    Chapter One Hundred-Four
    
    A week later, Mac and Grace headed back to New York. It had been a grueling week, working long hours. But they were able to get things to a point where their presence was no longer needed in L.A.
    
    Grace called Brendan, their traveling consultant in Europe, and asked him to help oversee the transition into the new building. Of course, she made sure to let Dani know that Brendan was there to support her, not to take charge.
    
    On the plane ride home, Grace napped, dashing Mac’s hopes of some naughty shenanigans in the air. But he knew this pregnancy was more challenging for her than the first one. So, he let her sleep, content to have her resting her head against his shoulder.
    
    A flashback of their first plane ride together, where she’d done the same thing, made him smile. How far they had come since then! It was wild to think he’d hired Grace as his escort only a few years before. His last escort, she liked to say. He very nearly missed out, screwing things up like a dolt. But even then, Grace was big on second chances. Without her generous heart, she wouldn’t be sitting here next to him as his wife, partner, and mother of his child. Well, children, actually, with the little one growing inside her. It was beyond anything he’d ever dreamed possible for his life.
    
    She sighed, still sleeping peacefully. He wondered if she was dreaming. He kissed the top of her head and allowed himself to doze a little.
    
    Randall ...
    ... was there to pick them up from the airport. He did his best not to give away the surprise that awaited them once they collected their luggage.
    
    “You brought the limo?” Mac asked curiously.
    
    Randall just nodded. Then he opened the door and watched Grace’s face light up when she saw Dominic, Addie, and DJ waiting in the limo for them. “Mama home!” DJ yelled, bubbling with joy at the sight of his mother.
    
    “Oh, my goodness! What a lovely homecoming!” Grace beamed. “You didn’t need to come to the airport, but I’m glad you did!” Scooping up DJ in her arms, she said, “Come here, my little man! Mama missed you!”
    
    Addie smiled. “It was DJ’s idea. When Randall said he was leaving to pick you up, your darling boy asked, ‘I go too?’ How could we say no to that sweet little request?”
    
    “Well, it was a fabulous idea!”
    
    Once they arrived home, Grace sent the suitcases upstairs with Sophie, the housekeeper. Recalling a time when she wouldn’t have given such a chore to the staff, she winced.
    
    Noticing her dismay, Mac kissed her cheek and said, “Cut yourself some slack, Grace. You’re pregnant, exhausted from travel, and you have visitors that require your time. I don’t mean that in a bad way. Sometimes, letting others help is a smart move; my very wise wife taught me that.”
    
    “You make some very compelling points,” she admitted.
    
    “You havetwo compelling points; I intend to see them get proper attention later. For now, let's gather in the media room and enjoy a lazy evening with ...
