She nodded. Then asked, “Did I miss the wedding?”
“No, lass. They postponed the wedding.”
“Right. Right. I think I remember that now. Shit.”
Then Lach smiled. “Couldn’t postpone the baby though.”
Gina’s eyes grew wide. “Oh my God. Elena had the baby. Did I know this?” Then she waved her hand. “Doesn’t matter. Is…is Elena okay? Is the baby okay?”
“Yeah, Mama and Daddy and Big Sister and baby are all doing just great, Sunshine. He’s a healthy little boy. Ugly as his daddy though, poor kid.”
Gina laughed softly. “Oh, he is not. I bet he’s beautiful.”
“Yeeeah. He’s beautiful. All wee babies are.”
“Which name did they decide on?”
“Jonas.”
Gina laughed again, this time a little harder. “So, Tina won?”
Lachlan nodded solemnly. “Tina won. Of course.”
“The Jonas Brothers. Or, I guess Jonasbrother, singular.”
“Right.” He couldn’t keep the twinkle out of his eye. “Because Jordan is the one having twins.”
Gina jumped in her chair then frowned like she regretted it. “She’swhat?”
“Mm-hmm. Twins.”
She laid her hand on her belly. “I can’t even imagine.”
“It’s why she looks eighteen months pregnant,” Lach joked.
“I will smack you for her once I’m not feeling like death warmed over.”
“Hey! She’s the one who said it first.”
Gina’s expression turned wistful. “Oh, Jordan.” A sudden tear slid down her cheek. “I’ve missed so much.”
Lachlan reached across the little breakfast table and grabbed Gina’s hand. “Not everything. I just told you, they postponed the wedding.”
“I know. You did, and not for the first time. Was it because of Elissa? Is she okay?”
“She’s great, Sunshine. Running Watchdog like she’s been doing it all her life. No, they postponed the wedding for you.”
Gina tilted her head. “What?”
“Said she couldn’t get married without her maid of honor.”
Gina made a fist and pressed her knuckles against her lips as her eyes watered. She looked at the view out the window.
“I need a minute.”
Lachlan let her have it.
“When?” she finally asked.
