“When?”
“Today.”Her voice was trembling, he assumed from excitement.“Our babies get to go home!”
“That’s fantastic, JJ,” Reese told her, standing at the island as he stared down at the phone.
Brantley was almost positive those were tears he saw in Reese’s eyes.And fine, maybe he had a bit of moisture building up in his, too.He was thrilled for JJ and Baz, grateful that Noah and Naomi were well enough to come home so soon.
“If there’s anything you need before or after, just let us know,” Brantley told her.
“We’re good.Baz went home to get the car seats.The doctor said around noon, so we’re checkin’ out of the hotel and we’ll wait at the hospital.”
“That’s fantastic.”
“I know, right?”JJ sighed.“Is there anything I can do for the case until then?”
Brantley looked at Archer.He was in charge.
“We’ve got it covered, JJ.You focus on those little ones.But I promise to keep you updated.”
“You’re a good man, Archer Halligan,” she said with a smile in her voice.“Did you know he sent me an email update with everything that happened yesterday?”
Assuming she was talking to him, Brantley said, “I did not.”
“Yep.Told me about the shenanigans with the tails and the blood you found at the house.Did you get the results yet?”
“Twenty-four hours,” he and Reese said at the same time.
“Well, I’m keepin’ my fingers crossed.”Her voice took on a dream quality when she added, “My babies are comin’ home.”
“Let us know when we can stop by and see them.We’ll wait for an invite so we don’t interrupt your time with them.”
“Soon,” she said.“I promise.”She took a deep breath.“Okay.That’s all for now.I’ll talk to y’all later.”
“Later, JJ.”He tapped theend callbutton on the screen.
“She sounds happy,” Archer acknowledged.
“Oh, yeah.This is a huge relief after all they’ve been through.”
“Well, let’s try to ride this wave of good luck.”Archer glanced between them.“And figure out where Kylie is so she can come home, too.”
Yeah.What he said.
