Something About Lorelei(82)

“Since when? What happened to Jace?”

“Where have you been, Jack? Jace was yesterday’s boyfriend. Graham is today’s.” She laughed.#p#分页标题#e#

“Why haven’t I met this boy yet?”

“In due time, darling.”

“You know I don’t like Hope dating all these boys. It makes me nervous.”

“Well, you better get over it now because you still have to go through it with your other two daughters.”

I sighed. “I’ll never get used to it, Lorelei.”

And this was my life. Am I complaining? Hell no. I loved my girls more than life itself. Lorelei’s line of clothing took off and had expanded from women’s and girls’ to a clothing line for boys and babies. Her career quickly took off and I was so proud of her. The magazine portion of the company was still on top and I was proud to say that I’d had the same PA since I replaced Lorelei.

Ten years ago, I never would have imagined myself being a happily married man to the woman of my dreams and the father to three incredibly beautiful daughters, all whom look exactly like their mother. Hope was now seventeen, Lexi was eight, and Alyssa was six. Our perfect family of five was complete.

The day Lorelei Flynn spilled coffee on me at Starbucks was the day that changed my life forever. A day that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.

I walked into the kitchen, where Lorelei was cooking dinner with Madeline. Lexi and Alyssa came running in, fighting with each other.

“You’re stupid!” Lexi said to Alyssa.

“You’re stupid!” Alyssa replied.

“Girls, nobody is stupid and that’s not nice.”

They both ran around me, trying to get at each other. Hope walked in and got into the mix by chasing the other two girls around the kitchen and then asked Lorelei if she could get on birth control. I almost had a heart attack. Between the younger girls running around screaming and Hope wanting to get on birth control, Lorelei sensed my stress level rising through the roof. She walked over, wrapped her loving arms around me, and sighed.

“I’m pregnant again, Jack.”

I smiled as I held her.

And there you have it. My crazy perfect family of five was going to turn into a crazy perfect family of six. On the bright side, maybe this one would be a boy.
