Yes, even lawyer man.
And when we went home together in the limo, Jacine Alexander relaxed very much.
And, damn it, we forgot the condoms.
EPILOGUE
Franklin
Iknow I’ve kept my mouth shut during this whole adventure, but I guess it’s my turn now.
Do I think it is a good idea that my precious little girl takes up with four men? Live with each one of them or a combination of them at any one time?
No. What father would?
Did I second-guess her decision?
No. Things are as they are. At least if one of them falls off the map, she has the others to keep her steady.
There is only so much a father can do when he raises a little girl on his own. I couldn’t do the job a mother could, and after Adelaide, I didn’t want to screw up my daughter by bringing in another woman. Hollywood is rife with horror stories about that, and I wanted to protect my precious baby girl as much as I could.
And to tell you the truth, I had guilt to bear in how things shook out. Had I paid more attention to my wife instead of my work, she might not have run off with a man more unstable than the San Andreas Fault. Had I been a more enlightened man, I would have invited Tobias into the mix, because I do love him like a brother, and trust him with my life. And I know he was attracted to Adeline. I couldn’t miss how his eyes followed her around a room.
But he was a good friend and didn’t take advantage of her weakness.
I’m forever grateful for that.
Is it a little weird that my best friend is bedding my daughter?
Hell, yeah.
There are things I don’t like to think about, and that’s one of them. So it’s especially strange that my daughter is going to marry him, with Cole, Jersey, and Rory standing in as groomsmen.
So I’m standing here in my tux waiting for my daughter to come out of the dressing room so I can escort her down the aisle.
The door opens, and I stare. She always was beautiful, but today she takes my breath away.
The wedding dress is an Empire waist because it is the best waistline to minimize a pregnancy. Yep. My little girl is going to be a mom. I couldn’t be prouder.
Color me shocked when I found out all it takes now is a sample of the mother’s blood and a DNA sample from the potential fathers to determine who to call papa. Again, by agreement, they all decided she should marry the baby daddy though that’s hardly necessary in California to protect the rights of the child. Holmes said it had to do with karma, which absolutely made no sense to me, but the rest of the guys ate up his words, so what am I to say?
“You ready?” she said with a big smile.
“Yes.”
“Good. Because there are three more after this.”
“What are you talking about?”
“We figure each time I get pregnant I’ll divorce the last one and marry the next. By the time I’m done, I’ll call all of them husband with good reason.”
“That’s, that’s—”
“Genius,” she smiled. “Instead of “My Three Sons” we’ll have “My Four Husbands.”
“You’re not seriously thinking—”
She laughed. “Of course not. Well, almost. Cole likes the idea of a reality show.”
