Story: Duncan
“Duncan,” I whispered.
“Mmm.”
“Duncan, wake up. I have to tell you what Lucille said.”
His eyes snapped open, and he shot up. “Lucille?”
Duncan had finally come to terms with Lucille. The men spent days looking for Brian. It wasn’t until Lucille came to me in a dream and told me where they could find him that they finally tracked him down.
After I made them promise not to kill him.
Thankfully, Brian cooperated and gave them information that helped in locating three other men that were working against Sal. One of them being in New York. They made me no promises for those men.
“What did she say?”
I held his face in my hands and smiled at him. “You’re going to be a father.”
His silence worried me. But when his lips cut into a grin and he kissed me, every last shred of doubt that lived inside me about whether or not Duncan was the man for me, vanished.
“We’re having a baby?”
I nodded, and Duncan gathered me in his arms. “Wait until I tell the others.”
“We can do that tonight. I want to have everyone over for dinner. Including Caity and Maddie.”
Duncan rolled onto his back and sighed. “I don’t know if that’s a good idea. Sal has been trying to keep her and Cian apart. At least until we find Tyran.”
I shook my head, and Duncan furrowed his brow. “She needs him. Ours won’t be the only announcement tonight.”
Duncan groaned. “Fuck.”
Sal, Cian, and Mac arrived first. Jeffrey was also having dinner with us. He was part of my family. I would call my parents and my sisters tomorrow. Which included Henley. She could tell my brother. He wouldn’t believe me anyway until a doctor confirmed it.
“Maddie, wait!” Caity called out as Maddie stormed in without knocking. It didn’t bother me. I had made it clear we had an open-door policy. I loved having family around.
“Did you know?” Maddie asked when she stormed up to Cian.
His panicked expression said he knew what she was asking.
“Maddie—”
“Did. You. Know?” she asked again, a tear escaping down her cheek.
I hurried over to Maddie. “Know what, sweetie?”
“That he was my father!”
Cian closed his eyes and dropped his head.
“You knew!” She looked around the room. “You all knew!”
“Maddie, honey.”
“No, Uncle Sal. Someone should have told me!”
“I didn’t know, Maddie. Not for sure.”
Maddie whipped around to face her mother. “But you suspected?”
