“What the hell?” Cash grumbles.
Brooklyn holds up her hands. “I didn’t do anything.”
The door opens and an incredibly handsome man in uniform walks in. I’m positive I’ve met him before but I can’t place him.
“Ryker, you son of a bitch. I was about to start panicking wondering why a cop was here to see us.” They exchange a brief hug. “What are you doing here?”
He grins and if I wasn’t ridiculously in love with my husband, I’m pretty sure I’d swoon.
“Had to meet the new member of the family.”
“Did you use your badge to get in here?”
He shrugs a broad shoulder. “It has its perks. Hadley, we only met briefly at your reception before I got called in to work. So here’s my official introduction. I’m Ryker. Cash and I went to school together.”
“Nice to meet you. Officially.”
“How are you feeling?”
“Tired.”
“I’m sure.” He nods, walking closer to me to get a peek at Elias.
“Name?” he asks Cash over his shoulder.
“Elias. Nine pounds, six ounces and twenty-one inches long.”
Ryker’s eyebrows raise. “Big boy.”
“I’ll have you know; she was dilated to a nine when we got to the hospital.”
“Good thing you got here in time,” he replies with a smirk, not bothered at all by Cash’s comment. “He’s a good-looking boy, you two. Congrats.”
“Thanks, man.”
“Freaking out yet?” Ryker wonders with a grin.
“Little bit,” Cash admits. “When I got this one, she was already through this stage,” he explains, pointing at Brooklyn.
“Brooklyn, right?”
She nods. “Yup.”
“I have a girl a few years younger than you. Her name’s Luna.”
Brooklyn’s eyes widen. “Luna?”
“Yeah. You know her?”
“No, but my cousin has mentioned her before.”
“Cody?” I question.
“Well, it’s certainly not Lydia. She’s not talking yet.”
Ryker gives Cash a look then I watch as his eyes meet Corbin, who’s been suspiciously quiet in the corner of the room.
“Corbin, why are you hiding back there?”
