#Chapter 397 – A New Home Ella

A few days later, after Sinclair and I have had some time to dwell and consult and decide, we invite Roger and Cora over to our little house early one morning. We’re both standing out front waiting for them, Rafe all dressed up in blue and white in my arms.

This kid has an amazing wardrobe already, but of course he wasn’t able to wear it – and heartbreakingly grew out of some of it during our time away in the bunker.

“He’s getting really big,” I murmur to Sinclair, shifting my baby higher in my arm. “Theyouin him is starting to come out.”

Sinclair grins and looks down at the baby. “He’ll be six feet in no time. My little linebacker.” “Better not be,” I grumble, but I’m unable to help from smiling down at my little cutie. “He needs to stay my little beachball baby for awhile yet. At least another sixteen years. ” “Don’t count on it,” Sinclair sighs. “I got my growth spurt early. He’ll be taller than you by fourth grade.” “No,” I gasp, spinning to look up at him in horror. My mate just shrugs, laughing at me and implying that it’s inevitable, but then he lifts his chin towards the driveway where Roger’s car is pulling in.

I can hear Roger and Sinclair following behind us. “I see that you’ve kept the stair lift,” Cora murmurs, laughing a little. “Well, that’s useful for Henry,” I say as we reach the top of the steps, tossing a grin over my shoulder. “Plus, very fun.” Then I pull her into the bedroom, which has likewise been totally redone in a thousand shades of white, beige, and blush.
