Lorn glanced over at Heidi and with his own reluctant nod.  He had enjoyed the company and time with Karen and her own little ones.  He stood up after the baby was securely in his mother's arms.

"Yes, I should."  He agreed.  "But don't forget that you will need to arrange to have the twins stay with the nanny for you to come to the stables every couple of days for an hour or so learning to ride a horse."  He smiled.  Plus he hoped to see her around  the house and property from time to time.  Though he wasn't going to say that out loud for worry of being over the proper.  He enjoyed visiting with her.

He reached over and picked up his hat and put it on his head so he would have his hands and arms free to carry Heidi.  Reaching down gently he picked her up as a fragile doll and put her against his chest.  She wrapped her arms around her father's neck and laid right down her head to his shoulder still basically asleep. 

Lorn smiled at Karen and nodded.  "Thank you again for the dinner and company."  He headed toward the door.
