“What’s wrong, Isaac?”
“Her mate is in there with her.They are arguing.”
“He’s not trying to hurt her, is he?”
“No, he cannot hurt her.She is always ready for him, but I do not like the anger.It upsets the baby.”
“Then we should—” Before I could finish that sentence, the door yanked open, and Hugh burst out and into my face.
“You just can’t wait for me to be gone, can you?”
I could deny it or pretend that I didn’t know what he said, but I didn’t.“Nope.”
“You son of a bitch!”
“Hey.”I leaned forward until our noses were practically touching.He was taller, but his height did not concern me.I had been fighting with guys much bigger than me for much longer than he had been alive.“It’s not my fault that you fucked up not one relationship, but two.”
He went to grab my shirt, but Isaac shoved us apart and stepped in between us.“Enough.You will not do this out here.You guys want to fight it out, then go someplace where you will not upset the baby.”
“The baby is fine!”Hugh growled at him, and Isaac turned to him, getting into his face.Now that was a height difference, and Hugh didn’t look as confident staring up at Issac as I had.
“Can you feel the emotions of your baby?Do you even listen to your child’s heartbeat getting fast or slowing down in comfort?No, you do not, but I do.I know when your child is anxious or sad and when she is happy.”Isaac paused.“I will tell you one thing.Your daughter is not happy when you are around because you say hurtful things to her mother.You do hurtful things to her, and your baby does not like that.If I were you, I would watch myself.”
Hugh swallowed and was going to open his mouth to speak but didn’t.Instead, he shoved past Isaac and began to walk away after glaring at me one more time.“You have no fucking clue what my child thinks,” he spat over his shoulder.
The two of us watched him leave, and then I spoke softly to Isaac.“Can you really feel those things?”
“Yes, I can.”He winced.“I probably should not have said that to him.The mistress will be upset.”
“No, you absolutely should have said that.Hugh needs to know that he can’t walk all over Kristin.She has put up with a lot.I’m glad that she has you to watch over both her and the baby.”
“Thank you, Zander.”
“You’re welcome, Isaac.I’m going to check on Kristin.”
I reached for the door handle, and Isaac spoke softly from behind me.“The baby, she likes you.”
I looked back at him.“She does?”
“You make her mother calm.She likes when her mother is calm.”
“Thanks for letting me know that, Isaac.”
“You’re welcome, sir.”
I was about to open the door but thought better and knocked.A moment later, Kristin opened the door.She had a smile on her face that didn’t quite reach her eyes, but I already knew why.
“Hello, Mistress.”I flashed her a smile that I knew she loved, and she seemed to relax slightly.
“Hello, Zander.”
“Are you ready to go?”
She chuckled.“Yes, where are you possibly taking me?”
“Oh, you shall see.”I held my arm out to her, and she hooked her hand around it and stepped out, closing the door behind her.
“I look forward to it.”She winked at Isaac as he stood off to the side.As we walked down the hallway, Isaac fell into line behind us at a discreet distance.
