IT WAS SIX in the morning when Nick Logan opened the front door, and his sister, Cathy, greeted him with a cheerful, “Nicky! You wonderful brother you!” She launched her one-year-old daughter at him, then backed out into the hall again. “You weren’t sleeping, were you?”

“Been up for two hours already working on some new plans for the Castillo house.” Nick didn’t know who was more surprised about whose arms his niece had landed in. Jessica or him. From the look on the baby’s face, he had a feeling the shock effect was mutual.

“Aren’t computers wonderful things. You can work at work and you can work at home. You never have to not work, once you’re connected. Incredible.” Cathy came back in the apartment carrying an armload of baby junk. She dropped a car seat on the floor and leaned a portable crib against the wall. “And thank you in advance for helping me out.”

“What am I doing?” He held Jessica out at arm’s length, as her tiny legs started to kick in the air and her feet, encased in heavy leather walking shoes, scraped his chest and arms. “Cathy,” he called out, waiting until she stopped long enough to make eye contact with him. “Let me rephrase the question. What are you doing? Moving in?”

She only laughed then headed out the door again. Jessica’s face scrunched up, her nose started to turn red and her eyes crinkled together. “Caaaathy,” he warned sharply. “She’s going to start that crying again.”

“No she won’t,” his sister said when she unloaded more baby things. “Jessie loves you.”

“Yeah. As much as she likes getting a shot.”

“Don’t sell yourself short, big brother. Both you and immunizations are good for her. You’re the most perfect brother a girl can have. I mean that, too.” Her voice caught.

“Don’t get all sentimental on me. You know, to all intents and purposes, I’m the only brother you have.” But he wasn’t perfect. Not by a long shot. All anyone had to do was ask his three older, perfect brothers, and his perfect parents, and they’d list in chronological order exactly how unperfect Nick was.

As far as Nick was concerned, the only thing his perfect family did to perfection was to be unforgiving. When Cathy had told them she was pregnant, they had thrown her out of their house, and their family. Banned from Logan-dom forever.

Nick had always been the rebel son. He alone had stood by her side, helped her through her pregnancy and had been there for both her and his niece afterward. Nick was the only close relative Cathy had besides Jessica. The squirming kid who right at this moment was getting ready to let out one of her famous, “I hate you, Uncle Nick” screams. He made a face at her and, just as she opened her mouth to let loose, he put her down on the marble floor. She wobbled on tiny feet for a second, then got down on all fours and crawled away as fast as she could.
