Armand placed his hands over the baby and grinned like a loon, “She’s anxious to join her cousins. I love you.”
The other two gargoyles joined them, shaking the water out of their hair and off of their bodies as they joined their mates on their lounges, causing much squeaks of protest and laughter. Gavin and Alex stayed behind to continue playing with the little ones and Fray. Setting her magazine down, Gwendolyn joined them in the water, a brilliant smile on her face.
Vaughn looked at Ferris with warm affection in his golden eyes, his arm possessively wrapped around Melanie. They were the first and they were even more madly in love than ever, the way they were always meant to be. “I still can’t believe this smiling man is the same brother who barely cracked a smile for four hundred years.”
“He just didn’t have anything worth smiling about,” Rhys said, scooping Jenna up and settling her on his lap. He brushed a gentle kiss along her neck, making her blush. Ferris thought it was adorable that her mom could still blush after all of these years mated to the unreservedly passionate gargoyle.
“Very true,” Armand readily agreed, grinning from ear to ear, his green eyes dancing with laughter and love.
A Braxton-Hicks contraction tightened Ferris’s belly unexpectedly and she let her shield drop momentarily, bathing the small gathering with her inner light. With wide eyes, she quickly put the shield back up and looked around to see four sets of eyes staring at her. Her mother’s mouth was gaping as she growled, “Ferris, is there something you forgot to tell me?”
“I didn’t forget,” she offered lamely. “I just held a few things back.”
Armand buried his face against her neck, his shoulders shaking in laughter. His lips pressed against her throat as he shook his head, “Gods, Ferris, I love you. I love you so much.”
