The meeting comes to an end. I knew she had a suspect, I just didn't know it was the man who had caused her to leave MI6. As for the confrontation with Nikki and Carter, I expected it, but the more I hear what Kayla says, the more I wonder what really happened. None of us had a clue Piper was in an accident. We thought she took off because of the fight with Luca. Callie taking off wasn't odd either because it was a regular love triangle from what we all saw.

We make our way to the main manor house where Maya wanted to have a family dinner. When we walk into the house, Blake comes running, and I swear he grew another foot in the three weeks we were gone. I know he didn't, but I missed so much. Being away from him isn't what I like to do.

"Dada. Dada," he yells as he throws himself at me.

"Hey, little dude. How's daddy's little man?" I ask him as I squeeze him.

"Mum home," he says as he leans toward Kayla, wanting her to pick him up. She reaches for him and holds him on her right side. She's going to be hurting later from carrying him. I can already tell that the flying, the meeting, and the fact I kept her up most of the night is wearing on her. I watch as she snuggles Blake, taking a big breath as if she's memorizing his scent or taking it in. He struggles to get away, always wanting to run after a moment. She leans down and sets him on his feet. He's off like a light and across the room to play with the other kids.

"Kayla, you need to be careful a little bit longer and not be lifting him. I don't want you to hurt yourself."

I watch as my words sink in, her back straightening and she's staring me down. I reach for her, but she steps back and avoids my touch.

"I know how to take care of myself. If you don't want me to touch your son, just say so," she growls.

Oh no! I look around where we are standing and see the bathroom. I gently grip her arm and pull her along with me. We are through the door and I'm kicking it closed. I swing her around and press her into the door, my body caging her in.

"Listen up because I'm not going to stutter. I will help take care of you because that is my job. I love you. Besides, I want to be able to make love to this curvy body later, and if you're hurting, that won't be happening. As for my son, there has never been a woman I trust more than you to care for him. I know you'd never hurt him. Okay?"

She's panting as she looks up at me, and I lean down, my lips hovering above hers. "Say it, baby." I demand.

"Okay. I'm just getting tired, and that was stressful.
