For her.

At the mention of pregnancy, the woman grinned. Hailey still couldn’t believe it. She and Bodhi were having a little one together, and she was excited.

In fact, the whole family was.

They’d circled her and Bodhi, and made them theirs. That had changed everything. Now, if Bodhi would start talking to his father again, instead of being pissed at him for the mess he’d created, it would be a good wedding and holiday season.

“I’m willing to try,” Hailey said, not sure if she’d get this chance again. “I’ll be landing on my ass, not my uterus,” she stated. “I hope.”

Tori laughed.

Why?

Bethany.

The woman was in pregnancy hover mode. She watched over the pregnant women like it was her sole mission in the afterlife.

Tori reassured Hailey.

“Don’t worry. Our dead friend said she’ll keep you from falling. I pictured it in my head. That’s some ghost bubble wrap.”

Bex snorted.

“There are worst things that could happen than the dead having your back. Bethany is a good bodyguard,” she admitted and felt a cold kiss to her cheek in reward.

“Kiss ass,” Tori joked as they were ready to check-in.

At the desk, Tori smiled at the concierge.

“Hello! Welcome to The Resort,” the pretty woman said. “What can I do for you?”

She dropped her business credit card onto the counter and told her.

“We’re checking in. We have some rooms so if you could get us handled, we would appreciate that. This is for my room.”

The woman was super friendly and proceeded to do just that.

“Names?”

“They’ll be under Littlemoon, Carvil, Darby, and Monroe. We booked a whole block of suites and a penthouse.”

They all looked at Bishop.

She laughed.

“Hey now. Lucian booked my room. Don’t think I would ever pick that as my room.”

Uh-huh.

They were well aware of who was behind it.

The woman did her thing and entered the information into the computer.

“Well, Mrs. Monroe,” she said, doing her room first. “You definitely have the penthouse.”

“Oh, Lucian, we’re going to talk this over when I get home,” she muttered under her breath as she was rolling her eyes. “I’m married to a nut. Does it come with bodyguards and gun turrets?” she asked.

The woman looked confused as if she was serious.
