Tanner leaned over and kissed my cheek.
“I can’t wait to dress Thorin up in colorful little tuxedos. With the wittlest shoes.” My heart was melting.
Tanner laughed. “One custom Odegaard babies line, coming right up.”
Skadi was so calm in my arms. She yawned and her eyelids slowly closed.
But Thorin was spastic. He was kicking and making cute little noises. He was looking all around with his big eyes. Actually, he looked slightly terrified of his surroundings.
“I think maybe Skadi is more like me,” said Tanner. “And Thorin is more like you.”
I laughed. “Why would you say that?”
“Have you not seen how your son is behaving? Like the world around him is a threat?”
“That hardly sounds like me.” But...shoot. I did see it. The poor lad was definitely going to be the one having all the incidents.Sorry, son.If Matthew Caldwell walked into the room right now, Thorin would probably fling himself at the window. We’d have to double check the thickness of the glass in the nursery...
“They’re perfect,” said Tanner.
“You’re perfect.” I smiled up at him.
Tanner placed a soft kiss against my lips.
Nigel cleared his throat. He was holding two baby tubs. “Is it time for the babies’ first baths?”
“I think it’s a little soon for that,” said Tanner.
“It’s never too soon for a bath, Master Tanner.”
I laughed. “Nigel, you don’t have to work. You’re a grandfather!”
He beamed up at me.
“Just enjoy the moment with us.”
“Baths are enjoying the moment. But if you insist.” He tossed the tubs to the side and jumped onto the bed with us.
Chastity laughed and hopped onto the bed too.
I stared around at our little family. Our kids would get to grow up with all our friends’ children. And they’d be loved so much by us and our friends. One big happy family.
I looked back up at my husband. I smiled when I saw that he was already staring down at me.
“What are you thinking?” I whispered.
“That you’ve given me everything I could have ever dreamed of.Thisis so much better than immortality.” He reached over and peered down at Skadi as he held Thorin close.
“This?” I asked.
He smiled. “Yesthis.” He dropped his forehead to mine. “True love.”
