The look on Harmony’s face was one of amusement. She knew I was freaked out by the idea of holding Presley. “Rory! Have you never held a baby before?”
My head shook as I glanced back down to the tiny little angel. “She looks so…peaceful.”
Harmony sighed. “Trust me, you wouldn’t think that at two in the morning when she’s screaming to the top of her lungs for food.”
With a chuckle, I looked back at Harmony and chewed on my lip. “What if I drop her?”
She rolled her eyes. “You won’t. Trust me. Besides, my arms could really use the break.”
“Oh! Well yes, let me take her so you can stretch your arms.”
I reached out and took in a deep breath as Harmony gently and expertly placed Presley in my arms. The feeling that came over me was one I’d never experienced before. My chest squeezed as I leaned down and took in a deep breath. “She smells like heaven.”
Harmony grinned from ear to ear. “Isn’t she perfect? I love her so much. And the way Preston is with her, it’s such a turn-on to watch him when he’s holding or changing her, and the way he talks to her when she’s feeding.” Harmony fanned herself. “Is it getting hot in here?”
My cheeks heated, and I couldn’t help but glance over to Preston. I wasn’t sure what their mother ate and drank while pregnant, but she’d put out some drop-dead gorgeous guys, with hearts of gold. And Angela was beyond breathtaking. Besides that, it was clear there wasn’t anything she wouldn’t do for her brothers.
Scanning the area, my eyes landed on Finn’s across the room. He was watching me intently. When he smiled, my heart skittered. Heat pooled in my lower stomach the moment he winked at me.
“Be careful—I see the way you’re looking at Finn. Of course, unless you want to practice for baby making.”
Dragging my eyes off Finn, I turned to Harmony and laughed. “That would be hard to do, since we haven’t slept together yet.”
Her mouth fell and she shook her head quickly. “Wait. Come again?”
I shrugged.
“You guys haven’t slept together yet?” Harmony asked.
“Nope.”
Harmony’s eyes widened in surprise before she quickly searched the room. “Angie! Meeting in the office. Right away!”
Angie came rushing over. “What? What’s wrong?”
The next thing I knew, I was being rushed into the office and told to sit down in the chair. I did, and quickly got lost in the beautiful moment of holding Presley. Harmony and Angie were babbling on about something, but I was too busy admiring the angel in my arms to pay any attention to them.
“What?!” Angie cried out, causing me to jump and Presley to make a few little noises and stretch before she settled back into her slumber.
I glanced up, and my head pulled back in surprise as the two of them stared at me with stunned expressions.
“Am…am I holding her wrong?” I asked.
Angela sat on the desk and flashed me a huge smile. “You haven’t done the deed with Finn yet? How long have y’all been dating?”
I shrugged. “A few weeks.”
Covering her mouth, she spun and looked at Harmony, who was smiling like a fool. “I know! You know what this means, right, Angie?”
“Oh. My. Goodness. Holy. Shit,” Angie said while turning back to me. Both of them stared at me in a creepy kind of way, their smiles so big I wondered if they were planning something I should be worried about.
“What? What does that mean? What are we evening talking about?” I asked.
Harmony walked up and motioned for Angela to slide over, and in a moment they were both sitting on the desk and looking at me with goofy grins. “You’re the one,” Angela purred while covering her heart with her hands and batting her lashes.
Harmony leaned closer to me and said, “Oh, Rory, no woman has ever managed to do what you have.”
My eyes drifted between the two nutcases. “What have I managed to do?”
