THIRTEEN

The following morning, Jasminka found herself uncharacteristically anxious as she made her way into the kitchen for breakfast. She had quickly discovered that the large combined kitchen and dining room was the heart of the household, and more times than not, was where the majority of its occupants could be found. Now that she had Ivy and Lark on board, her four-step plan could begin. She only hoped it worked. As much as she already liked the Beyden she knew, she couldn’t help but want to free the gentle, kind man everyone spoke so well of. Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the already full kitchen.

Beyden was there, looking tired and cranky and under duress. Jazz had no doubt that one of his friends had dragged him downstairs in an effort to force social interaction. It didn’t appear to be working because he was sitting as far away from everyone as possible.

“Bey, do you want to hold Maxwell?” Cali asked, smiling.

Beyden’s uniquely beautiful eyes softened when they looked at the babe in Cali’s arms but he shook his head. “I’d hate to drop him.”

“You won’t drop him,” Dex spoke up. “Besides, I drop him all the time. You’ll be surprised just how non-breakable newborns are.”

Cali glared at her fiancé, his attempt at humour not going over well with the new mother. Dex cringed, “Kidding, my love. I was only kidding.”

Ivy chose that moment to speak; “Dex is right. I used to drop Beyden on his head all the time when he was a baby. And he turned out okay. Well, other than his foul mood now in adulthood and complete lack of coping mechanisms.”

“Excuse me?” Beyden sounded affronted and maybe even a little hurt.

The rest of the room seemed confused by Ivy’s harassment, frowning in Ivy’s direction and clearly not knowing the underlying motivation for it. Max gave Jazz a small wink and a grin though. Jazz shouldn’t be surprised that Max had figured it out. Or perhaps she was simply reading their emotions or minds.

Ivy snorted rudely, “You heard me. What’s the matter baby bro – knighthood not all it’s cracked up to be?”

“Are you trying to piss me off?” Beyden demanded, face twisted in annoyance.

“Now why would I want to do that?” Ivy asked innocently.

“I have no idea. But you’re succeeding,” Beyden growled.

The glint in Ivy's eye as she looked at her brother was pure evil – and pure genius – Jazz thought, as Ivy opened her mouth and blurted; "Beyden used to think he was ambidextrous because he could wank with either hand."

Wow, as far as jibes between siblings went, that was a doozy, Jazz thought. Evidently, embarrassment was a big trigger of Beyden’s anger because he was on his feet in an instant, butter knife flying through the air to land with unerring accuracy in the gap between two of Ivy’s fingers. He strode forward determinedly only to stop halfway across the room. Looking down he gasped and began to teeter.

“Don’t do that,” Ivy snapped. “Don’t look down, don’t think about it.
