Ezra's Winner

Eighteen

Ezra's POV

"Uncle Ez!" I heard the little voice and feet run toward me as I walked into the house.

I had a key to everyone's houses so I always walked in without knocking first. Plus I was the last to arrive, everyone was already here. Everyone.

Carter and Sloan's house has expanded over the years. It went from a small three-bedroom to buying the houses right next to them and merging them. Now it had enough rooms and space to house all the Mickayas and their mates.

My heart soared at having the family all together again. It would be nice to turn my mind off from the thing--person I was running from. I can't believe I did that. 

I fucked up the one good thing in my life. 

So fucking badly.

"Hey, little man! How's my number one?" I asked as I lifted my hand and gave him a high five. Jonathan was the oldest out of all my nieces and nephews. He had green eyes like Carter and his curly hair. Nearly his twin.

"Good! Everyone is here! Come on!" He grabbed my hand and pulled me deeper into the house. 

The smell of my Dad's authentic Italian food hit my nose and my stomach grumbled. It was past lunch time and I was in the mood to drown my sorrows in some good red sauce. I rounded the corner and the living room was full. With every face that I love. Every face that I've missed.

"Look! Look! Uncle Ezra is here!" Jonathan screamed.

I watched as my sibling's face lit up as they looked at me. My dads smiled from the kitchen, excitement all over their faces as well. Then all my two nieces got up and ran over to me and grabbed my legs. Mai and Cassie looked up at me with big, happy faces.

"Hi, Uncle Ezra!" 

Mai had grown so much over the years. When they got her she was thirteen, and now...she was getting ready to go to school, the same school as Eli and Delany but just a year behind. Cassie was in her early teens, but the attitude still remained.

"Look at how big you are!" I yelled as I wrapped them all in a giant hug. Giggles filled the air and it warmed me from the inside out. 

They pulled away from me and immediately walked to the kitchen with their grandpas'. 

"Well, look who finally decided to show up." Sloan's voice hit my ears and I turned to find him laid out in a lazy boy. Reclined with his feet up, and a giant--I mean giant--belly.

A laugh escaped me so quickly that I couldn't stop it if I tried. I immediately pulled out my phone and took a picture of him. Sloan rolled his eyes but continued to rub his giant stomach.

"You look ridiculous." I finally said as I walked over to him.

"Shut up, Ez." A smile was wide on his face as I walked closer. I put my hand over his stomach and gave it a soft pat. 

"Look at that," I whispered. "Baby number two. I'm happy for you little brother." Sloan's face warmed as he looked at me and patted my hand.

"Little guy is ready to meet his Uncle Ez," Carter spoke from behind me and I turned around so fucking fast.

My face lit up as I met a pair of familiar green eyes. He, Ambrose, Sean, and Truceson rounded the corner carrying what looked like a bunch of baby clothes. Then I heard feet running down the stairs and within seconds both Eli and Delany had their arms wrapped around me. 

Delany was the shortest in the family but Eliezar? The kid was huge...unnecessarily huge. I don't know how or when he got big, but he did. He wasn't a typical omega, and sometimes I questioned if he was and the doctors got it wrong. Most omegas were under 5'5 and skinny. Eli wasn't muscular like Sloan or Sean, but he wasn't thin. And he sure as hell wasn't short. He was around my height now. Six fucking two.
