“Totally your kid,” I teased.
Ande dropped down onto one knee and helped Addi into her clothes.
The moment she was dressed, she ran out of the room, hitting the door frame as she went and knocking herself onto her ass.
She screamed, but before either Ande or I could get to her, Germaine was there, picking her up and cuddling her into his broad chest.
“Sucker.” Ande laughed as she walked over to me and pressed her hand onto Tex’s chest. “I swear this kid would sleep through the zombie apocalypse.”
He was a great sleeper.
Unlike Addi.
Hopefully, the next one would be, too.
Wrapping my arm around Ande’s waist, I guided her out of the common shared bedroom and back into the large kitchen.
Everyone was there, gathered around the island, getting their food.
Ande and I fell in line.
Before I could start loading my plate, Tex was stolen from my arms by Nash.
“Hey!” I grumbled.
“Sorry, it’s just nice to hold a kid who isn’t a complete nutso.” Nash nuzzled Tex.
“Your kids aren’t that bad,” Ande lied.
Nash leveled her with a look. “They’re all like their mother. I’ve lost hope of ever getting a normal one.”
We all laughed at that.
And were still laughing about that when Folsom and Kobe came barreling into the room.
Folsom cut the line and started chatting it up with Ande.
Folsom and Kobe’s kids followed in shortly after, heading straight to the kids’ table that had already been pre-loaded with plates of food for them all.
“…daughter is freakin’ badass. She’s taking MMA lessons of all things. That’s how she learned how to do what she did to that asshole,” Folsom said to Ande.
“Who are you talking about?” Atlas asked.
“Her name is Elliette McBride. Though, from what I could tell, she’s currently trying to get that changed. She filed a petition with the court this morning,” Folsom said. “She’s the daughter of…”
Atlas’s brows rose. “Tough life.”
“Tough life, indeed,” Ande murmured.
“Sounds rather familiar,” Zip drawled from her sprawl next to her husband. “Changing my name was the best thing I ever did.”
Nash snorted.
I looked over at Nash, my gaze zeroing in on his face. “Why do you look like that?”
His lips twitched. “No reason.”
“Zip,” I said, “why is he smiling like that?”
