nodded, his eyes closed, and snuggled against Nevvie. He pulled Tom’s arm around him. “It was bloody wonderful and you damn well know it.”
    “What’d you do?”
    “Played with his balls.”
    “No, he licked them.”
    Nevvie giggled. “You play dirty, Tommy.”
    He winked. “I know how to motivate him.”

    The next morning they gathered around Thomas in the driveway after he wheeled the bike out of the garage. He hugged and kissed Peggy and the baby, then Nevvie, and then Ty.
    Peggy looked worried. “Tommy, I wish you’d drive your truck. I don’t like you riding that bike.”
    “It’s okay, Momma.” He turned to Tyler. “I’ll call when I get checked in tonight.”
    “You do that, love,” Ty said. “Be careful. Stay safe. Come back to us.” Then he patted him on the ass and all three smiled. It was their good luck ritual before either man had to leave on a trip, and so far had not failed them.
    Nevvie leaned in for one last kiss before Tommy slipped his helmet on. “I love you.”
    “I love you too, sugar.” He smiled. “Keep our boy safe for me.” Yet another old ritual between them, “our boy” referring to Tyler, not Adam.
    They watched as Tommy cranked the bike. Then he waved as he pulled out of the driveway.
    “I wish you two would make him sell that thing,” Peggy groused.
    Nevvie took Adam from her. “It’s okay. He’s safe on it. He’ll be fine.”

    That night, Tyler and Nevvie curled together and fell asleep after talking to Thomas on the phone. Nevvie suspected Tyler still didn’t feel well from the way he’d been acting, although he hadn’t said anything. The next morning, Nevvie stood in the kitchen and thumbed through the newspaper while the coffee brewed. Adam and Tyler were both still asleep. She heard the shower in the guest bathroom and knew Peggy, normally an early riser, was up and about.
    She poured herself a mug of coffee when it finished brewing. A few minutes later, Peggy appeared, ready for her day.
    “Mornin', sugar,” the older woman said. “How’d you sleep?”
    “Like a rock! Did the baby even wake up last night?”
    “If he did, he didn’t fuss. That means he’ll wake up screaming for breakfast.”
    “Like the other men in this house,” Nevvie said with a smile.
    Peggy laughed. “Tommy could eat his weight in groceries when he was growing up. I had to shop for the girls and then shop for him. I swear he had hollow legs.”
    “I can believe it.” Adam’s keening cry from the bedroom drew her attention. “Ah, perfect timing.”
    “I’ll go change him if you want to fix his breakfast,” Peggy offered.
    “Thanks, Mom.” Peggy disappeared down the hall while Nevvie got it ready.
    By the time Nevvie had Adam’s breakfast ready, Peggy reappeared with him. “Here’s the hungry guy.”
    Nevvie took him and fed him, watching his blue eyes while he ate. It wouldn’t be long before he was eating solid food. He looked more like Tyler every day, the spitting image of him. Speaking of…
    She glanced at the clock. It was nearly seven-thirty and Ty hadn’t emerged yet. Very odd .
    As if sensing her thoughts, Peggy spoke. “Is Tyler feeling all right this morning? He’s been acting a little off lately.”
    “I was just wondering that myself. He hasn’t felt good the past couple of days. Then again, with all that crap, none of us did. Maybe he’s coming down with something. I’ll check on him when this one’s done chowing down.”
    Twenty minutes later, Ty still hadn’t appeared. Nevvie handed Adam to his grandmother. “I’ll go check on sleeping beauty, see how he is.”
    Nevvie walked to their bedroom and found Tyler in the shower, where she quickly joined him. “Good morning, handsome.” She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him.
    He offered her a half-hearted smile. “Good morning, sweetheart.” His color looked bad. “I’m sorry I slept so late.”
    “I think I need to make
