Page 146 of I Loved You First
Brady opened the last gift—a box of Legos. “These are awesome! I can make a dragon or a fish or a bird.”
“You can work on them after you finish your homework,” Cam told him.
“Thanks for my presents.” He hugged Fiona, then Cam.
“You’re welcome,” Cam said, holding on to him. “If you have any questions or if you ever have happy or sad feelings about being a big brother, you can ask us or tell us.”
Brady nodded. “How did the baby get in Mom’s belly?”
Cam looked from Brady to Fiona. Because he hadn’t expected that. “Uh—”
“From love,” Fiona commented quickly. “When moms and dads love each other very much, they sometimes have a baby.”
Brady nodded, grabbing the picture frame. “I’m bringing my new picture for show-and-tell tomorrow. Everyone can see my baby.”
Cam beamed, loving the idea. “That’s a good choice.”
“Now I can play with my new Legos. You can help me if you want,” he said to Cam.
“I would love to.”
“Let’s build Legos in my room. That way, we won’t wake up the baby.”
“I’ll be up in just a minute.”
“Okay.” Brady hurried upstairs with the box.
Cam puffed out a breath, looking at Fiona. “That went pretty well.”
She nodded. “I wasn’t sure how things were going to go for a couple of minutes there. Danica’s puppy put a little crimp in things.”
He grinned. “Puppies are pretty hard to beat.” He pulled her against him, kissing her. “Nice save on where babies come from, by the way.”
Chuckling, she locked her wrists at the back of his neck. “I figured we should keep it simple and let him ask more questions if he wanted to.”
He nuzzled her jaw with his lips. “I like the way you think.”
“Thank you.” And then she yawned. “I’m going to lie here on the couch for a few minutes and nap.”
“Tired, huh?”
“I could easily go to bed right now.”
He kissed her again. “I’ll take care of dinner tonight.”
She shook her head. “I’ll be fine after a power nap.”
“Let me take care of you,” he whispered. “Because I love you, and I want to.”
She smiled. “Okay.”
He gained his feet. “I’m off to make a dragon. Because we both know that’s what he’ll pick.”
Grinning, she gave his butt a swat. “Have fun.”
He smiled on his way up the stairs, relieved that Fi and the baby were healthy and his little boy was looking forward to being a big brother.
Life was pretty damn great. Brady had an amazing mom. He and Fi had an awesome son and a baby on the way. Ally had signed and returned the papers to Darius. The only thing he needed was to make Fi his wife. He smiled again because he had a couple of ideas about that.
