"Okay. Have a good lunch, Dr. Beckett."
I still get butterflies every time I hear someone call me Dr. Beckett.
Walking into the garage, I spot Quinn with his back to me talking to Logan. I'm just about to open my mouth to say hi when Logan alerts him to my presence. When my husband turns to face me my smile fades when I see who he has with him. Strapped to Quinn's chest in a baby carrier is our eleven-week-old daughter Lydia.
Lydia Faith Beckett came into this world almost three months ago. She has Quinn's dirty blonde hair, but the rest of our daughter is all me; right down to my fair skin complexion and grey eyes. "Quinn, why is Lydia here? This is Alba's day."
Yes, we all have our kids on rotation. Some days Alba has them, then two days out of the week they are with Grace at her bakery. She even had a playroom built and hired two ladies who look after our kids. The parents who come in for coffee and donuts can keep their kids in the playroom as well.
Then on Fridays Bella has the kids at the shop. Fridays are the shops slowest days, plus Jake's mom has been coming in to help. She spends as much time with her granddaughter Ellie Kate as possible.
The problem here is my husband has a bad case of separation anxiety. Typically, it's the mom who has a hard time going back to work after maternity leave, but not me. I was more than ready. It helped to know my daughter was in good hands when she wasn't with me. When I was home on leave, Quinn would stop by the house every day for lunch. It got to where he started sneaking back all throughout the day. Finally, one day Jake had enough and showed up at mine and Quinn's house. He threatened to put a bullet in my husbands' ass if he didn't get back to work.
"Come on, Sunshine," Quinn grumbles, "I needed my Lydi loves."
"Quinn it's only noon. You loved on her just four hours ago."
"Babe," he says letting out an exasperated sigh.
"What?"
"Get your ass over here and kiss your husband."
Shaking my head, I do as he says. Stepping up to Quinn, I stroke my daughter's silky blonde hair with my finger then kiss her chubby cheek. Quinn steals my attention by swooping down and taking my mouth.
Breaking our kiss, I lay my head on his chest next to our baby girls face and breathe in Quinn's smell mixed with Lydia's sweet scent. Reaching up, I place my hand on my daughters where it's resting over her daddy's heart. Kissing the top of my head and then Lydia's, Quinn murmurs.
"It beats for us."
