Regardless that I had no concept how he’d talked the brand new homeowners into it, I wasn’t stunned. Kian proved every day how a lot he meant it when he mentioned he all the time had my again.

“I like you a lot.”

“That’s good, candy lady.” Fastidiously cradling our daughter towards his broad chest, he leaned over to kiss me. “Since you’re caught with me eternally.”

“Don’t scare the poor lady off,” Mac joked as he and Bridget entered the hospital room.

Kian glared at him. “Such as you haven’t mentioned the identical rattling factor to your spouse.”

“He does have a degree, pricey.” Bridget poked Mac within the facet earlier than hurrying over to Kian so she may coo at our daughter. “Oh, my goodness. Aren’t you so treasured? It’s onerous to imagine that ours had been ever this small now that they’ve grown up a lot. One in every of lately, I’m going to blink, and it’ll be Molly in that mattress after she has our first grandchild.”

“Over my lifeless physique,” Mac growled. “And whoever the fuck thinks they will knock my little lady up will likely be six ft below, too.”

“Language,” Bridget snapped. “The infant is just hours outdated.”

“Just a little cursing received’t harm her. She’s gonna be a Silver Saints princess,” he reminded her.

“Properly, your first princess simply turned sixteen years outdated, so don’t be stunned after we get a name from the varsity as a result of she thinks she’s sufficiently old to make use of all of the swear phrases she’s heard you guys toss round through the years,” Bridget muttered, shaking her head with a sigh. “Our lady has sufficient sass in her that she’d in all probability make up a few of her personal simply to piss off her trainer after which make a complete case over how she shouldn’t be in bother for utilizing phrases that don’t even make any sense.”

Mac moved nearer to his spouse and pulled her towards his facet. “Molly isn’t that unhealthy.”

“I’m not saying she’s unhealthy, only a handful,” she corrected. “Which you don’t actually see as a result of she’s a daddy’s lady. However some day sooner or later, she’s going to fulfill a person and she or he’s going to suppose he’s as superior as you, and then you definately’ll change your tune.”

“That’s not gonna occur anytime quickly since she’s not allowed so far till she’s a minimum of thirty.”

As they continued to banter, Kian leaned shut and murmured, “Thirty.”

“Thirty what?” I echoed, my brows drawing collectively.

“That’s how outdated Tabitha will likely be when she’s allowed to go on her first date.”

I narrowed my eyes at him. “That’s greater than a bit of hypocritical after I received pregnant together with her at nineteen.”

He shrugged. “Possibly so, however that’s the rule.”

“Good luck laying down the regulation with our daddy’s lady.” I took Tabitha from his arms and smiled down at her. “She’s already received you wrapped round her little finger. I wager all it’ll take is one little pout, and also you’ll cave. Even in the case of courting earlier than she’s thirty.”

He shook his head. “Not gonna occur.”

I didn’t wish to be the sort of one who mentioned I advised you so…however I certain as heck did it when he was confirmed fallacious sixteen years later.

I folded my arms over my chest and glared proper again at her. “Not gonna occur. You’re solely sixteen.”

“Dixon went on a date final week, and he’s solely fifteen!”

Shrugging, I ready myself for the tears that might inevitably come quickly. “Dixon’s a boy. Apart from, it wasn’t even an actual date, Tabby. He went out with a bunch of associates.”

“That’s all I wish to do. We’re going to the dance as a bunch.”
