The elder Eseras had managed to gather the entire gang for this family dinner. Which meant Catie ended up being jumped on by her big sister and cuddled to within an inch of her life.
Grinning so hard that her face ached, Catie said, âItâs only been a week since you last saw me, Issie,â but she didnât mind the affection. At all. Her sisterâs arms were the most familiar anchor in her life.
After Ãsa had satisfied herself that Catie was still in one piece, Catie found herself being wrapped up in Sailorâs strong arms. Yeah, okay, she still had a little bit of a crush on her brother-in-lawâin a strictly platonic way. He was the epitome of a protective big brother in how he treated her; Catie let him get away with it because heâd earned the right over years of love and care and steadfast support of her dreams.
Sailor had driven her to countless out-of-town meets over the years, been so openly proud of her at them that people who didnât know who he was had assumed he must be her brother rather than her brother-in-law.
It was some five minutes later, after more hugs from various members of the clan, that Catie was able to make her way to the corner armchair where Charlotte sat, nursing her newborn. Seraphina Pippa Bishop was her and Gabeâs first child and the newest member of the clan.
âCatie.â Charlotteâs smile was as sweet as always as she reached up an arm to hug Catie even as she cradled Seraphina with the other. When her spectacles slid down her nose, Catie nudged them back up with a finger.
âLook at her.â Catie touched one plump baby cheek just as the baby unlatched and smiled a gummy smile at her. âDonât tell me thatâs gas. I want to pretend sheâs smiling at me.â
Laughing, Charlotte burped the baby, then handed her over to Catie to cuddle. The first time one of the family had handed her a baby, Catie had been sure she was about to pass out from terror. They were so tiny and fragile, babies. But she was an old hand at it now, had even once babysat the whole brood in tandem with Danny.
Theyâd fed Emmaline, Esme, and Connor, plus two other small members of the wider clan, far too much sugar and takeout, watched cartoons on repeat, and had a grand old time. The kids begged to be babysat by them again, so Catie figured she was doing a good job on the auntie front.
âWhereâs Gabe?â Catie hadnât spotted the eldest Bishop brother.
âWe somehow forgot Sephieâs diaper bagâheâs gone back to grab it.â Charlotte laughed, her entire face aglow with love. âHeâs also planning on making a ten-step checklist for leaving the house with a baby.â
âHa! I can just see him doing that.â Gabriel Bishop didnât own half the city by accident.
While Charlotte took the opportunity to pop off to the bathroom, Catie carried Seraphina over to Danny. âLook, sheâs smiling at me.
