Maddox hands me a beer, then grabs one for himself, and the two of us tap bottles before we take our first sip.

“You mentioned the lodge would be fully stocked for all the Littles?” I ask my brother.

Nodding, he watches his wife like a hawk while she makes a mess of frosting all over the counter. “Yeah. There are several rooms with cribs and changing tables in them. Everything is already there.”

I study my beautiful wife as she giggles at something Brynn said, and I can’t help but wonder if I’ve been letting her down. I should have noticed her signals sooner. Seen the way she watches Brynn, Ellie, Nora, and Lucy play and act. How long has Emma been curious about diapers? It was a subject we talked about when we first got together, and I told her I was open to it and if she ever wanted that to tell me, but I’d imagine that might be a hard thing to tell someone. Even your own spouse.

“I want to take one of the rooms with a crib and changing table,” I tell Maddox.

My brother turns his head to stare at me and then slowly nods. “Yeah?”

It’s the perfect time to try it. A solid week together with no work or regular day-to-day responsibilities to distract us. This is going to be a big change for us and our dynamic, and I want Emma to have time to adjust to it before we come home.

“Yeah. I’m going to order some stuff, too,” I add.

Maddox grins and lovingly slaps my shoulder. “Good for you. This is going to be a great vacation.”

Indeed, it is.

Just a little Christmas vacation.
