Chapter Sixteen

Miles Away

Los Angeles, California

“When were you planning on telling me about this, or were you going to keep it a secret?” the feminine voice accused from behind him.

Turning away from the crib he finished getting together less than ten minutes ago, Dante found his very pregnant wife waving two sheets of tan paper in his direction. He had read that letter from Morgan so many times that he didn’t even have to guess what it was. All he did want to know was, how did Amara find it? He had it locked away inside his desk because he was still on the fence about answering it or trying to build a relationship again with any of his younger brothers.

“How did you find that?” he asked, coming towards her.

Dante tried taking the letter from his wife, but she put it behind her back. “Does it really matter? I want you to answer my question, Dante Braden. Were you hiding Morgan’s letter from me?”

“Yes.”

“Why?” she asked, hurt clear in her soft voice. “I thought we told each other everything. If something had changed you should have let me know. Here, you can take these back. I guess I was wrong about us sharing everything.”

Amara held out the papers for her husband to take. It crushed Dante to see the pained look on his wife’s beautiful face. She was reading the situation entirely the wrong way. He wasn’t trying to keep anything from her on purpose. He was protecting her from any kind of stress while she was carrying their son. He had to make her understand.

Taking the letter from her, he laid it down on the changing table next to them. “Baby, you don’t understand. I wasn’t trying to hide anything from you because I wanted to keep it a secret. I didn’t want to upset you with you being so close to your delivery date. I would have told you after Brody was born.”

His wife’s eyebrows arched over her beautiful brown eyes. “Oh really,” she said. “Why do I find that so hard to believe? I know how you feel about the Braden Four.”

Dante groaned under his breath at the nickname Amara had given his baby brothers. For some odd reason, she decided it would be cute to give his four grown brothers a group name.

“Will you please stop calling Morgan, Lucas, Rowan and Tanner by that name?”

“Baby, come on, it’s so cute,” Amara said, rubbing her stomach. “Don’t be jealous. You know that I love you. That’s why I’m so hurt you didn’t share Morgan’s letter with me. You’d think that everything was still strained between all of you, but it isn’t.”

“Nothing has changed,” Dante insisted, worried Amara was reading more into the letter than there really was. “I still don’t want them around you or the baby after he is born.”

Shaking her head, Amara continued rubbing her belly. “See, that is where you’re wrong, sweetheart. Six months ago, Morgan wouldn’t have even considered writing you a letter, but now he has.
