“I don’t know,” Sophie said as she watched Mia lace her fingers with the tall, lanky young man. “Does he look worthy?”
“He better be,” Luke growled.
“Big brothers,” Sophie said. “I always wanted one. Do you think Jamie will be as protective of his baby sisters?”
Luke kissed the side of her temple. “He will be. I’ll teach him how to shoot.”
“That’s scary.”
“Not as scary as some yahoo messing with our baby girls.”
The door flung open and Mia and Paige burst into the room. The young man hesitated in the doorway while Sophie and Luke took turns hugging Mia and Paige.
Paige glanced around the room. “Are the twins awake?”
“They’re sleeping,” Sophie said. “But you can go and check on them if you’d like.”
Paige flushed and sprinted up the stairs.
“Sophie, Luke, Jamie,” Mia said, her voice quivering, “this is Jacob.”
Jacob stood before them and seemed uncertain what to do with his hands until Sophie drew him into a hug.
“Merry Christmas,” she said. She drew him a little closer before whispering in his ear, “and welcome to the family.”
Jacob flushed as he pulled away.
Jamie peered up at him. “Are you Mia’s boyfriend?”
“Yeah, I am.” He laughed. “You don’t know how good it feels to say that.”
Mia bumped her shoulder against his and the two grinned at each other.
“Are you going to marry her?” Jamie asked.
Jacob’s flush deepened.
Luke scooped Jamie up into his arms and ruffled his hair. “Jacob probably doesn’t know the answer to that yet.”
“Why wouldn’t he know?” Jamie asked.
In a decided effort to rescue the situation, Mia took Jacob’s hand. “Come on, I want you to meet Sarah and Amelia. They’re not as nosy as my nephew.”
Luke draped his arm around Sophie as Jacob and Mia bolted up the stairs.
“This is everything I want,” Sophie said, settling against Luke. “You, Jamie, the babies.”
“Me, too,” Luke said. “You’re everything I never knew I always wanted.”
Voices floated from upstairs, reminding Sophie that not only was her home full, but also her heart.
