“Jesus, girl. You look ready to pop.”
“I feel like it too,” Sarah snickered, rubbing her belly. “But I still have three more months. Jess, this is Skylar Rose, Pyro’s new wife, and your new aunt.”
“Why are my aunts always younger than me?” Jess smiled warmly, before hugging me. Kneeling down to Cameron, Jess grinned. “And you must be the young man everyone keeps telling me about.Cameron, right?”
My brother blushed, nodding as he stared at the pretty redhead.
“Cat got your tongue, little man?”
“You’re pretty,” he whispered, touching her red hair. “It’s like fire.”
Jess smiled. “Yes, it is. Do you like the color red?”
“I like it on you.”
Sarah covered her mouth, hiding her smile as I looked on in wonderment. Nothing ever captured Cameron’s attention for long but watching him stare at Jessica and her flaming red hair, my brother looked as if he was in a trance.
“Can I claim you?”
Sarah lost the plot and just laughed loudly as I gasped, unsure I heard him correctly.
“You know something, Cameron. One day, you will meet a beautiful young girl who will be prettier than me, and she will take you on a merry chase. But until then, I would be happy for your claim.”
My brother smiled broadly, hugging Jessica, who winked up at me.
“Not sure how Savage will take another suiter, Jess, but in the meantime, let’s get Sarah in a room.” Dr. Claudia chuckled, walking over.
“Wow!” Cameron gasped, eyeing the beautiful brunette with soft baby blue eyes. “You are hot too!”
“Hey!” Jess huffed, placing her hands on her hips. “I thought you just claimed me?”
“I want her too!” Cameron said, pointing at Dr. Claudia, who bent over laughing, holding her stomach. “My God, he’s Gunner. There are two of them!”
Sarah’s appointment went off without a hitch after Cameron claimed both women and was insistent he could care for both of them. Sarah was doing well, and the babies were slowly getting bigger by the day. Dr. Claudia reiterated the thirty-four-week goal but wasn’t ruling out early labor.
After leaving the Rosewood Clinic, we all headed for Beth’s Coffee Shop. Apparently, Sarah was Claudia’s last appointment of the day,and she joined us. Sarah wanted to tell her mom how the doctor’s visit went, and Cameron was dying for one of Beth’s chocolate chip cookies. Apparently, Beth made them special with extra chocolate chips just for him. The second we entered the shop, Cameron took off towards the back, yelling for Jamison.
We were all sitting at one of the tables in the coffee shop when the bell jingled, and Bailey walked in. Upon seeing us, she walked over and plopped down in a chair, huffing.
“For a woman who is getting married tomorrow, you don’t look happy, Bails. What’s wrong?” Claudia asked.
“I can’t do it.”
“Do what?” Jessica said, sitting up straighter.
“We talked about this, Bailey. All you have to do is say I do. That’s it,” Sarah sighed.
“No,” Bailey grumbled. “It’s not that. I’m talking about the other thing.”
“Oh, come on, woman!” Jessica groaned. “Are you really going to chicken out? I thought you were a badass bitch. Don’t be a pussy now.”
“What’s going on?” I asked, confused.
“Bailey has Trypanophobia.”
“The fear of needles? She’s a tattoo artist. I don’t understand.”
“No one does,” Claudia snickered, shaking her head. “Bailey, I told you I would provide a topical numbing agent. You won’t feel anything.”
