Page 58 of A Play for Love

“Damn right, we are.” Simon grinned as he picked up his guitar and started strumming some tunes.

“Shaun!” Julia yelled as she ran over to us. “Jenni’s water just broke.”

“What?” He jumped up from his chair. “She’s not due for another three weeks.”

“Doesn’t matter. Your babies want to be born now. Go grab her hospital bag and the car. Oh, and be prepared. She’s having contractions, and she’s cussing Georgia out.”

“Shit. The whole point of her scheduled C-section was so she didn’t have to experience labor.” Shaun sighed.

“I better go grab my keys and get Georgia to the hospital,” Jackson said. “Come on, fam. Let’s go welcome two new additions to the Kind family.”

CHAPTER21

TWO WEEKS LATER

Stella and Sawyer are absolutely beautiful.” I smiled as I held each of them in my arms. “Are you okay, Shaun?” I asked as he walked down the stairs.

“Sure. I’ve slept a total of maybe eight hours in the last two weeks. I’m good.” He grabbed a cup from the cabinet and took it to the coffee machine.

“Don’t listen to him,” Jenni said. “My parents have been a huge help.”

“When is your nanny starting?” I asked.

“In a couple of days. I couldn’t tell her she couldn’t go on her vacation because the twins came early. Shaun is such a good daddy. Isn’t that right, baby?” She kissed his cheek when he sat down next to her.

“Yes. I’m a great Dad.” He brought the cup to his lips, and I laughed.

“They are so precious.” I couldn’t stop staring at them.

“Are you getting baby fever?” Jenni smirked.

“Oh, God, no. I have my hands full with Nicholas right now. But, maybe in a couple of years.”

There was a knock at the door, so Shaun got up and answered it.

“I’m here.” Barb strolled in. “Where are my precious grandchildren? Jenni, you’re glowing.” She smiled as she kissed her cheek.

“Aunt Barb, when did you get back?” I asked as I handed her Stella.

“Late last night. The second I got Shaun’s message, I was elated. Oh my gosh, these babies are gorgeous and perfect in every way.”

“How was your trip?” Shaun asked.

“It was amazing and well worth the money.”

“I’m happy to hear that. Can I make you a cup of coffee?” he asked.

“That would be great, darling. Thank you.”

The sliding door opened, and Simon walked in.

“Mom, when did you get back?”

“Late last night. And hello to you too.”

“Sorry. I was just surprised to see you.” He walked over and kissed her cheek. “Welcome back. Anyway, I just wanted to check in before I head to the station.”
