he was acting just now, I think maybe he had a thing for her.”
    “Wait, what? You went on a date with Trinity?”
    Tyson filled him in on what had happened while Drake was on his honeymoon, but in the back of his head he worried about Mika. He hoped Mika wasn’t serious about his feelings for Trinity. Different breeds didn’t mix, and although there’d been cases of cross-breeding in the past, none of the ones Ty had heard about ended well.
    And the things he’d heard, Ty wouldn’t wish on anyone, especially his friend and clan mate.
    When Mika came back to the table, he was back to his normal self, and neither Drake nor Ty prodded him about it. They let it be… for now.
    “Well, I need to get back to my bride,” Drake said with a wide smile as he rose from the table. Married life obviously suited him. Of course, he’d known since he was fifteen that Mia was the one for him, so finally having her where she belonged after all of these years had to be a relief. “She texted and said she’s craving mint chocolate chip ice cream, so I’m off to the store.”
    “All right, brother,” Ty said, rising to give Drake a clap on the back. “See you at the office tomorrow.”
    “Yeah, time to get back to it,” Drake replied, then turned to Mika and asked, “You in tomorrow?”
    “I think I’m going to start the Moses case… go out and do some tracking,” Mika replied.
    “Sounds good, just check in and let me know if you need anything.”
    “Will do, boss.”
    They watched Drake walk away, then Ty turned to Mika and asked, “One more?”
    “You don’t need to get home to Jordan?”
    “Nah, she’s actually out with Trinity tonight.”
    At the mention of the petite blonde, Mika’s jaw clamped shut and he took his seat.
    After they ordered another round, Mika broke the silence and changed the subject.
    “So, have you talked to Jordan about the orphanage?”
    “Yeah,” Ty replied, leaning back with the grin of a satisfied man. “We’re heading down there this weekend. I talked to Mrs. Kline and got it all set up, so we’ll meet the kids and see what happens.”
    “Are you thinking you just want to adopt one at first?”
    Ty shrugged.
    “We agreed to see what happens. If we connect with one, more than one… I don’t know. I think we’ll feel it in the moment, you know?”
    “It’s a good thing,” Mika said, his hands wrapped around his glass, face serious. “Those kids deserve a good life, and no one deserves a family as much as you do. I’m happy for you.”
    Tyson looked at his friend and all traces of amusement left him.
    “Anything you need from me, Mika, doesn’t matter what or when… I’ll be there.”
    Mika nodded and threw back his drink.
    “Well, if I’m gonna get on the road early, I need to hit the hay soon.”
    They paid the bill and walked out together. Mika left with the promise to let Ty know when he got back to town, and Tyson headed to the home he now shared with Jordan, happy to have had a night out with the guys, but eager to get back to his mate.

Jordan
    H er hands were clasped in her lap and her eyes were wide as she took in the rambling plantation house that held the answer to all of her prayers.
    She and Ty could have children…
    It was hard not to feel like Jordan had wasted a lot of time being stubborn and not trying to find a way for her and Ty to be together, but they’d both agreed to only look forward, not back. Otherwise, they’d waste even more time with “what if’s.”
    Happier than ever, she was settled back into their home and at the Luncheonette.
    And now? Now they were ready to start the process of expanding their family and making their lives complete.
    Jordan couldn’t wait, but she couldn’t deny that she was nervous.
    What if they didn’t feel a connection with any of the kids? What if the kids didn’t like her? What if she and Ty couldn’t agree on what they wanted, or worse, what if Mr. and Mrs. Kline decided their home wasn’t fit for
