“Da!” the baby shouted gleefully, holding up his arms.

Ignoring Megan and his grandmother, Connor scooped his son into his arms and held him tightly, a tear leaking from the corner of his eye, surprising his mother and grandmother. “Hey, kiddo, I didn’t know you were coming for a visit,” he said in what had to be the most massive understatement ever uttered in that house.

Megan studied her son’s expression and saw all of the love she would have hoped for shining in his eyes as he held his boy.

His expression shut down, however, as he turned to her. “Mind telling me what happened here yesterday?” he asked, as if this were, in some way, all her fault.

“Watch your tone,” Nell cautioned.

“Sorry,” Connor said automatically. “I just need to understand what’s going on.”

“So do we,” Megan replied mildly. “It seems no one in the family knew you had a son. Kevin suspected, but the rest of us didn’t have a clue.”

“It’s complicated,” Connor said, not denying that the boy was his.

“I’m pretty smart. So’s your grandmother. Try us,” Megan said, regarding him with an unyielding expression.

Just then Mick walked into the kitchen. “Took you long enough to get here,” he declared. “You have a lot of explaining to do, young man.”

Connor opened his mouth to reply, glanced at Mick, then shook his head. “Not now. I need to get him home to his mother.”

“Has his mother come home then?” Mick asked.

Connor hesitated, then admitted, “I have no idea. I haven’t been back there in a couple of days.”

“Maybe you ought to know for sure before you take that boy anywhere,” Mick said. “His mother seemed to want him to stay here. Ask your mother. Heather, if that’s who she is, said she wanted him here.”

Connor frowned. “You saw her?” He didn’t sound entirely pleased about that.

“I did,” Megan said. “She didn’t walk off and leave him on the doorstep with a note. And what she actually said was that he needed his father.”

Connor looked relieved. “Thank heaven she didn’t run off with him,” he mumbled, then gave them a pleading look. “Can we please get into this later? I need to find Heather and try to sort things out. I don’t know what she was thinking. The last time I saw her, she was sitting in my living room. I thought things were fine. I didn’t have a clue she was thinking about taking off.”

“When was that?” Megan asked.
