Roland chuckled. “I was thinking of Protection, Inc: Defenders.”
“Good name,” said Hal. To his team and their mates, he said, “Want to wish them luck?”
Everyone called out their congratulations and good luck wishes. Catalina’s voice rose above the rest. “Hope you get a flying kitten, Merlin! Hope you get two!”
Hal put his phone back in his pocket and went to put his arm around Ellie. By then Ethan was holding Elliot, who was asleep and drooling on his shirt, and Destiny was holding Haley, who watched the party with a surprisingly intent expression in her hazel eyes.
Lucas, elegant in his tailored suit and gold chains, took a hasty step back to avoid getting splashed with the bottle of barbecue sauce Nick was brandishing at Rafa, while Rafa used his longer arms to reach around Nick and douse the chicken wings with his preferred sauce. Journey and Raluca were sharing a plate of traditional Brandusan pastries that Journey had baked. As Journey gestured expansively with an apricot tart in her hand, Doina dove from the air and snatched it from her fingers.
Shane and Justin were talking quietly, with Shadow lying in wait on Shane’s shoulder and Trio dozing at Justin’s feet. Behind their backs, Fiona was s
tealthily setting up a small robot dog, though Destiny suspected that Catalina and Grace’s snickers had probably given the game away.
“Take a good look, Haley,” Destiny said. “It’s your family.”
Elliot woke up, but didn’t cry. Instead, he too gazed out at them all with the same intent look in his sea-colored eyes.
“And yours,” Ethan said to the baby boy. Without changing his solemn expression, Elliot blew a bubble.
“Okay, jarhead,” Destiny said. “Now I want twins too. So they better run in the family.”
“I’ll do my best,” Ethan promised.
Yes, purred her tiger. We will have a fine pair of cubs nine months from now.
Do you know something I don’t? Destiny asked, excited and hopeful. They’d been trying, but she hadn’t expected it to be this soon.
Ethan nudged her and whispered, “Hey, my tiger just said—”
“Mine too,” Destiny whispered back. “Do you think they really do know?”
Her tiger purred, Wait and see.

Did you like Destiny’s story about the Indian king Shivaji and his escape in the fruit baskets? It’s a true story! If you want to read more of his amazing adventures, like the time he captured a fort with the help of trained lizards, look up Shivaji Bhosle. (Yes, I’m a history nerd too.)
