Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem

"They're Tarquin and my kids too. This is Baby, and this is Elijah. BabyElijah, say hi to your great-grandma."

The two little ones obediently greeted Tracey together,

"Hello, Great-grandma!"

Tracey was absolutely delighted.

"Oh my goodness, look at you two! Why are there two little ones? Elijah looks just like Elliot and Evan! And Baby's the spitting image of Elysia!"

Elysia laughed as she explained,

"Back then, both of them were taken away, so when Grandpa and Grandma found us, it was just me, Elliot, Evan, and Emmett."

"Elijah grew up with Tarquin, and Baby was raised by someone else..."

"Grandma, I'll fill you in on all the details about the kids later. For now, tell us about you and Grandpa."

"Why is it only you and Bernard back? Where are the other grandpas?"

"What happened last night? Why wasn't anyone home? There was always someone around before."

"And how did those hunters get so close without you knowing?"

Tracey let out a long breath and glanced at the hunters knocked out cold on the floor, frowning a little.
