well, but Brian had been his friend since high school and he missed him most. He even missed the two-year-old terrors Samuel and Dylan. Brian had told him on the phone not long after they'd moved in to Maryanne and Joe's place that the boys were giving their grandma a run for her money.
    Jason couldn't wait to see what William would be like at that age. He hoped he wouldn't be quite as bad as the twins. The problem with the boys was they each had the other egging them on. Jason didn't know how Brian did it most days. He would be utterly exhausted running around after two of them. He usually was by the end of the day anyway and all he had was five-month-old William.
    Alex was amazing with his son. Jason had never seen such a large and imposing man turn to complete and utter goo before. Yes, Alex had curbed a great deal of his Alpha instincts around Jason, especially considering the circumstances they met under, but when Alex held his son in his arms, everything about him softened.
    All the problems and demands on the day seemed to drain right out of the bigger man. His body relaxed completely and this serene expression came over his face. Jason loved it.
    The second Alex walked through the door each night, he shed everything that wasn't necessary and sought Jason and William out. Jason handed over their son and Alex took him with great pleasure.
    It had been decided when the construction started that, due to the nature of their work, both Alex and Jake couldn't take any extended amounts of time off. Jason was fine with that. He already worked from home and had no problems having William with him during the day. That had been his plan anyway when he'd fallen pregnant.
    Whenever William went down for a nap, he worked. When he woke, Jason played with his son for a while. Anything he couldn't get done, he would pass on to a couple of his staff that he'd hired when he'd started getting more work than he could complete in a reasonable amount of time. Both Jerry and Cecilia worked from their homes as well and were members of the Leyburn pack.
    Alex didn't like the idea of his mate remaining home by himself with their son with so many strangers traipsing in and out, so Rick had volunteered to extend his leave from work for a few extra months so there would always be two of them at home with the kids. Jason enjoyed having the extra company in the house, and Rick being there helped him feel a little safer.
    "What do you feel like for lunch?" Jason asked as he walked into the dining room. Rick was feeding Charlie a large bowl of mushed veggies. Charlie seemed to be loving it if the massive toothy grin on her face and the happy slaps of her hands on her highchair table were any indication.
    Rick thought for a minute, then fed Charlie another spoonful. "I could really go for a couple of those beef and cheese pies."
    Jason groaned. That sounded awesome to him. "I think we might still have some in the freezer, let me check."
    Jason made his way into the kitchen and opened the massive double-door freezer. With eight shifter men all living under the same roof, they tended to go through a great deal of food. That was one of the reasons Jason couldn't wait for the construction to be complete. He wanted Brian to come home and cook. It sucked that both Maryanne and Brian were living under the one roof, meaning the four of them were left to fend for themselves.
    The quality of meals had certainly gone down since Brian had temporarily moved out.
    Jason moved a few things, then whooped for joy when he found the packet of frozen pies. He laughed as Charlie copied his enthusiasm and ended up spraying mashed veg everywhere, then broke into hysterical laughter.
    "Sorry." Jason laughed.
    "No, problems," Rick replied. "I'm used to it now. You will be soon as well."
    Jason nodded. He secretly couldn't wait. William was a big boy and milk alone hadn't sustained him for a while; he was already eating some soft breakfast foods and pureed veggies.
    "After the
