“Absolutely. Now, I think maybe some of the rest of the boys might find their one, don’t you?” she asks, looking pointedly atwhere Ash is arguing with one of the waitresses from the club’s bar.

Marnie’s a bit of an enigma. None of us know her story and while we have a basic background check on her to make sure she wouldn’t bring trouble to the club, seeing her trading barbs with my vice president has me wondering what’s going on.

“I see it too,” Holly whispers, sidling up to my side. “Do you think maybe there’s something there between them?”

“No clue, but we’re not getting in the middle of it,” I instruct.

She smirks at me and says, “Whatever you say, hubby dear.”

I can’t help the snort that escapes my lips because I know my wife well enough to know she’s going to jump into the fray with both feet. I just hope she waits until our little man comes first. The thought of her insinuating herself in anything right now gives me cold chills. That could be the caveman in me, I don’t know, but if I could wrap her in bubble wrap until she delivers, I’d be perfectly okay.

“Guess we’re both going to have to wait and see what happens, sweetheart,” I tell her. “Now, let’s go see what all we got for our little guy so we can see what else we’re going to need.”

“Sounds like a plan to me. Can we make a pitstop at the cake table first? Our son wants another piece,” she teases.

“Of course, he does,” I reply, chuckling. Once Holly got past the first few months, she’s been able to eat without any problems and she’s done what she said she would do; gotten huge as our son has grown. Granted, she’s always going to be beautiful to me, especially with the pregnancy glow she’s got going on, butI know once he arrives, she’ll be stressing. Still, if she wants another piece of cake, I’m not gonna deny her.

Never will.

Whatever she wants, if it’s within my power to get it for her, I’ll do so.

As we pass Ash and Marnie, I see him pull his hand through his hair in frustration. Yeah, that situation is definitely one to watch.

The end… for now!
