“Oh, that’s so sweet, Win,” Meg said, dabbing her eyes.
“There’s more,” said Winnie. She looked down again. “P.S. This is the best family in the whole world and Cloverleigh Farms is like a place under a magic spell, but a good spell not an evil spell, except for when the lights went out. But Millie said maybe you just wanted a dramatic entrance.” She looked up, shuffling her feet. “That’s the end.”
“I love it!” Meg opened her arms and Winnie flew into them for a hug. “Everything you said is true—Cloverleigh Farms is magical, Fletcher definitely wanted a dramatic entrance, and this family is absolutely the best in the whole world.”
“When I grow up, I want to stay right here,” Winnie announced, looking from Meg to Frannie to me. “Just like you guys did. So I need to fall in love with someone who lives close by.”
“Don’t you think you should finish second grade first?” asked Frannie wryly.
Winnie shrugged. “I guess. But there is a cute boy in the grade ahead of me. I’d marry him. But I’m not having any babies.”
“Why not?” Meg asked.
“Because I heard the way you screamed to get him out.” Shuddering, she shook her head. “Also, I know what you have to do to get one. I will never,” she said seriously.
“What do you mean?” Meg glanced at Frannie.
“My sister Felicity told me about it! I thought she was making it up, but turns out, she wasn’t. I’m not letting any boy get near me with his thing.” She wriggled like she had cooties and made a disgusted face. “Gross!”
The adults in the room laughed. “That’s probably the best plan for now,” said Meg. “But maybe when you’re grown, you’ll change your mind.”
I stood up so Winnie could sit down in the rocker. “Want to hold him?”
“Yes,” she said, shoving the letter back in her pocket and scrambling onto the chair.
I carefully placed Fletcher in her arms, and she smiled down at him, her feet swinging. “He’s so cute.”
“Isn’t he?” Meg sighed, looking pleased but exhausted. It still blew my mind, what she’d gone through last night, her bravery, her strength, her trust in me.
Frannie moved closer to Winnie and the baby, so I went over and sat beside my wife, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “You doing okay?”
“Just tired,” she said, tipping her head against my chest. “But happy. Maybe it didn’t go down exactly as planned, but he’s here, he’s perfect, and he’s the start of our little branch of the family.”
I pressed my lips to her head as my throat grew tight. “I love you, Sawyer.”
Her laughter was soft but joyful. “I love you too.”

TREVOR STAFFORD, AKA A MAN WITH AS MUCH CHRISTMAS SPIRIT AS A HOLEY SOCK
If a man’s home is his castle, mine has apparently been turned into gingerbread.
And I hate gingerbread.
I stifle a snarl, but I can’t stop my face from having a reaction of its own as the smell and the sounds hit me.
Christmas cookies. Christmas music. Christmas candles. Christmas towels? All over my modern kitchen. What the hell?
Right.
Meg is what the hell.
Meg O’Connell. My college best friend’s dark-haired, blue-eyed little sister. A bundle of starlight perpetually wrapped in red clothing. North Pole Elf in a previous life. And my currently-outstaying-her-welcome temporary housemate who’s shaking her hips along to that annoying Mariah Carey Christmas song while wrapped in an apron covered with reindeer and flour, rolling out cookie dough on the black granite countertop of my kitchen island.
And of course she notices that I’m home. And not in control of my face.
“Hi, Trevor! How was physical therapy? Should I get your—oh. Um, hi. Everything okay?”
