“I’d give the title of whitest sheep toIsabelle,” Aiden said.

“Or Cassidy,” Vicky shot over her shoulderas she hurried toward the door.

“Actually, you might be the only femaleproblem child,” Aiden remarked.

“And I rock it.” Vicky lifted her hand andformed the rock sign over her head as she pulled the door open.“Welcome to the den of iniquity,” she greeted.

“Do I want to know?” Abby inquired.

“Nah, you white sheep wouldn’t get it.”

“You’re an ass.”

“You know Aiden just said the sameexactthing to me. If you two aren’t careful, I mightdevelop a complex.”

“Then stop being an ass,” Abby retorted.

Maggie’s eyes widened when another blondewoman entered the room. Unlike Aiden and Vicky, where she saw fewsimilarities in their appearance, there was no telling Vicky andAbby apart. Except one had shorter hair than the other. Because shehadn’t been expecting twins, she hadn’t been tracking Vicky onceAbby entered the room, so she couldn’t tell if it was Vicky or Abbywho had shorter hair.

She’d known a few identical twins over theyears, and she’d always been able to find some tiny differencebetween them. Other than their hair, she couldn’t see anydifference between these two. She was about to ask who was who whenthe one with the longer hair walked toward her.

“I’m Abigail,” she said. “Everyone calls meAbby.”

Abby took hold of Maggie’s hand and claspedit in both of hers as Vicky had done. “I’m so happy to meet you.We’ve been hoping for you.”

Maggie blinked at her and then glanced atAiden. For the first time, she started to really grasp what shemeant to him and his family. He’d told her she was important tohim, but now she saw it instead of onlyhearingit.

“It’s bad enough I have to deal with thisshit from Vicky, but I wasn’t expecting it from you too,” Aidensaid.

Abby laughed as she released Maggie’s hand.“You know we sometimes like ganging up to humiliate you all.”

“Hmm.” Aiden released Maggie and lifted Abbyto give her a bear hug.

“It’s payback for all the things you olderones put us through when we were younger,” Vicky said as she leanedagainst the wall. “You know we were never as good at those prankwars as the rest of you.”

“But we are good at irritating andembarrassing when we get the chance,” Abby said.

“You are,” Aiden agreed and set her down.“Where’s Brian?”

“Here,” Brian said.

Vicky glanced over her shoulder as a manstepped into the room. Maggie’s mouth almost fell open when shespotted the stunning man with platinum blond hair and ice blueeyes. Abby released Aiden and walked over to slide her hand intoBrian’s. The iciness of Brian’s eyes melted when he smiled down ather.

Mated.Maggie didn’t know how sheknew it, but she had no doubt Abby and Brian were mates.

Brian tore his attention away from Abby tofocus on Maggie. In his eyes, she saw the same curiosity she’d seenin the others. She suspected she would endure this from all ofAiden’s family when she first met them.

A small shock went through her when sherealized she was thinking long term for them if she was consideringmeeting his family.

Brian released Abby and walked over to shakeher hand before turning to clasp Aiden’s shoulder. “Sorry I had totrack you down,” Brian apologized as he returned to Abby.

“Why did you track me down?” Aideninquired.

“If you’d answered your phone, you’d know,”Abby admonished.

Vicky placed her hand against the corner ofher mouth and hid her finger behind it as she pointed at Abby andmouthed to Maggie,“White sheep.”Maggie stifled alaugh while Abby glared at her sister.

“Know what?” Aiden demanded.
