be great, Dev. Do you mind? The Mustang isn't exactly a family vehicle, and sometimes it's so much stuff to lug back and forth, but we don't have enough room to keep her stuff here."
"Baby, I want you and Kieki to be safe and comfortable, so whatever works best for you. Hell. I'm hardly here. The Mustang will do it for me when I need a personal vehicle." He leaned down and kissed the smiling mouth, as he reached over and opened the front door. Ewyn and Kiera preceded him into the hallway. "Next week, I'll touch base with my contractor and find out if we have room to remodel, so Keiki can have her own space when she's here. We'll duplicate the necessities and you won't have to carry anything back and forth."
Devin locked the door and caught up with Ewyn and Kiera as they entered the elevator.
No sooner had Ewyn entered the house than Mycelia appeared and removed Kiera from his arms. "Well, hello to all of you, too," he said and quickly moved aside when Rosa and a few of the other staff members gathered around fussing over Kiera.
"Sorry. We miss this little one when she's away. The house is too settled." Rosa grinned at Ewyn then exclaimed, "Oh, Mister Devin, you're safely home. Good to see you."
"Thanks, Rosa. It's good to be home." He set Kiera's stuff on the floor. "I see Ewyn has competition for Kieki's affections." He winked at Ewyn, who stood in the middle of the room looking lost.
"Oh, yes. It's good to have a little one in the house again. It's been so long. Everyone dotes on her."
"I can imagine."
"Would you like some breakfast?" she asked.
"No, thank you. I've already eaten." Devin went to the refrigerator and retrieved a bottle of water, then went to retrieve the baby's gear. "Have Mick and Tag arrived?"
"Yes, they're upstairs with Gemma." Rosa bustled over to prevent him from taking the baby's things. "Leave those. The help will take care of them."
"Okay." He hurried to catch up with Ewyn, who had left the kitchen in a huff. "Hey, baby-boy. What's the matter?"
"I should be used to all the fuss they make over Kieki by now, but every time I bring her home, I don't want to leave her."
"Hmm. Is jealousy rearing its ugly head?" Devin chuckled.
"Hell, yeah."
Devin put an arm across Ewyn's shoulders and turned him toward the stairs. "If it makes you feel any better, I had a moment of jealousy myself."
"Really, Dev?" Ewyn looked up at him. "I fell in love with her the first time I held her, and I've become so possessive…"
Devin put a finger to Ewyn's lips, looked around in a conspiratorial manner, then he whispered, "Don't tell anybody, but we're taking her back home with us. It's your weekend."
Ewyn stopped moving, turned, and hurled himself at Devin. "But it's your first night back, and you've been gone a long time. Are you sure?"
"Baby, listen to me. I've fallen hard for another Calderone, and since my time at home is iffy, I intend to use these weekends to get to know my niece. Besides, she sleeps more than she's awake. We'll fill in those moments with some one-on-one." He nipped the pouty bottom lip.
"Thanks, Dev. Have I told you how much I love you?
"I'd prefer a demonstration, but I'll settle for a kiss." He claimed Ewyn's mouth in a sultry kiss that ended too soon, when someone clearing their throat intruded on the moment.
"Good thing the two of you can't procreate," Taggart remarked. "Because this house would be full of little Nilsson-Calderones."
Devin loosened his hold on Ewyn but didn't release him. Ewyn turned in his arms and he pulled baby-boy back against him, his arms snaking around the trim waist. Eyebrow arched, he stared at Taggart. "Jealous?"
"Hell yeah." Taggart came over and shook Devin's hand. "Good to have you back in one piece. Sorry about your guys."
Ewyn swung around and glared at Devin. "Whoa. Did I miss something?"
"I'll tell you about it when we get home. I believe we had more important issues to discuss this morning--Niki and Caro." Devin stared into tempestuous
