Chapter Eight

It’s only a baby. It’s only a baby.

Alec stared over into Alexa’s stroller. Wide, blue eyes blinked back at him, and she cooed. A tiny dimple appeared on her right cheek, and he froze. Goddamn, she really did look like him. From the dark tufts of hair on her head to the ridiculously long lashes and those bright blue eyes. He remembered the only baby photo he’d seen of himself. He’d looked just like her. But then again, didn’t all babies look alike in the end?

Fat cheeks, gummy, gassy smiles. Big heads?

He tried to focus on the monitor in front of him. All reports for the building came to him. He hadn’t gone over yesterday’s, but he needed to focus on them today. There was too much work to do, and he knew Jaya was right. He really had to delegate better. But to whom?

Once he’d stepped into this role, he’d gone all-in, given up the Rolling Stone lifestyle. To be with Jaya, he needed to do the regular job thing. As long as he still got to spread his wings from time to time, he could deal. He hadn’t regretted it, ever. What he regretted was not getting to spend as much time as he wanted with his new wife. Instead of enjoying a prolonged honeymoon phase, he’d turned into the classic working-too-hard guy with barely any time for his family. And to be fair, Jaya was working just as hard. Maybe what they needed was a date night. Something he didn’t have his assistant book. But something that would be fun and take them outside. He could do that.

Alexa cooed again.

He eyed her. “Oh, so you think a date night is a good idea, do you?”

She giggled and waved a tiny, dimpled fist in the air. Yeah, okay. All things being equal, she was pretty damn cute. “Since you have such an opinion, what do you think we should do?”

Alexa kicked her feet in the air and clapped her hands together.

Alec frowned. “Um, you’re gonna have to give me a better hint, kid. I don’t really speak baby.”

A loud stream of gibberish filled the silence of his office, and Alexa kicked her feet again, more insistently.

Damn. “Okay, okay. So maybe a moonlit stroll on the beach followed by dinner?”

She only made a car motor sound with her lips, sending baby drool and spittle down her chin.

“Um, I take it that that’s a no.” He thought another guess. “Maybe taking her race car driving?”

Alexa squealed and said, “Bah.”

Was he actually crazy enough to ask a baby for advice? It certainly looked that way. “You know, kid, I’m not entirely sure you’re that helpful. I mean, you don’t know her. She might enjoy opening up a Bugatti on the open road.”

More spittle.

He rolled his eyes. “Okay, fine, how about a romantic picnic followed by a sunset hot air balloon ride?”

Alexa clapped her hands, and the happy kicking started again.

“I’ll take that as an approval.” He shook his head. “You’re a tough one.
