no hint of any celebrity ego bullshit. By the time they were leaving, I could see that Dante and the rest of the guys felt much better about the whole thing.
Todd hugged the girls forever, and he had a hard time letting them go. They'd agreed to go to lunch with him and Flynn the following day, and we all felt very good about that. I could feel Dante's tension easing as he realized that the girls weren't going to be hurt.
When he'd finished hugging the twins, he crossed the room to talk to Dante, Damien and Spencer. "I just want you three to know how awe-inspiring you are. What you did for those girls blows my mind. They were so damn lucky to have you that I can't even put it into words. I can never thank you enough just for being there. You've done an amazing job. You raised two of the most amazing people I've ever met. I can't wait to get to know them. I promise you, I mean to be a positive part of their lives. I won't hurt my daughters."
They all thanked him for the compliment, and Dante responded for all three of them. "We love those girls, and it was us that were lucky to have them. We're very happy for them that they have the opportunity to expand their family. We're all hoping to see a lot more of you and Flynn. Our homes are open to you, any time."
Chapter Nine
Today was the day that Damien, Spencer and I would all be meeting our shared brother, Dillon. We were all keyed up and nervous as hell gathered in my office waiting for him to arrive. We’d chosen to do it there because my seating area was the most comfortable place in the building for us to have the conversation that was to come.
Sabrina had insisted on coming into work for the meeting. Brooke, Dominique and Delilah had forced their way in, too. The four of them were together in the outer office so that they could be there to support us after the meeting was over. I loved that my wife wouldn't leave me to deal with this alone. Every day in some way large or small, I am reminded of what I really got when she chose me.
The three of us were beyond anxious. What if Dillon didn't react well? There was a better than good chance that he'd resent our telling him where he'd come from, but in the end, we felt it was a choice that had to be made.
We all jumped when the intercom on my office phone rang. I noticed that my hand was a little shaky when I picked it up. "Is he here?"
"Hi baby. Yes, he's here. I'm sending him right in. I love you."
Even though I was jumpy, her declaration made my heart skip a beat. I was no prize, but somehow, I'd gotten the most amazing girl in the world to join her life with mine. "I love you too baby. So damn much."
When he stepped into the office, I could see the similarities to the three of us right away. I wondered if he could see them too. He was a perfect combination of all of our features. His hair color made the resemblance to Spencer the most obvious. His facial features reminded me a lot of Damien, while he and I shared a jaw line and a body type. It was overwhelming to see parts of the three of us staring back at me. If I'd have seen him in the street, with absolutely no knowledge of his existence, I'd have stopped short and wondered what seemed familiar about him.
As we'd previously agreed, Spencer stepped forward to speak first. It made the most sense, since he was the one that had made the appointment with Dillon.
"Dillon, I'm Spencer Cross. I'd like you to meet the Hart brothers. This is Dante, and this is Damien."
The three of us took turns shaking hands with him, a totally surreal experience. Cocking his head, he considered the three of us silently, but it was me that he looked at the most . I wondered if subconsciously he felt or suspected something.
Gesturing to the seating area in the overlook of my office, Spencer indicated that we should all head on over. My heart was beating double time, and I could tell that Damien and
