He was saying everything I felt. I didn't need to say anything at all. Instead I looked through the box that Rob had given James. There was everything from naming books to actual books for the baby. So that we could read him bedtime stories.
"How does it feel to be knocked up?" Matt asked.
Melissa punched his arm.
"I'm just so happy. And hungry. We haven't eaten breakfast yet."
"Oh, we'll go get the cake," Bee said and quickly stood up. "You know this means we have to hop on the kid train soon too, Mason. We want our kids to grow up and be friends."
"We have a little time," said Mason. "Matt and Rob are three years younger than James and me. And we all get along great. But yeah. I'd like our kids to grow up together. Which means all of you have to speed things up too," Mason said to Matt and Rob.
"Well, Daphne and I are moving in together," Rob said. "Babies are next after that, right?" he said with a laugh.
"You're moving out of your place in Newark?" I asked.
"Well, yeah. James asked me to run Hunter Tech. I kind of need to be here. And I want to be here." He put his arm around Daphne.
"You asked him to run Hunter Tech?"
Rob laughed. "I think you two have a few things you need to talk about. Let's all go help with the cake."
Daphne helped Rob to his feet and everyone went into the kitchen.
"You asked him to take over?" I asked. I couldn't hide my excitement. This had to mean that he was going to teach again. That he finally realized what truly made him happy.
"Yeah. He wants to settle down. I think he was looking for an excuse to move here so that it wouldn't seem so crazy fast with Daphne. And he needs a little structure in his life. Besides, he was handling all my emails and stuff while I was in the hospital and he really took care of things for me. Thanks for having him handle that, by the way."
"I never asked him to handle it."
"You didn't?"
"No. I guess he just...did it."
James smiled. "Even more reason why he'll be a great fit. And he has a lot of great ideas for the company."
"And what about you?"
"The doctor said less stress. And I want to be there for you and the baby. I don't want to be working all the time."
I smiled. "Won't you be bored?"
"I may have applied for a few local teaching jobs," he said with a smile.
"Yeah?"
"You sound surprised. I told you I'd think about it before the wedding. I thought about it...and that's what I want."
"You're going to be a professor again?"
"Well, we'll see. I haven't heard back yet or anything. And I don't want to start anytime soon. I think I need some time off."
"James, you don't even understand how happy that makes me."
"I think you just want to be able to call me Professor Hunter all the time again."
I laughed. "I'll never tire of calling you that. But no, that's not why. It's because you finally realized what you love."
"I love you."
