“What?”
“You heard me.”
“You came to my apartment to tell me you loved me, but ended up getting my roommate pregnant? How did that happen, Caleb? Did you fall and your dick just happened to slip into her—”
“She was in your bed. I thought she was you.”
My heart began pounding against my chest. “In my bed? What was she doing in my bed?”
“Tell me, Evie.” He folded his arms over his chest. “Did you ever inform Tessa of who my family was?”
“I … I … I don’t remember, but why does it matter if I did?”
“Because she—”
“Evie!” Ariel shouted down the hallway, running into my room with Ethan behind her. “I don’t want to do piano today. Can we go to the island instead?” She halted her steps when she realized her father was on my bed. “Daddy, what are you doing in here?” She giggled in the cutest sound.
My head was once again full of questions I couldn’t ask him with his children around.
Because she what?
Resisting the urge to ask, I answered Ariel. “He’s in here so I can help him plan all the fun things we have in store for you two.”
“Fun things?” Ethan questioned, looking at him. “You’re not going to work?”
“Not this time, bud.”
“You mean you’re going to stay here with us?”
I could hear the hesitation in his voice, making me sad for all of them.
“There’s nowhere else I’d rather be.”
To my surprise, Ethan glanced over at me with the same expression that was on his sister’s face. Both of them stared at me like lost puppies, waiting for my reaction.
Or maybe it was my approval?
I smiled, nodding in reassurance.
“Baby girl.” Caleb smiled at her. “I think going to the island is the best idea.”
“Really, Daddy?” She beamed.
“Of course, and you have me all to yourself.”
“Ethan! Did you hear what Daddy said?”
“You swear, Dad?”
“I promise.” He nodded. “This trip is the first of many to come.”
Shifting his gaze to meet my eyes, he added, “As a family.”
Rendering me speechless.
—Caleb—
I was going to tell her everything.
