�So Nate, what do you do?� He didn�t really know anything about Quinn�s brother; his daughter�s uncle.
�I�m an engineer with the city of Atlanta.� He gave him a puzzled look and Nate nodded. He was probably used to people needing an explanation.
�We study the city, its growth and all that and plan new roads, how wide they�ll be, how long, where they�ll go to keep down traffic problems basically.� He was impressed. Was there anyone in her family that wasn�t some overachiever. There had to be a drunk uncle or something. These people were too perfect. If MacKenzie turned out to be anything less than the first female President they would definitely blame his side of the family.
He began to wonder about his daughter. What if she didn�t turn out to be some genius like Quinn�s side of the family. It would definitely be his fault. What would be in her future? Would she even know him? What if Quinn and that asshole made her believe James was his father? That guy was light enough that they could get away with it. But the only way they couldn�t get away with it was if he wasn�t around. And he was going to make sure he was there for her. Na matter what that meant he had to do.
�Does my job bore you that much?� He snapped back to attention to see Nate staring at him.
�Oh no, I was just thinking about what MacKenzie will be when she grows up. You guys all seem to be like engineers or scientists and stuff like that.�
�It depends on which side of our family genes she gets stuck with.� He looked over at Quinn who was walking back into the living room laughing,
�If she gets any of our mother�s side of the family she�ll be fine. If she gets too much of our father�s family she�ll probably be a criminal.� He made a face and she sat down on the arm of the chair he was sitting in,
�My father�s family is from the south and they aren�t as successful professional-wise as my father. Let�s just say that.� She leaned down and stretched her upper body along the top of the chair. He glanced over at Nate who watched her get comfortable very close to him.
