Be Still My Vampire (26 page)

“None of the Vamps here are evil. We—” She noticedConstantine rising once again and pushed him down. “We want to make the world safe, not only for us, but for all mankind.”

“Ye should let us do our job,” Angus added. “Stop interfering with us when we’re trying to protect you.”

Sean sighed. “I’ll think about it.” He turned to Connor. “I’d like to talk to my daughter.”

Connor nodded. “This way.” He led Sean out the door.

Emma sighed with relief.

Angus smiled. “That was a good speech, though I was surprised to see ye floating about with the bairn.”

“I wasn’t taking him up. I was bringing him down.” Emma let go ofConstantine . He squealed and started to levitate.

“Good God.” Angus strode forward.

“I know.” Emma watched as the baby rose to the ceiling. “I let Sean think it was me. I didn’t think he could handle this.”

Angus wrapped an arm around her shoulder. “We’re making progress with him.”

“I hope so.” Emma linked her hands around Angus’s neck. “Have I told you recently that you’re the most amazing man in the world, and I love you to distraction?”

He grinned. “The only amazing thing about me is that I found the most amazing woman to love.”

Emma touched his cheek. “And it only took about five hundred years.”

As they kissed, Constantine lowered gently into his crib, an angelic smile on his face.
