CLARA'S POV
My heart ached when I heard that question from my daughter.
"Soon as I can," I said softly. "Are you having fun?"
"Oh yeah. It's really fun here in …" A large masculine hand over the microphone muffled the rest of her statement. She grinned. "Oops, I forgot I wasn't supposed to say where we are. Anyway …" she rolled her eyes toward Conn, "I'm having lots of fun but I miss you."
"I miss you, too. Aren't there any other kids around?"
She shook her head. "No."
"Really?" I wondered. Jane nodded in affirmation before looking quizzically around me.
Taki leaned down so he could be seen by Jane. "Hi, sweetheart."
"Hi." The little girl smiled, her eyes lighting up even more. "I met all your brothers 'cept for Kane cause he's across the ocean somewhere but I talked to him on the phone this morning, and they all said it was okay you're my dad now."
Taki grinned. "Thought they might."
