Ryle laughs. “She’s kicked my ass a time or two growing up. I
wouldn’t be surprised.”
“No cussing around Rylee,” Marshall says.
“Ass,” Ryle whispers to her.
We both laugh and then he asks me if I want to hold her. I make
like I have grabby hands because waiting for my turn has been killing
me. I pull her into my arms and am shocked by how much love I have
for her already.
“When are Mom and Dad coming in?” Ryle asks Allysa.
“They’ll be here by lunch tomorrow.”
“I should probably get some sleep then. Just got off a long shift.”
He looks back at me. “You coming with?”
I shake my head. “I want to hang out for a little while longer. Just
take my car and I’ll catch a cab home.”
He kisses me on the side of my head and then rests his head
against mine as we both look down at Rylee. “I think we should make
one of these,” he says.
I glance up at him, not sure if I heard him correctly.
He winks. “If I’m asleep when you get home later, wake me up.
We’ll start on it tonight.” He tells Marshall and Allysa goodbye and
Marshall walks him out.
I glance over at Allysa and she’s smiling. “I told you he’d want
babies with you.”
I grin and walk back over to her bed. She scoots over and makes
room for me. I hand Rylee back to her and we snuggle together on
her bed and watch Rylee sleep, like it’s the most magnificent thing
we’ve ever seen.
