But right before they would have stepped out onto the balcony, she stopped and smiled at Dom. “Here.”
“You’re letting me hold him?”
“He’s yours as well as mine.” She sighed. “Besides, the bigger I look today the easier it will be for people to notice I’m losing weight.”
He laughed and stepped out onto the balcony, but he stopped, too.
He caught his dad’s gaze. “You and Rose come with us.”
His dad waved a hand. “No. No. You and Ginny and Jimmy are the stars here. Have your moment in the sun.”
“I’d rather we looked like a family.”
Rose said, “Mmm-hmm.”
Ginny pressed a finger to her lips to keep her still-humming hormones from making her cry. They hadn’t had a big discussion about the king keeping Ginny’s labor from Dom. When they’d returned the day before, Dom had simply said, “You were right,” and King Ronaldo had nodded. Dom wanting them to be a family spoke volumes.
The king said, “I think that would be nice.”
They stepped out onto the balcony to present their son to the kingdom and in the last second, Alex came racing through the door. “I heard this is a family moment.”
Dom said, “It is.”
Alex straightened to his full height, grinning like an idiot.
Ginny leaned over to Dom and whispered, “What’s up with him?”
“Our father and Princess Eva’s father are having a phone call tomorrow to talk about the wedding. He’s trying to get on Dad’s good side, hoping he’ll give him another year of freedom.”
Ginny winced. “Do you think your dad will do it?”
Dom glanced at his father, who beamed at little Jimmy and laughed. “Nope. I think my dad likes being a grandfather.” He cuddled Jimmy to him, then waved to the crowd below.
Ginny nestled against him. “We’ll give him another one soon.”
Dom glanced down at her. “Really?”
Ginny laughed and snuggled more tightly against him. “Sure, we’ll have two kids, and then I’ll get my figure back, and then it’s Alex and Eva’s turn.”
Cameras whirred and flashed, but Ginny didn’t care. For twenty-five years she’d longed for a family and she’d finally gotten one.
