Everything's fine."
"Except that Cecily's pregnant," Matt Holden offered, grinning at Tate's exasperated glare and Leta's shocked gasp.
"What do you mean, Cecily's pregnant?" Leta burst out. She hit her son's arm with her open hand. She hit him again. "You hooligan, how could you! How you?"
Tate defended himself with both arms. "How do you know it was me?" he teased.
"Who else could it be?" Leta raged. "Do you think my baby would let another man touch her? Would she jump into bed with any other man in the world except you? Are you crazy?"
Tate actually looked sheepish, and there was a new light in his eyes. Matt, after contemplating the two of them for a minute, sauntered off into the general direction of the kitchen, leaving mother and son alone together for the first time since the tempest had started.
Tate stuck his hands into his pockets and stared down at his pretty little mother. "If you haven't finished hitting me, I think there's a spot or two you missed," he pointed out, touching his arm and grimacing.
