She nodded. “Of course you do. I can stay with my mom for a while if that’ll make things easier.”
He shook his head. “You belong at home with me and Brady. I want you and the baby with us.”
She nodded as she finished washing herself. “If that needs to change, all you have to do is tell me. Because I want this to be okay for Brady, too.”
He sighed. “I really love you, Fi.”
“Right back at you.” She kissed him. “Now, let’s grab towels and snuggle up for a while. We’ll set an alarm on one of our phones so we don’t have any issues.”
He kissed her as he shut off the water. “Are you tired?”
She shook her head, grabbing her towel and another for Cam. “Only a little.”
He dried off his stomach. “Then you probably don’t need to bother with pajamas yet. Or the alarm.”
She grinned as she wrapped herself in the soft cotton, opening the door to the bedroom. “I see you’re still insatiable.”
He shrugged, sending her towel to the floor. “What can I say? You turn me on, mama.”
Cam grinned as the car he and Brady rode in made it to the top of the massive Ferris wheel. They had given the occasional ride at the regional amusement parks and Vermont State Fair a shot, but this was next-level.
“Wow!” Brady beamed from his seat on the metal bench. “We’re in the sky, Dad!”
He chuckled, loving his son’s excitement. They had started their day at the zoo per Brady’s request. They had ridden on another scooter-share, with helmets this time, which allowed them to go much faster, but this would be the adventure he would talk about. “You’ve been in the sky quite a few times over the past couple of days: the plane ride, Fi’s house, and now the Ferris wheel.”
Brady nodded his enthusiasm. “I love it!”
Cam grinned. “I’m glad you do. Because I think we can see most of Seattle from up here.”
Brady stood on his knees, pressing his face closer to the tinted glass surrounding them. “Maybe Fiona’s house is in one of the buildings over there.”
“It definitely is. Unfortunately, I’m not exactly sure which one. Maybe that one with the blue top.”
“Wow!” Brady said again. “We have to tell Fiona we can see her house!”
“When we see her tonight, we will.”
“Because she’s at work, making the wedding for the governor’s daughter?”
Cam nodded. “The governor’s daughter is getting married tomorrow afternoon.”
“The governor’s daughter has lots of pretty flowers. And she has a big cake.”
He smiled. “That sounds like a fancy day.”
Brady nodded. “Yup.”
They made it closer to the bottom when the ride stopped to let passengers on and off.
Brady sat back on his butt on the bench.
Cam cleared his throat, knowing that this was his moment. He’d been waiting for the perfect opportunity to talk to his son all day. “Since we’re not up in the sky right now, I want us to chat about a couple of things.”
“Okay.”
Cam exhaled a quiet breath, surprised to suddenly feel nervous. Big changes were coming Brady’s way—all of their way. He needed it to be okay for all of them but mostly for his son.
He and Fi had told their parents about the baby early this morning. Everyone was ecstatic. Now, it was time to start preparing his little boy for the onslaught of upcoming surprises. “It’s pretty nice seeing Fiona again.”
