So he lowered to his knees. “Let me try it this way, then.”

FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER, they headed downstairs and slipped into their chairs around the very impressive long dining table outside. The meals were just being delivered so everyone was distracted with the delicious aromas of baked salmon, asparagus and roasted pumpkin, and yams.
“Where are the kumara?” Harper asked.
“What is kumara?” Logan frowned. “Does it live in the ocean?”
Harper and Kristen giggled, and Jacob figured it must be a kiwi thing.
“It’s like sweet potato, but different. Mostly purple.”
“Purple? The fuck?” Hunter screwed up his face.
“It’s nice. I had it in New Zealand when I was there,” Daniel shared. “Very nutritious.”
“Thanks, Gordon Ramsey.” Fletcher rolled his eyes.
“Technically, they are red, purple, and gold,” Harper said, popping a mouthful of salmon into her mouth. “Whiss wiz dewiscious.”
“Thank you,” Olivia said. “Someone else made it.”
Everyone chuckled.
“Mommy, can we go watch a movie?” Sammy asked.
“Two more vegetables and then you can go,” Fletcher said.
Sammy huffed and glanced at Olivia, who nodded. Sienna glanced at her mom, Addy, looking for a different answer, and Jacob giggled to himself.
Had they done that as kids?
“It’s like negotiating with terrorists,” Hunter said, then glanced at Logan and Aidan. “You’ll need to sharpen up your skills before your kids arrive.”
“My skills are sharp enough, thanks.” Aidan smirked. “Got my girl knocked up, didn’t I?”
“Aidan,” Lily gasped.
“You two are the epitome of opposites attract.” Emma giggled.
“She couldn’t resist me.” Aidan leaned over and kissed his wife.
“I could. I took pity on you.” Lily smiled, but everyone could see her warm cheeks and how in love with him she was.
He glanced beside him at Leilani, who was smiling at them in awe. Yeah, he supposed through the eyes of a single woman, it must draw some envy. There were a lot of happy couples around this table.
Single?
Is that how he saw her? As someone another man could sweep off her feet and take from him? Fuck that! What if there was a connection between her and Knox? He was a good-looking motherfucker.
Jacob shoved a mouthful of pumpkin into his mouth with too much force and stabbed himself.
“Ouch. Fuck,” he said, and the little girls giggled at him.
He grinned at them, his teeth coated in the vegetable, and they lost it further.
“Okay kids, go watch a movie.” Olivia laughed. “Daddy will set it up for you.”
