“How’s it going?” Christian and Jackson walked into the O.R.

“Almost finished,” Conner spoke.

“Looks good,” Jackson said as he leaned over and examined his work.

“Excuse me? It looks perfect,” Conner said.

“How long until a cast?” I asked him.

“When the swelling subsides. I’ll want to cast her in about five days. She’ll be in a sling and immobilizer until then. I know I’m perfect at closing, but you’re the plastics guy. Do you want to close up your daughter’s arm?”

“Don’t mind if I do.” The corners of my mouth curved upward as Conner stepped out of the way. “Carol, go get Sofia and take her to recovery for when we bring Ella there.”

“Will do, Dr. Kind.”

Once I finished, we took Ella to recovery.

“How did it go?” Sofia hugged me.

“It went great,” My grip tightened around her.

“Now we wait for her to wake up,” Conner spoke.

“Well, how did it go?” I smiled as I found Sam and Julia in the kitchen area, talking to Jackson.

“There’s only one baby.” Sam grinned.

“Are you sure?” My brow arched. “Remember, that’s what Georgia told Jenni and Shaun at first.”

“I heard that, Dr. Kind.” Georgia walked in. “I did an ultrasound, and there’s only one baby in that belly.”

“Congratulations.” I smiled as I patted Sam’s back.

“You have no idea how relieved we are,” Julia said.

“We’re off to lunch,” Sam said. “I’ll see you guys tonight at the brewhouse.”

“Hey, Dad!” Ella walked into the kitchen area and over to the refrigerator.

“Hi, sweetheart. Are you ready to get your cast?”

“Yeah, but I want an apple first.”

“Hi.” I smiled as Sofia walked over to me. Hooking my arm around her, I kissed her lips.

“Hi, handsome.”

“Where’s Nick?” I asked.

“With June and Brandon. We went to your office first. We didn’t know you were in here. I saw Sam and Julia in the hallway. She was glowing with the news.” A smirk crossed her lips.

“Yeah. They’re pretty happy it’s not twins this time. Come on, kiddo. Uncle Conner is waiting for you.”

I went to take Nicholas from June, and she backed away.

“What are you doing?” she asked.
