“Hush, brat,” Alecto says with a small smile. “Our things are at the bungalow already, we may as well go.”

“They are?” I ask, eyes wide as I snuggle my gorgeous daughter.

“Yes, they are,” Bast says with a smirk. “There’s no reason to wait, unless we want to be polite.”

“I’m good,” I say with a wince once I realize how awful that sounded.

“You’re perfect,” Samael says. “Take my hand.”

I think this is more so that he can hold it than because he needs to at this point, but I hold his hand with a smile.

“Hold onto Mommy, baby,” I tell Circe.

“I would find you anywhere, Mommy,” she promises, making my eyes water.

Ugh, I’ve become so hormonal recently.

One moment I’m at the university, and the next I’m in Florida on a blanket of beautiful white sand. There’s an archway of pretty flowers in front of me, and my mates’ parents are surrounding us.

“I hear there’s a wedding,” Phenex’s parents say with a smile.

The only parents we’re missing are mine and Alecto’s, but he is beaming with happiness regardless. It’s a happy day.

Taking off my graduation robe, I enjoy Alecto’s gasp as my mates see my beachy white dress. While it’s not a traditional wedding dress, it’s perfect for moving around, chasing a toddler, and living.

“We are ready when you are,” Samael says, nodding to where his parents are standing underneath the arch. “They wanted to marry us.”

“Really?” I ask. Getting married was something that we decided on as a whim. When I said yes, the guys got things in motion.

I checked out of the details while getting ready for our vacation after my graduation. I knew they had it handled.

I also haven’t said more than a handful of words to Samael’s parents, which is another reason I’m surprised.

“They love you because you love me,” he says with a shrug. “It’s that simple.”

“Then I’m ready,” I say with a smile. My sandals sink into the sand as Circe walks me down the aisle in a way that’s more us running than walking, and the guys grin as they wait at the end for us.

My cheeks are flushed with excitement, my curls tumbling down my back as I stand in front of them. Leaning down, I pick up my daughter, and she watches with wide eyes as Samael’s parents marry us to her fathers.

“By the power vested in us by the Demon Council, I pronounce you husbands and wife,” Rosemary says with a smile.

“Feel free to kiss the bride,” Terrance adds.

The guys give me sweet kisses, and everyone claps as they cheer. The sun is beginning to set, and everyone smiles indulgently as Circe yawns widely.

“Can we take her for the night?” Rosemary, Samael’s mother, asks tentatively. “We actually decided to grab a room at the hotel here.”

“We did too,” Phenex’s parents say, while Bast’s parents nod.

“We’ll deliver her to your rental house midway through the afternoon tomorrow?” Terrance, her husband, asks knowingly while I blush.

“As long as she doesn’t ask for us, that’s fine,” Samael says, materializing Circe’s bag. “Do you want to stay the night with your grandparents, Circe?”

“All of them?” she asks with wide eyes.

“The rooms may all connect, so yes,” Rosemary says with a nod. “What do you think?”

“Mommy, will you miss me?” Circe asks.
