just see how one goes first please.." I grumbled, knowing he wasn't even joking.

Caspian has loved every single moment of this..like all of it. Even my emotional outbursts and random food cravings. Especially the increase in my s*x drive..some days I'm not really in the mood..and others..Holy cow it's bad. Like six times a day bad..I even wear Caspian out sometimes.

I swear on those days it's like a huge role reversal. Like I'm the caveman dragging Caspian into the room by his leg..obviously, I'm not strong enough to do that..but if I was..it would definitely be happening.

"Well, we just need enough to make our little hockey team..one down, five more to go.." He added, causing me to roll my eyes and laugh as Caspian beamed from ear to ear.

"What if after him we only have girls?" I teased, making Caspian shrug.

We found out we were having a boy last week, that's why we are meeting with Alder today to tell him. Caspian was beyond excited..even though I think he would've been no matter the gender honestly..Visit Jo bnib-.com to read the complete chapters for free. I see how he treats Lainey and Lottie..those little girls have Uncle Caspian wrapped around their fingers..and they can't even talk fully yet!

"Hey, I don't discriminate..all our kids will be badass..boy or girl...I am their father after all.." He beamed..

"Oh god..let's hope they don't inherit that big head of yours too..."

"Which one?" Caspian quipped before wiggling his eyebrows, making me gasp.

"Caspian!" I scolded my husband, watching as he threw his head back and laughed loudly.

I can't take this guy anywhere..I swear.

"Girl or boy..It doesn't matter, I will just be happy that they are ours.." He said more seriously as I felt my chest tighten with emotion.

"Aww, baby, don't cry.." Caspian laughed lightly, making me sniffle as I wiped my eyes.

"You know what happens when you get all mushy on me." I grumbled while feeling Caspian take my hand and kiss the back of it while he continued driving.

"I know..I love you even more because of it." He whispered, causing my stomach to fill with butterflies as I felt our little boy suddenly kick, causing my eyes to widen.

"Is he moving around?!" Caspian asked excitedly and I nodded my head, watching as Caspian placed his hand on my stomach.

I gripped his wrist, moving his palm to where I felt our baby kick before holding it there..and then it happened again, causing Caspian to gasp.

This was always his favorite thing to do at night..he would rub and hold my stomach for hours..whispering things to our son as he responded with kicks..well..we like to think he is responding.

"Our boy must be hungry.." Caspian stated and right on cue..my stomach growled.

"Good thing Alders paying..I know how much you like steak.." He muttered and I slapped his hand, making him laugh again as we drove the rest of the way like that, with Caspian's hand glued to my pregnant belly.

I really did like steak though..it was my number one craving..oh, and cherry pop tarts..not together though..but now that I think about it...

"Oh, there he is.." Caspian stated, drawing my attention to Alder standing outside of the restaurant. I hardly recognized him in his sharp suit as he smiled and waved at us excitedly.

Alder moved to New York officially almost a year ago..and now that he has Jolie, I'm guessing that's where he might stay for a while.

I love Jolie..she and I talk on the phone and text all the time. She even introduced me to one of her friends who designs jewelry, her name is Gabriella and she is making some custom wedding rings for us.

Jolie said that a few months after the baby is born we should all go on a girl's trip together. Caspian didn't quite understand the concept of what that meant..he kept saying that he would go too and just get a separate hotel room so I could sleep with him at night when I was done hanging out with the girls..

This man of mine..I swear..

Alder ran up to the car after Caspian parked and swung the door open.

"Wow Jo...you really are pregnant." He gasped before blinking rapidly and helping me out of the car.

"No s**t Sherlock.." Caspian grumbled while pushing his brother out of the way and taking my hand.

"Well..I mean..I know you said it..but now seeing it, everything finally registered." He explained before stepping up to me and wrapping his arms around my waist, hugging me tightly.

"You should be well versed in that area." Caspian teased while pushing his brother back and giving him a hug next.

"How is my little niece doing?" He asked, making me smile as I saw Alder's eyes lit up.

"She has been rolling over like crazy since she did on video call last week..Can't leave her alone for a second..fuck I miss her." Alder pouted, making me frown before stepping forward and hugging him again.

"I know..thanks for coming anyway. Maybe before the baby is born Caspian and I can come out for a few days..I want to hold her again.."

While our pregnancy was a pretty big surprise..Alder and Jolie's pregnancy had to take the cake..it was a little after he moved to New York..and we didn't even know he was dating anyone fully..yeah, it was a huge shocker..

But we all love Jolie and I honestly can't imagine anyone else more perfect for Alder..they are meant to be..just like me and Caspian.

Viva was a little shocked at first..and there was some drama there..but I guess it was all a misunderstanding. Now things are all coming together..

"Okay, let's go in so you can tell me the news." Alder said while turning and heading towards the restaurant.

Caspian gripped my hand tighter, his smile so pure and happy that I couldn't help but mirror it as we followed his brother into the building.

After sitting down and ordering the food, Caspian pulled out an envelope before sliding it over towards Alder from across the table.

"Mom and Neal already know because someone can't keep a secret very well.." Caspian grumbled before glancing at me.

"Hey..no fair..they practically bullied me into telling them.." I grumbled, making my husband laugh before kissing me quickly.

"I know..my mom is kind of intimidating when she wants to be." He whispered, and I couldn't help but nod..she really is.

"But since you can't make the gender reveal..you get to know early." Caspian explained, making Alder look at him with surprise.

"Thanks little brother..you have no idea how much that means to me." He whispered, emotion filling his voice as he looked down at the envelope anxiously.

I watched as Alder took a deep breath and slowly ripped open the envelope before staring down at..that's when a wide smile pulled at his lips before looking up and glancing between us.

"A boy..you are going to have a boy." He stated breathlessly..being much calmer than I expected..which didn't last long..because soon after he shot out of his chair and lunged for his brother, hugging him tight.

"I am so f*****g happy for you Cas..you have no idea..you are going to be such an incredible father.." He cried, making me choke up as well as I watched Caspian and his brother share such a special moment..

"And you..thank you for giving this bonehead a chance.." Alder said playfully making us all laugh as I felt my heart bursting with happiness.

I can't even imagine what it will be like when our little boy is finally here with us..but what I do know is that he will be loved by so many people..and I can't wait to see our family grow even more.
