“How’s she doing emotionally?” Julian asked since he was worried about her.

Lucian reassured him.

“She’s good. Apparently, there are no more baby blues, and she was laughing and happy when I spoke to her an hour ago. She and Roman are grabbing dinner, and then taking their little one home.”

They were all happy that she’d made the turn and was on the road to being back to her normal self. She’d been through a lot.

“Justin is in-house with Vivian. She’s resting since she’s carrying multiples. He’s doing the paperwork for the daycare here. He has to hire more childcare workers since he’s singlehandedly filling it.”

Julian laughed.

That was the god’s honest truth too.

“He’s dead if he points his dick at Viv. I heard her tell him no and all he did was smile at her. My twin is grounded for a very long time.”

The men all laughed.

Yeah, women got spicy when they were carrying babies. They’d all been that target.

“I’d risk it,” Lucian admitted. “Cassia is an angel. She looks like my wife, before her plastic surgery. I’d take five Bishops. I like living on the edge.”

Ridge was amused.

He felt that way about his daughter too.

“Sophia is my little love. I want more kids, but Wynter watches me like a hawk—especially around Justin. She’s afraid it’s contagious.”

Julian laughed.

How could he not?

Twins and multiples in his family were, apparently, a common thing, and he was a deadman if that ever happened to Tori.

She’d neuter him herself and enjoy every second of it too.

Tori was making sure that she took her birth control every single morning.

Just.

In.

Case.

“Beau and London are working the case in New York since they rocked out the Florida trip to recover that art. They flew out today and will be back when it’s closed up. We have Savannah with us,” Ridge said.

Julian appreciated that.

“Thank you for helping.”

He didn’t mind.

His mother was singlehandedly collecting any wayward children that needed a makeshift daycare.

She loved children.

“Like I said. I want more kids. I’m hoping my wife sees that with multiple kids it’s easier.”

Wynter had yet to shut down that avenue.
