I faced him, gripping his cut and leaning up on my tiptoes to kiss him. “I love you.”
He grinned, kissing me back. “Love you too, baby.”
“How do you feel about putting some of your clothes here?” I asked Teddy.
“Yeah! Can I stay now?”
“How about we plan for tomorrow night?” Sundance suggested. “That way your sister can pack a few things for you.”
“Okay, Sunny. Can I play pinball?”
“In a minute. I have another question for you, and it’s really important.”
“Okay, Sunny,” he said, focusing on him.
“I love your sister, and I wanna know if you’d give me your blessing to marry her.”
“Oh my god,” I breathed out, blinking back tears.
“So, you’d be my brother?” Teddy asked.
“Yeah, buddy, we’d be brothers.”
“Yeah!” he said.
“Okay, then we’re gonna get married. How do you feel about Wyatt having a baby?”
Teddy glanced at my belly, then met my eyes. “Baby?”
“I’m having a baby, Teddy Bear.”
He frowned. “But what…?”
“What, honey?”
“Will you love me still?”
I slid around Sundance and went to my brother, wrapping my arms around his waist. “Oh my god, Teddy Bear, I could never stop loving you. You’re my favorite.”
“Will you stop visiting?”
“No, buddy, we’re gonna make it so you live with us full-time.”
This came from Sundance, and I gave him a warning frown, which he ignored. There was so much involved with getting Teddy moved from Meteor House into a regular home, including safeguards, nursing staff, tutors, and a home that will accommodate him.
“You are?” Teddy asked.
“Yeah, buddy, we are. It’s gonna take a little time, but that’s the plan,” Sundance said.
“Yeah!” Teddy bellowed, releasing me. “Can I go play pinball now?”
“Yeah, honey,” I said. “Go for it.”
Teddy left us and I crossed my arms and stared at Sundance. “We were supposed to talk about how to proceed.”
“You were takin’ too long, baby, so I made an executive decision.”
“I’m too tired to argue with you,” I ground out. “But you’re gonna spend a shit ton on a dress and a party, along with a very tasteful, but gigantic diamond for my hand.”
