She paused at the refrigerator. Kaz. You don’t. I’m fine.

He put his hands on you, baby. No excuse for that.

Jesska sighed. Okay, baby. Just don’t kill him.

No promises. Where’s Gunnar?

Somewhere on the phone, I think. He’s been there most of the time you’ve been gone.

He’s sorting a few things out.

Jesska smiled. Well, hopefully, he’ll join us for dinner.

He will. I have to go. I love you.

Love you, too.

“Everything okay?” Grace asked.

Jesska rolled her eyes. “Yes. My hubby just seems to think that defending my honor is of the utmost importance.”

Grace giggled. “Oh, yeah. They do. But that man did put his hands on you, so I don’t blame Kaspar.”

“I see you’ve drunk the Kool-Aid too, huh?”

Grace nodded. “Definitely.”

Samantha and Pepper breezed into the kitchen, as did the group that had been waiting in the living room. “Well?” Grace prompted.

“Baby boy!” Pepper said, and clapped her hands.

“Aw, so sweet,” Charlotte said, running her hands over her belly. “Perhaps I should start a marriage contract now.”

“It’s what royalty used to do, right?” Samantha said with a giggle.

“I get dibs on your first daughter, Grace,” Pepper said.

“You got it,” Grace said.

Charlotte grinned. “Well, the beauty of all of this is that we don’t really have a say, huh? They will be with whoever is perfect for them.”

“That’s the most incredible part,” Megan said. “With how much Ari and I lost, I’m amazed how quickly we have gotten back on track.”

“What about me, Mom?” Sophia asked. “Will I have a forever mate?”

Jesska gasped. “Ooh, I wonder.”

“I say yes,” Charlotte said. “You’re half Kalt Einn, sissy. I think it’s likely.”

Sophia blushed. “I love it when you call me sissy.”

“Really? Vandi hates it! Which only makes me want to do it more.” Charlotte giggled. “Gimme a hug, sissy.”

Sophia laughed and wrapped her arms around Charlotte’s waist.

“Let’s eat,” Grace said.

“I’ll take something up to Brodie and Payton,” Pepper said. “Sam, can you please check on Callum?”
