CHAPTER 20

’T was long after the midnight hour before they received word on Effie. Alec and Dougall had been sitting near the fire in the gathering room, sipping on fine whisky as they talked of old times as well as the future of their clan.

Leona had settled the four lads into a room across the hall from hers. After numerous stories — far less terrifying than the ghost story of earlier that day — the boys finally succumbed to exhaustion and fell asleep. Afterward, she went to her own room and collapsed into her own bed.

After the long day she had had, with chasing after four rambunctious young boys, she had made up her mind to have only daughters.

Alec woke her with a tender kiss on the forehead. “We have a babe,” he said as he caressed her cheek with the backs of his fingers. “A fine, healthy, and verra big boy.”

Relieved to hear the babe was well, she sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. “I should go to Effie,” she said, her voice husky from sleep.

“Nay,” Alec said as he began stripping out of his clothes. “Effie is doing well. Dougall has gone to be with her now. I told him we would keep the boys and bring them back in the morn.”

That was good news, she supposed as she fell back into the bed and drew the covers up to her ears. In the morn, she would take the boys back to their mother and father, where they would be introduced to their new brother and future partner in crime.
