Bella blinked, her eyes widening.
"Oh, my goodness!"
The baby made another bubbly sound, looking thoroughly pleased with himself.
Bella couldn't stop smiling.
"Look at him! He's smiling at me!" she said, her voice filled with delight.
Jay immediately puffed out his chest, a proud grin on his face. "Obviously. The little man has excellent taste."
Jace looked at him, his expression flat. "He's smiling because Bella is holding him."
"Exactly. He knows his aunt is beautiful," Jay replied without missing a beat.
"Jay," Jace said, his tone warning.
"What? It's the truth!" Jay protested, his grin widening.
Bella blushed, laughing and the baby responded with another adorable little bubble.
She looked down at him, completely charmed.
"Oh, sweetheart, you're so cute!"
The little boy waved his tiny hands and grinned again, his light blue eyes sparkling as he watched Bella's face.
Bella glanced at Jay.
"He definitely got your personality!"
Jay looked delighted.
