The whole point of going to Farcliff Castle was that it was supposed to be safer from the paparazzi, but I knew that we’d be more exposed. There are hundreds of staff at the castle, and there’s evidently a leak somewhere.

The good news is, now that Hunter is in custody, we don’t have to worry about him. The captain of castle security assured us that he’d be locked up for good. It’s one less threat we need to worry about.

Still, it feels good to be going home. As I slide my hand into Margot’s, I realize that it feels good to be taking her back, too.

I want to show her where I come from. I want to take her to white, sandy beaches and kiss her under the palm trees.

I want to take her out of that toxic, gossip-fueled world that she’s used to, and show her the serenity of privacy.

I want to treat her like a princess.

As she leans her head against my shoulder, she lets out a soft sigh. Luca has one arm around Ivy, with the other resting on her belly.

Both sisters’ baby bumps are growing.

For the first time, I really think about what that means. Bottles, diapers, vomit, chubby little feet and hands. Crying, giggling, and the wonder in a baby’s eyes.

Sleepless nights.

Fatherhood.

I never thought that I’d be a father. I gave up on the idea of sharing my life with anyone a long time ago. For the most part, as soon as women realized that I wasn’t going to catapult them into fame and society, they avoided me.

Or maybe I avoided them.

I resigned myself to the fact that I’d spend my days alone. I told myself that I’d be the fun uncle, and I’d take care of my brothers’ kids.

Now, there’s no doubt in my mind that being a father is what I want—and I want it with Margot. Even if the kid isn’t technically mine, it already feels like it is. I care about the child as much as I care about Margot. As the jet takes off, the realization that I love Margot hits me like a bullet to the chest.

I love her.

I love her.

I love her.

Margot shifts, lifting her head up to look at me. “You okay?”

I nod. “I’m great.”

We recline our seats, and Margot snuggles into me. The hostess on the plane brings me a fresh ice pack for my face. The doctor cleared me to fly, but warned me that I’d have a nasty bruise. I settle back into my seat and hold Margot close.

Luca glances at me, and a grin spreads over his face. He gives me a slight nod, and then turns his attention back to Ivy.

We found the LeBlanc sisters at the most unlikely of times, but they complete us in ways we never imagined. It feels good to have Margot—and it feels good to have Luca back, too. For the first time in a long time, I feel like my family is coming back together.
