She shook her head "I don’t know Try talking to her"

I growled outon Caroline toit up and think I wanted one or so now that she knew she couldn’t have any But she was busy talking with Aspen and Hart I turned back to the kid

The little thing was kind of cute with that ever-serious expression

"Hey," I said, not sure what the fuck I was supposed to talk about with a one-year-old "Uhhappy birthday"

Skylar reared her head back at my voice as if surprised that I’d finally decided to talk to her Then her lips twitched, and she s shifted in my chest and fuck, who knew one little baby smile was so damn powerful? I think I fell I love

"Blondie Hey, I think she likes rinned up at uy"

"Yeah" I nodded "Fuck, yeah, I a me" This caused another smile to spread across Skylar’s face, and yep, I’d probably die for her She had caught me, hook, line and sinker

Blondie stayed nearby, holding on to the boy’s hands as he toddled across the grass "Can you do that?" I asked the girl "Walk like your brother?"

But the very second I turned her way, she decided to gather up the boy and stand Probleh to ht in the eye as we collided into each other

"Motherfucker," I howled,stars as my eye exploded with pain

"Oh my God," she shrieked "Oh, Ten, I’m so sorry Are you okay?"
