Page 61 of Surviving Enchantment: Part two
“Sure.Be quiet.Keep your voice low.He just got to bed two hours ago.”
She opened the door, and Emily smiled, waving silently.Emmers sat on a chair that creaked slightly with his weight.Amy reached for the cookies and slid the plate to him.
Emily frowned.
Amy gestured to them, and Emily grinned, went to the kitchen, and got a container, taking a dozen off the tower of cookies on the plate.
Emmers took one and bit it in half, then his eyes closed, then opened, and he put the rest of the cookie in his mouth.He pointed at Emily with an arched brow.She grinned, shook her head, and pointed at Amy.
He looked at Amy, pointed at the cookies, and pressed his hands together, begging.She pushed the plate toward him, and he dove in.At one point, she pressed her fingers against his forehead, and she rescued four cookies.He frowned.She held her hand out at her seated shoulder height.He nodded with understanding.
The cookies didn’t survive another ten minutes.Emily grinned and poured him some tea.
Amy chuckled and spoke softly, “In case you wondered, Kairek and Iris are having a date night.It’s a holiday, so Jerrik has the day off, so we are giving those two some privacy and hoping they remember protection this time.”
Emily chuckled and whispered, “Or not.They made a great kid the first time.”
Amy rolled her eyes and tutted.
“What?He’s mentioned moving in.Their house has room for at least two more.You are an amazing babysitter.”Emily grinned.
Amy stuck her tongue out at Emily.“The kids are always wary.I don’t feel right, but I am willing to play.”
Emmers’ head swivelled toward her, and his brows went up.
“Not like that, pervert.I make snow slides, and we have snowball fights in the middle of summer,” she muttered.
He grinned.
She sighed.“Why are you here?”
He opened his phone and showed her the image of Nylora and the baby.He opened a chat and handed it to her.
Amy, thanks for seeing what I needed and getting things to move right.Jennel has told me about your skillset for organization and intuition, and I thank you for it.My aunt looks delightful, and when I meet her for tea in a few weeks, do you think you will have some time to join us?
Amy wrinkled her nose.“She’s very smart.”
“Solor is very proud, both of his son and his wife.”He whispered it.“We all hope that he gets her brains and her looks.”
She smiled.“Dark fae skin at birth is rare.Nylora is powerful as well.”
He nodded and said softly, “Matthias must be putting something in the water here.”
“Or luring in the wave.Either one.”
There was a sound, and Jerrik came out in his PJs.“Agent Emmers, is my dad here?”
Amy winced.“No buddy.He and your mom are out talking about how they want things to look from now on.”
Jerrik rubbed his eyes.“Like what?”
Emmers said softly, “Like if your dad is going to come live with you.If your mom can deal with his schedule.That kind of thing.”
Jerrik nodded.“Oh, Dad told me he was going to convince Mom I need a brother or sister.”
Amy snorted and sipped at her tea.“Well, that does require a lot of time discussing.”
“That’s what Dad said.He said it had to be done in private because it was serious.”
