Sixteen

I woke before Braden, which wasn’t unusual. He was a heavy sleeper. I could’ve poked him until he opened his eyes — he wouldn’t have minded — but instead I got up. I was restless.

Instead of hanging around the room and risking disturbing him, I headed out. Grimlock Manor was so massive it had various wings. Braden was in a wing with Redmond, which seemed unnecessary because they were the only two still living in the house with their father, but they were tight and I got the feeling they were creatures of habit. They liked being around one another.

I headed for Aisling’s wing of the house. Technically it belonged to her and Aidan, and they both had their own places. Aisling and Griffin essentially spent half their nights under Cormack’s roof these days — with his full blessing — because of the baby. Aisling was worried she thought like a man and that would make her a poor mother. That was on top of the fear that rooted in her heart when an abomination with her mother’s face came back and tried to kill her.

In truth, Aisling was nothing like that woman. Everyone saw it but her. She claimed she was over it, but occasionally a furtive fear took hold and she couldn’t shake it. I had no doubt she would settle eventually. Until then, she wanted her father and brothers close ... and they were more than happy to oblige.

I heard a voice in the hallway, causing me to slow my pace. It was early and the Grimlocks liked to sleep in until at least seven o’clock. I couldn’t help but wonder what would have them up so early. Then I realized the voice was coming from the nursery.

I stopped in the door and poked my head in, grinning when I saw Griffin with the baby. He had her on the changing table, was clearly unaware that I was present, and was having a conversation with her.

“You couldn’t have waited thirty minutes before you started shrieking, huh?” He didn’t sound upset. “You get that from your mother. Thirty more minutes and everybody would’ve been happy. You’re too demanding to let that happen, though.”

The baby gurgled as he coated her with more powder than was probably necessary.

“I just know you’re going to turn all my hair gray before you’re five,” he continued, oblivious to the fact that he had an audience. “I bet your grandfather had a full head of dark hair before your mother came along. That’s what he says anyway.”

I left them to their father-and-daughter bonding and continued down the hall until I heard additional voices. These came from Aisling’s room, which gave me pause. If Griffin was in with the baby, who was she talking to?

“I don’t see why he’s being such a pain. There’s nothing wrong with peach-colored tuxes.” Jerry had one of those voices that is not only distinctive but carries. He’d clearly taken advantage of Griffin’s absence from the bedroom to bend Aisling’s ear about his upcoming wedding.
