Chapter 14

Shaylyn

Mike: How’s the little man?

I smile as Knox and Willow pose for pictures. She’s beautiful in her white dress and bright red flowers.

I don’t know how she was able to find such a beautiful dress on such short notice, but she did it. She looks stunning and so happy. They’re both giddy with happiness and love.

I glance down when Mike’s message flashes on the screen for a second time. He’s been checking in with me since Max was born and I think it’s really sweet.

Damon drops into the chair next to me and immediately places his arm around my shoulders. He pulls me into his side and drops a kiss on my head before leaning down to do the same to Max.

“That was such a beautiful ceremony! You did a great job. I'm kinda jealous you won't be able to perform my future wedding ceremony.” I smile up at him.

“Why can't I?” Damon asks.

“Oh… uh…”

“Because she wants you to be the groom, dumbass,” Steele groans. “I just want to smack the two of you upside the head and force you to put aside all the stupid shit and get back together.”

I blink at him, unsure of how to respond. I mean, he’s right. I want Damon to be the groom and he’s made it clear he wants me in his life, but I'm afraid he’s going to regret it one day.

“I want to be your groom, baby,” Damon whispers in my ear, sending goosebumps down my neck.

Mike: I was thinking of coming to visit next week. Is that ok?

“Who’s that?” Damon points to the phone in my lap.

“Justin’s brother. He’s been keeping in touch since Justin died. He really wants to meet Max.” My bottom lip slides between my teeth as concern fills me. Mike’s always made me uncomfortable, but I don’t feel like I can deny him meeting his own nephew.

“And how do you feel about that?” Damon’s low, deep voice fans over me and brings me a certain level of calmness. He knows me too well.

“I'm not sure. Justin wasn’t really close to him. There was a reason for it, but he never told me. I guess I'm just nervous about him coming here. I only met him once and he was nice, but I don’t really know him. He mentioned staying with us, but I'm not comfortable with that.”

“Max is your baby, it’s your decision. If you feel like you can't say no, we can give him the name of the hotel close by and offer to meet him somewhere. There’s no reason he needs to know where we live.”

“I’ll come with you guys. If you’re not comfortable around him, there’s a reason.” Rocco watches us.

“Me too,” Steele murmurs softly.

They’re always cognizant of Max sleeping and are careful not to wake him. They’ve gone out of their way to help us in every way.

When everyone came over yesterday, Knox and Willow brought enough food to stock our freezer. According to Willow, Knox is an amazing cook and he made everything.
