“He just wanted a baby. He never meant to fall for both his roommates… And then the clinic called it a mix-up.”
Eli Hart has a plan for everything color-coded spreadsheets, back-up savings, and a carefully chosen anonymous donor at Saffron & Slate Family Center.
One pink test line later, his solo-parent plan is finally real. Then the clinic calls.
A database error. A donor file linkage issue. And the anonymous donor whose profile he picked… belongs to his own roommate.
Marcus Reed donated years ago under strict confidentiality, sure he’d never be anyone’s anything. Now his old file, Eli’s pregnancy, and a high-pressure audit at the clinic have smashed his “no strings” rule to pieces.
He never planned on being a father. He definitely never planned on being one of three.
Jules Navarro has always been “the extra.” The fun roommate. The chaos with a spare key and a soft couch. He loves Eli. He trusts Marcus. He refuses to admit how badly he wants to be more than a helper in someone else’s family photo.

Then the outside world notices.
A clinic audit. A privacy leak and a hungry blog. Family backlash and a career offer Jules is terrified to want.
One wrong sentence. One hidden email. One old fear and the triad they swore to protect nearly shatters on the eve of the baby’s arrival.
Now Eli has to decide if he believes them enough to ask for help instead of doing it alone. Marcus has to risk his job and his family’s approval to prove he chooses them when it costs him something. Jules has to stop pre-leaving and say the quietest truth out
“I want you. I want him. I want this. Choose me, and I’ll choose us back.”
When a single night in the hospital could cost them their son, their home, and each other, three men who never meant to become a family have to live by the vow they
We don’t disappear. We don’t exile. We say the thing out loud and we stay.
