was rather impressed with Callum. Eva was actually applying herself as she never had before. He watched as Eva tried to dunk Callum to get to the ball before he could. Callum twisted away so Eva went under the water, but Callum pulled her up. For a second, the two seemed frozen in each other’s arms. But then Eva splashed water at Callum and called for a foul, and appealed to Alexandra to come in on her side, claiming they should get an extra point just because. Callum started to explain how that math didn’t add up, and Antonio could see a water war about to break out.
    Shaking his head, he turned from the window.
    Claire came out of the bathroom, a towel wrapped around her damp hair. “Are the kids all playing nicely.”
    Antonio smiled and wrapped an arm around her waist. “They are. And Dareios is the worst babysitter ever.” A splash and a shriek rose up to their room. “I think that is the girls getting their just punishment for cheating at the game.”
    Claire grinned. She dropped the towel and held out a small strip. “I have a surprise for you.”
    Antonio glanced at the strip. “Is the color supposed to mean something?”
    “Yes. It means no champagne for me at Alexandra’s wedding!” He stared at her. She batted at his hand. “Silly, I thought Eva was the only one who had trouble adding things up.”
    “You’re...?”
    “I am.” She grinned. “There’s going to be a little Antonio or Antoinette around soon.”
    Grinning, Antonio swept her up in his arms. “That’s it. Back into bed for you.”
    She laughed. “For the next eight months? I don’t think so.”
    He plopped her down on the bed and stretched out next to her. “We have to tell the others. I’ll go grab—”
    “No wait.” She caught his arm. “Let’s keep this our secret. I don’t want to overshadow Alexandra’s wedding. And when Gaia gets back from helping her daughter have a baby, she can look after me. Deal?”
    He kissed the tip of her nose. “Only if you promise me to see a doctor this week. I am taking no chances with my precious wife.”
    Claire shook her head, but she wrapped her arm around his neck. “I knew telling you about this was going to bring out the overbearing side of you. You know, Eva swears you are worse than your father sometimes.”
    He pulled a face and shook his head. “No one was as bad as Matthias.” Brushing a strand of hair from Claire’s face, he admitted, “I worry sometimes…for Eva. Alexandra has Dareios now…and for a time that worried me. But Dareios really seems ready to settle down.”
    “But Eva…I know, she’s the baby of the family and she probably hates that. Antonio, you have to let her grow up, you know. She’s able to make her own way. And I think…I think Callum is good for her for a lot of reasons.”
    Antonio stared at his wife, his eyes narrowed. “You don’t think…they’re…?”
    “What? And no I don’t think, but would that be so terrible.”
    “He’s a penniless American!”
    Claire laughed. “I wasn’t much more when you fell in love with me! But before you get ready to get your shotgun and go out there, demanding to know, I think Callum is good for Eva because he challenges her. And he’s the only guy I’ve ever seen not melt under that lost puppy look she can give a guy—and, yes, that includes you.”
    Antonio stiffened for a moment, but he couldn’t hold his anger. Not in his wife’s arms. He relaxed next to her. “You think I need to give her more room to grow up—make her own mistakes?”
    “Yes. You can be close. Help if she asks for it. But you’re soon going to have a baby to worry about. Meaning it’s time for Eva to stop being the baby.”
    He ran a hand down her side and rested her palm on her stomach. “I look forward to that.”
    “Good.” She tightened her hold on him. “Now come and prove that you still love your wife who is about to become very fat.”
