HAYDEN

I awoke that next morning to a sound I’d never awoken to ever before in my life.

The cry of a baby.

Two, to be precise.

I rolled over, stretching out in bed as I rubbed my eyes and glanced over at the phone. I’d left it propped up and plugged in, so I had an all-night view of the girls from the nanny cam. Sure enough, the twins were up, both wailing their little hearts out.

I threw my legs over the edge of the bed and put my feet on the cool, wood floor. The sun was coming up over the mountains outside, filling the room with golden, morning light. I grabbed the phone and checked the time – a little after 5:30 a.m.

Perfect timing. I’d set my alarm for 6:00. And since I’d hit the sack early the night before, I felt nice and rested. But I couldn’t let the girls cry for too long. They were going to need a change and a feeding, and their cries gave my actions a sense of urgency.

I slept naked, and since I wasn’t into the idea of traumatizing the twins, I grabbed a pair of athletic shorts from my bag and threw them on, hurrying out of the bedroom and down the hall. As I made my way to the stairs, I tried to remember what Ryan and Carly had told me about what to do when the girls cried – it had all been in the email Carly had sent.

They tend to get a bit fussy before mealtime, so if they’re really acting up, don’t be afraid to give them their meals a little earlier.

It was all coming back to me, and I was pleased as hell my photographic memory had come through yet again. Of course, I’d never had to change a kid’s dirty diaper before. But there was a first time for everything, right?

I hurried downstairs, making my way to the nursery. But when I drew close, I saw that the door was already open. Not only that, but the crying had stopped. The only sound to be heard was singing.

I stopped in place and listened.

“You know I’m a dreamer, but my heart’s of gold. I had to run away high, so I wouldn’t come home low…”

The words were really familiar. It was a song I’d heard before, but one I couldn’t quite place. I stepped closer to the nursery and continued to listen.

“Just when things went right, it doesn’t mean they were always wrong. Just take this song, and you’ll never feel left all alone.”

I peered into the nursery. Grace was there, holding Rose in her arms, the child’s head tucked into her shoulder, smiling peacefully. Lily was in her crib standing up, her hands gripping the rail as she smiled. The whole scene was bathed in the
