“Kylie thought hell would be announcing a snow day before she agreed with anything her mom said. But right now, Kylie wondered how many inches they were predicting.”

“Kylie bit down on her lip. Burnett took a step forward. He squared his shoulders, empathy filling his eyes. He took a deep, apparent heartfelt breath and looked at Kylie. She nodded at him as if giving him the lead. He looked back at Holiday and, in a deep voice, said, "Kylie has something to tell you."Kylie's mouth fell open and right then she knew it was official. Men sucked at verbal communication especially where anything emotional was concerned.”

“Did you want me to stay?"Kylie's yes and Lucas' no chimed out at the same time."Sorry," Lucas said, not sounding sorry as he looked at Della. "But I need Kylie's full attention to teach her, and you would just distract her.""Right," Della said in a tone of complete disbelief.Lucas frowned at the vamp."Okay," Della said. "I'll just mosey along.”

“This doesn't make sense.""I know," Kylie said. "And that seems to be the theme song of my life right now. Not a damn thing makes sense.”

“Sometimes this just happens,” Kylie said, much calmer now that she had a sneak preview of hiscomeuppance.“Just happens?” Burnett bellowed out. “Are you freaking kidding me! If you have sex, you useprotection. It’s that simple. This shit doesn’t have to happen! This is nothing but carelessness. It’sirresponsible. It’s unforgivable.”“Burnett!” Holiday rolled her eyes at Kylie and frowned. The fae knew exactly what Kylie was upto now.But Kylie wasn’t finished yet. “Maybe we should put a rule in place. Any male who impregnates agirl should be neutered.”“Enough,” Holiday snapped.“Actually, that’s not a bad plan!” he growled.“Burnett!” Holiday said in a stern voice. “Shut up before you embarrass yourself more than youalready have.” When the vampire looked at Holiday, she continued, “Kylie didn’t buy the pregnancytests for Miranda. She bought them for me.”Kylie flopped back against the seat again, enjoying the look of disbelief on the vampire’s face alittle too much. “Would you like a name of a good doctor who will schedule your little snip-snipoperation?” she bit out.”

“Oh, I brought you something." Her mom pulled a bag from her purse. "I know how you like T-shirts," she said.Kylie couldn't help but think, My mom went to England and all I got was a T-shirt, but she smiled and pulled it out of the bag and then chuckled when she read the script across the front: My mom went to England and all I got was this T-shirt."Perfect," Kylie said.”

“I missed you all my life,” Kylie said. “Ididn’t know I missed you, but I know it now. You were supposed to bethere.”
