Chapter Twelve

Quinn

Nothing made sense anymore.

While finding Bailey had turned my world upside down, I’d viewed my life as relatively normal. Well, as normal as someone with my heritage could get. I loved my family, but I’d grown up with a rather skewed perspective on life.

Having a rather untraditional number of grandparents ensured that, although I was grateful I had the traditional number of parents. I’d seen my mother’s birth certificate. It redefined complicated.

Leaving the hotel with two children wrapped around my legs and a wolf puppy who wanted to prove she loved me, too, once again turned my world upside down. I’d seen fathers with their families, but I hadn’t truly understood their expressions until trying to check out while juggling Beauty and Sylvester and a wolf puppy, all in need of tender loving care from me.

Perkins rescued me from Sunny, taking her leash. “You’ve already mastered the harried look of a man whose wife is not around to help with the kids. Well done!”

“The day you and Tiffany have a child, I will be present, and I will be smiling,” I promised.

“Tiffany’s barren.”

Well, shit. My brows rose at that. “That’s not what I expected to hear today.”

“I think it’s part of why she became a mad scientist. She couldn’t become a mother, so she went for the next best thing.”

I stared at him, and when he didn’t read my mind and figure out he was talking to someone with a higher than normal percentage of demonic genes, I asked, “You realize I’m part incubus, right?”

Perkins blinked. “Well, yes.”

“My grandfather? Also an incubus.”

“And?”

“Merry Christmas.” I chuckled at that, shaking my head over how simple it was for me—or my grandfather—to solve a problem I hadn’t known existed. “If you want kids, I can take care of the problem.”

“It’s not that simple, Sam,” he hissed. “She doesn’t have eggs. Her ovaries are a complete bust.”

“Still not a problem,” I promised. “Sure, it’s a little harder to do the work, and I might have to ask my grandfather for help, but it’s not a problem. He’s been teaching me so we won’t have kids unless Bailey’s ready for them. It’s the same principle but reversed. While demons come bundled with all sorts of problems, they aren’t without redeeming qualities. She could have a complete hysterectomy and my grandfather could reverse it.”

Perkins sucked in a breath, and he stared at me with wide eyes while I handled turning in our room keys and paying the parking fee. Once I had the hotel room sorted, I untangled the children from my legs, gave them one of the wheeled suitcases so they could help while not being too burdened, and gathered the rest of our bags.

“I’m not joking, Arthur. I wouldn’t do that to you. I just had no idea she’s barren. I don’t snoop all the time like most incubi. If you’re not comfortable with an incubus, I can inquire for a succubus. Either can do what needs done. If she’s not producing hormones properly, she’ll need a few sessions with one possibly.
