Black Rainbow (Rainbows 1)

What, those? Those were her hints?

“I thought you were researching an infancy related case.”

“Who thinks that?” She shook her head and threw her arms up into the air.

“I don’t know, lawyers?”

“And the baby themed food I made last night?”

That was weird.

“Or the fact that I spelled out the word twice each time we played Scrabble? The bun I put in the actual oven! You missed it all? Some master thinker you are!” She snorted.

She wasn’t even angry, she was just laughing at my oblivion, and at this point, so was I.

“Our course load at work has tripled in the last three years. This month has been crazy, honestly, I didn’t notice.”

Again, she crossed her arms at me, turning around. Hugging her from behind, I kissed the back of her head. “I’m sorry. But with stuff like that, just say it… like now, say the words.”

“Levi, I’m pregnant,” she huffed, melodramatically.

“And I’m happy,” I whispered, tu

gging off her towel and kissing her soft smooth skin. She leaned against me as my hands traveled down the side of her…

“Levi, we need to get ready, everyone will be here in a few—”

The doorbell rang and I sighed.

“Later,” she promised as she kissed my lips. “Or maybe not, because you’ve ruined my hair.”

She put a towel to it when the doorbell rang again.

“I’ll go, take your time,” I told her. I was already fully dressed and she was still wrapped in her towel, working on her hair. Some things never changed with her, and I liked it.

“Thank you!” she called out from the closet, as I made my way to the front.

The second I opened the door, my legs were attacked.

“Uncle Lee!” Bellamy giggled, looking up at me.

“Princess Bellamy!” I picked her up. “How is the little princess?”

“Mad Mommy and Daddy took my princess wand.” She pointed to them in the doorway, waiting for me get them.

“The horror!” I gasped at them. “Taking a princess’ wand, how could you?”

“Yeah! How could you!” she yelled with me.

I was trying hard not laugh at the bored look on their faces as I let them in.

“When Princess Bellamy decides to hit everyone else in daycare with her Princess wand, Queen Mommy gets to take it away,” Bethan said, taking of her jacket.

“Hey, you didn’t give me the whole story there, kiddo.” I looked to Bellamy as she hid her face in my neck.

“Not princess?” she pouted.

“Princesses don’t hit people.”
