minutes? We’ve been here for hours.”
She rolled her eyes and looked at her watch.
“We’ve been here for barely one, and it did not take three minutes.
You were only there for three minutes. If I remember correctly, you
only showed up at the end after I’d been dealing with labor for
hours.”
He sat next to her and kissed her on the
nose. “You didn’t feel a thing and you know it. Pete took all your
pain and put it aside. And I couldn’t be there because it was the
hottest part of the day and—”
“You two sound like my mom and dad used to.
Do you fight all the time?”
Sara snapped her mouth closed and looked at
Mathew.
“It’s hard to hear Mr. Draco tell me about
flying if you two are gonna fight.”
“You’re right, my man. And Draco has been
around for a long time, so he should have some amazing stories. But
Sara and I aren’t fighting. We’re remembering loudly.”
Mathew rolled his eyes much like Sara had
done at Aaron.
“She’s trying to tell me that I’m wrong. We
both know that can’t be true now, can it?”
Mathew looked between the two of them before
shaking his head. “You two are weird. I love you, but you’re very
weird.”
He walked away, and Sara couldn’t breathe.
When Aaron took her hand, she looked at him. He was smiling and
nodded at her. “Feels good, doesn’t it?”
She nodded.
“I would never have guessed that having a
little boy tell me he loves me would feel so damned wonderful. And
he doesn’t have to either. We’re nothing more to him than anyone
else is in the family, yet he does.”
“I don’t even care that he thinks we’re
weird.” She looked at Mathew sitting at the feet of the only dragon
left in the world and enjoying himself. “He’s going to figure this
all out soon if he hasn’t already. Figure out that we’re not as
normal as he thinks we all are.”
“I think he knows something is different
about us. He already knows about the castle and the beings there.
He knows that I rest during the day, but can talk to him if he
wants.” She looked at him, surprised. “He can talk to me on a
wavelength that was never there before. A path that I know just he
and I share. You should try it. It’s amazing.”
She reached for his mind and felt the
instant connection. When he turned to her and smiled, she wanted to
get up and go to him, but he turned back to Draco and spoke to
her.
“ You’re being weird again.”
Sara burst out laughing and felt tears
gather in her eyes. He was so amazing she wanted to find his dad
and hug him. Standing, she decided to do just that. Sara found him
on the deck on the phone.
He glanced at her, but she could tell he was
upset. She noticed that Lizzy was seated at the patio table and she
too looked upset. She sat with her and waited for Logan to
disconnect before she asked what was wrong.
“The realtor. She said that the house we
wanted is sold. I’ve been trying to get him to tell me who bought
it for the last ten minutes. Did they say anything when Aaron
called them?”
Sara nodded and called Aaron to her.
“We really loved that house, and Mathew was
going to be so close to you guys, something he had requested before
we left.”
Aaron came out the door and she told him
what had happened. He nodded and asked Logan to sit. Sara went to
stand next to Aaron when he reached for her hand.
“It’s our wedding gift to you.”
Logan look confused, but Lizzy smiled.
“We actually bought it several years ago and
had only had the realtor show you today so we could see if you
liked it. When you called me today to ask me to make an offer, we
meant to tell you when you got back home, but then Mac called and
things—”
“You bought us a house several years
ago?”
Sara shook her head at Logan’s question and
knelt before him to answer him. He looked a little freaked out. “We
bought the house for Lizzy to use. Someday we hoped she’d find a
mate, but we wanted her to be close to us before she moved far
