Kelly picked up her bag and walked behind Ven. Syar came out the door and said, “She’s hungry.”
Ven nodded. “I know. Can you finish showing Kelly to her room? She’s the social worker, so she needs to be within view of the guesthouse.”
“Got it. Take care of the little miss. She’s bossy today.”
“It’s called assertive, Syar. You are bossy. She’s assertive.” She took the wailing baby to the nursery and got into her favourite chair, rocking as she fed their daughter.
Reynaldo leaned in the doorway and said, “Everyone is settling in and hitting the beach. How long will you be?”
“At least half an hour. The little miss likes to take her time.”
“Want company?”
“Sure.”
He walked over to her and kissed her slowly. He stopped and whispered how his beast would have her all to himself the next time so that it would be his cub in her arms. She made beautiful kittens.
“They are called babies.”
He chuckled. “Whatever you call them, your offspring are gorgeous.”
She smiled and murmured, “You guys do your part. Syar’s right. We would make pretty babies, and now I have proof. Penina is gorgeous.”
“So, how long until we can try again?”
She laughed. “At least a year. Now that she’s out, her growth is normal, so I am not even going to try to wean her until next year. Deal with it. If the next pregnancy is short, we will be covered in babies and diapers, and I will run out of milk.”
He kissed her again. “How many more do you want?”
“I have no idea. How many rooms are there in the residence?”
He chuckled.
There was a scream down the hall, and Reynaldo whirled to put himself between her and the intruders.
“It’s Missus and her babies. They arrive this time of day and sleep on the bed while Penina has her lunch.”
He stood aside as the jaguar came in with the two smaller versions of herself, and she tapped her nose to Ven’s hand before they hopped onto the bed. The room took on a very maternal air as everyone got calm and drowsy while Reynaldo purred beside her.
He held the baby to her while she relaxed and muttered, “Cheater.”
He smiled. “I am your bodyguard this afternoon. It is easier to track you when you are sleepy.”
“Where’s Nova?”
“When the kids hit the water, so did she. She’s acting as a lifeguard.”
“Nice. When is Mort coming back?”
“His company contract is up in three months. He will be transferring here to run a helicopter service between islands.” He grinned. “He said that when he saw a mermaid swimming with the monsters, he nearly tipped the helicopter into the sea to follow her.”
“Penny would have been pissed.”
“And Jax would have torn him into bits.”
She smiled and stroked the baby’s cheek to keep her eating. “Yup. She’s lucky in her partners.”
Reynaldo crouched near her. “And you aren’t?”
