Taggart Family Values Quotes

“And they’re marrying Americans. Now that Damon has a boy I have to worry about foreigners,” Ian pronounced. “I’m instituting an arranged marriage thing in our family. Americans only. No Brits and dear god, no Canadians allowed.” She groaned. He was so obnoxious. “Just because you don’t like their bacon doesn’t mean Canadians can’t make good partners.”

“Is this why Kala threw dirt at the second grade boys?” That had been a fun call, and all Kala had been willing to say was she didn’t like those boys. It had gotten her detention. For his kindergartener. “They made fun of her accent and she cried, and no one makes my sister cry but me,” Kala announced.”

“He looked down at his daughter. “Do not move.” Kala had obviously gotten to Seth because he quieted down. Kenzie was crying. “I don’t want to starve.” “I’m not going to let you starve.” But she might grow up here. He would make it comfortable for her. He could put in a cot, and she would have lots of company because Hutch used this sucker three times a day.”

“Then there was the drawing of a kid being hit by lightning. He was pretty sure it was a kid named Henderson and the artist was his little psycho, Kala. In her kindergarten class they kept a jar of marbles that they earned through being good. When the jar was full, they would get a pizza party. The teacher was mean—something she would need to be in order to survive Kala—and she took one out when one of the kids fucked up. Henderson apparently fucked up a lot, and Kala took exception.”

“Do you think they can tell?” Charlie asked when the doctor left. “Yes,” Ian replied. “They can tell you’re pregnant, baby. They are really good doctors and they know a pregnant lady when they see one.” She’d lost her damn mind, but he was going to be supportive. Her eyes rolled and she shook her head as she maneuvered her way to sitting on the hospital bed. “No. I’m talking about sex. Do you think they can tell that we had sex?” He gave her belly a pointed stare. “Yeah.” She sighed.”

“Then there was that first mission we sent Jesse on at the strip club.” Ian cleared his throat. He was pretty sure Jesse had slept with about ten of those strippers, but that had all been before Phoebe. Alex shook his head. “JoJo, Eboni, and Misty Rose weren’t his partners. Simon was. Si swears up and down they’ve never cuddled. Not once.”

“It could be their new slogan. McKay-Taggart: We Don’t Keep It In Our Pants. Oh, well, there was one he could think of. “Alex and I went undercover once and we did not sleep together.” Alex shrugged. “He tried but I wanted someone a little more tender.”

“Cooper. Who would one day likely turn that innocent gaze of his on Ian’s daughters. “You tell your boy to keep his hands to himself.” Alex groaned. “Oh god. I hadn’t even thought about that. You’re going to be that dad. You know the one who thinks his girls are perfect angels and all the boys around them are the devil? Can we wait until they’re born before you accuse Coop of trying something with them?” Ian kind of thought Cooper eyed Charlie’s baby bump as though he knew something good was going to come out of there. “You’re wrong. I know my girls won’t be angels, and that’s why I intend to keep an eye on them at all times. And they’re going to look like Charlie so they’ll be gorgeous. No doubt about it. Those girls are going to be trouble.”

“I think you’re going to look good in the pink sling Eve bought you.” “Oh, that was so not Eve, asshole.” The baby shower had been a revelation. So much fucking pink. Alex gave him a shit-eating grin. “I laughed the whole time I was buying it. I tried to find a place that would bedazzle the fucker, but Eve wouldn’t let me.” Ian stood. “You know what, I’m going to make that shit manly. You think I won’t wear a pink sling? I will rock that motherfucker.”
