“Oh.”
Ven saw Syar moving around and stuck his head into the camera view. “Hello, Liella.”
The little girl exhaled. “You are pretty.”
“Thank you. My name is King Syar.”
She got excited. “Do you have a crown?”
“I do. It is made with woven reeds and flowers, but I do have one.”
Ven was surprised, but Liella asked Syar how long he had been king and if he had a horse. They talked for a while, and then Penny grabbed her phone. “So, you know we are all good now?”
“When are you coming home, Mom?”
“We should be home tomorrow, Liella.”
The little girl chattered to her mother about school, and Penny wandered down the beach to take a seat on a lounger. The love on her face as she talked to her daughter showed.
Syar smiled. “She and her daughter have a tight bond.”
“Yeah. They first met when Liella went to her first day at kindergarten. Miss Penny is the school secretary, and all the kids know her on sight.”
“Kindergarten... but Penny and she look identical.” Syar was surprised.
“Yeah. Weird, huh? Jax and her mother were in an arranged situation, but when she got pregnant, she put everything on hold, including the wedding. She signed off her rights and gave Jax his baby and walked away.” Ven spoke softly.
Syar winced. “I can’t imagine parents walking away.”
Ven sighed. “I dreamed about it.”
Reynaldo hugged her close.
She relaxed and decided that maybe a nap was in order.
Two days of being coddled and cuddled and petted had driven her to the edge. She was waiting while the ultrasound tech scuttled outside to get the doctor.
Syar stood up. “Why was she freaked out?”
Ven looked at him. “You are seriously asking me? Did either of you leave some graffiti the last time you were in there?”
Reynaldo was concerned but shook his head. “I didn’t leave anything you weren’t expecting.”
“It was days ago. Are you sure you remember?” she muttered. Their caring and fussing were nice, but it didn’t blank her mind as sex did.
He gave her a surprised look.
Syar blinked. “Uh, so I am guessing that we are derelict in our duties.”
She nodded. “The cuddling is nice, but now I feel like a bruised piece of fruit. A frustrated piece of fruit.”
Reynaldo smirked. “We will work on that when we get home.”
Syar nodded. “Right. I will push back some of my meetings.”
“Dude, I don’t want you telling anyone you were delayed because your beta needed to get laid.”
He grinned and kissed her. “Oh, but Iwantto tell them.”
