kitchen actually matched and other small things like
that. Of course she always asked Ace before she did anything, afraid of
overstepping, but she should know by now that he couldn’t deny her anything. I
knew from the little box he’d been toting around with him the last month, that
it wouldn’t be long before he had that ring on her finger and gave her free
reign over the house.
    I really
needed to start looking for a place of my own. Danny had moved out over the
summer to take on New York with his photography business, and even Spade had
packed up and got himself a penthouse bachelor pad down on the water. He’d
already extended an invite for me to move in with him. At the time it was
easier to stay put at Ace’s since I spent most of my time at Katrina’s anyway,
but if the lovebirds were about to get engaged, they’d probably prefer having
the place to themselves.
    “You figured
out when you’re going to pop the question yet?” I asked him, grabbing my own
mug out of the cupboard and waiting for the machine to spit out the hot, rich
brew.
    “Not yet,
man. I thought I would do it tonight, you know as soon as we got back from the
tour and I saw her, but of course Ky’s kid would have to upstage me by making
his grand entrance into the world early. I figure I’ll let the little man have
his show, and when that excitement’s faded a little, I’ll ask her.” He filled
his cup and then moved out of the way so I could get to the machine.
    “You decide
how you’re going to do it yet?” I raised my now steaming mug and took the first
sip of caffeinated bliss. I needed to remember to thank Sadie, for like the hundredth
time, for convincing him to get this machine and for finding the local roaster
who was enabling our coffee addiction in this house.
    “Nah, I’ll
wing it,” he said nonchalantly.
    “You’re
going to wing your proposal?” My brow lifted.
    “Yeah, when
the moment feels right, I’ll do it. It’s not like I can ask her on stage at a
concert since Ky already did that. Besides, I don’t think Sadie would want that
anyway. For Jax it was right. She needed Ky to make that declaration in front
of the whole world, to publically claim her and make it clear to everyone that
he belonged to her.”
    “Yeah, I get
that.” Ky and Jax were still somewhat of a shock. It’d been almost three years
now, but it still seemed like a miracle that they made it through everything
they did and got to this point. “Whatever you do, I’m sure she’ll say yes. Now,
we better get our asses to the hospital. I want to meet my nephew.”
    Ace didn’t
argue, and seemed equally excited about getting there to see Jax and the baby,
whose name we still didn’t know. They’d been keeping it hush. I think there was
some disagreement between them about what his name would be. I just hoped Jax
wasn’t trying to convince Ky to go with some new age, artsy, hipster name, like
Kale or Lotus. Ky was so in love with her that he’d probably let her get away
with that shit.
    It was a
good feeling for a change to be able to walk into the hospital and ask for
directions to the maternity ward instead of the emergency room or ICU. There’d
been too many of those kind of visits to the hospital.
     When we got
to the waiting area, we found most of the gang assembled there. Spade was the
only absent one, which wasn’t surprising. He’d show eventually. I was surprised
to see Mia sitting next to her sister. I don’t know why since I’d heard she moved
to Boston over the summer while we were on tour, and that she would be starting
at BU in the next couple weeks. I guess I just hadn’t expected it. She caught
me off guard, and with her that was never a good thing. In the past, she hadn’t
been the most subtle about her crush on me.
     I hadn’t
seen her since we all flew out to Seattle for Sadie’s birthday during the
spring, but I’d thought about her a few times. Something about that girl had
struck a chord with me since the
