Add an object to multiple others and put the results into an array

I have many objects like 

   {
      "name":"blablabla1",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
   }
   {
      "name":"blablabla2",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
   }
   {
      "name":"blablabla3",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
   }

I need to merge them with jq, like 

jq -s '.' firstone.json secondone.json thirdone.json

After merge, I get:

[
   {
      "name":"blablabla1",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
   },   
   {
      "name":"blablabla2",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
   },   
   {
      "name":"blablabla3",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
   }
]

but I want to add in every object - another one:

   {
      "thisMustBeInEveryarray": "thisone"
   }

But like:

[
   {
      "name":"blablabla1",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
      "thisMustBeInEveryarray": "thisone"
   },   
   {
      "name":"blablabla2",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
      "thisMustBeInEveryarray": "thisone"
   },   
   {
      "name":"blablabla3",
      "something": "blablabla"
      "something2": "blablabla"
      "thisMustBeInEveryarray": "thisone"
   }
]

Is it even possible to be done in one iteration with jq? Because if I merge them like jq -s '.' firstone.json secondone.json thirdone.json mustbeinevery.json, I get mustbeinevery.json just like the last element of the whole array.

Specify mustbeinevery.json as the first input so that you can refer to others by inputs keyword, and add them inside an array constructor.

jq '[inputs+.]' mustbeinevery.json firstone.json secondone.json thirdone.json
