“You’re pregnant?” Donovan asked, looking into the smiling face of his cousin Vanessa. She had come into his office first thing Monday morning and dropped the bombshell, and he wanted to make sure he’d heard her correctly.

“Yes,” she responded, bubbling all over with joy. “Cameron and I found out this morning. I’m sure Cameron has told Morgan already, and I talked to Mom, Taylor and Cheyenne on my way to work. But since Chance and Bas haven’t arrived yet, you’re the first here to know.”

Feeling happy for his cousin, Donovan stood up and came from behind his desk to give her a huge hug. “I can imagine how happy Cam is,” he said.

Vanessa smiled while at the same time wiped tears from her eyes. “He’s extremely happy. I think we decided how much we both wanted a child the night we took on the role as babysitters for Little Dane,” she said of her best friend Sienna’s son. “He was such a joy, and we knew then we wanted a child of our very own.”

“Let’s just order up one baby this go-round, please,” he said grinning. “I don’t think the family will be able to handle it if you follow in Cheyenne’s footsteps and have multiple babies.” Vanessa’s sister Cheyenne had given birth to triplets last year.

Vanessa chuckled. “Yes, but you have to admit Chey is doing a grand job with them along with Quade’s help. I’m glad he convinced her to make North Carolina their home and use the house she owns in Jamaica as a vacation home.”

Donovan nodded, thinking his brothers had all gotten married and now all of his girl cousins—at least the ones living here in Charlotte—were having babies. Taylor and Dominic’s son had been born the first of the year.

“So when are you going to settle down, marry and start a family, Donovan?”

His answer was quick. “Never. I happen to like being single.”

“I thought I did, too until I fell in love. So beware, your time is coming,” she warned.

He frowned. “Don’t hold your breath, sweetheart. Just glow in your own happiness and leave mine alone.”

Vanessa studied his features. “But just think how much happier you could be curling up with the same person each night, someone who you loved.”

“Love? I’ll pass. There’s not enough love in the world to make me fall in love with any woman.”

He went back around his desk and sat down, thinking that he was beginning to feel smothered by all these Steeles who were either getting married or having babies.
