“Oh, holy hell.”
We both turned to look at Grace who was standing next to Noah, gripping his arm for dear life.
Taylor quickly walked up to Grace. “What’s wrong?”
“Contraction. Strong one.”
Noah’s face dropped. “What?”
“Mom!” Colt called out as Ellie turned quickly to look at him. “Lauren’s water just broke!”
“Wait! Why are they going into labor? I’m due first!” Alex yelled out.
Taylor and I looked at each other and laughed.
Leaning her body against me, Taylor giggled, “We’re totally going to have the best wedding story out of everyone.”
We stood there as everyone began scattering around. Jeff and Ari were helping Noah get Grace while Ellie, Gunner, Scott, and Jessie were all surrounding Lauren.
Alex huffed, going on and on about how unfair it was and for Will to get her something spicy.
Taylor spun around and flashed me the biggest most beautiful smile I’d ever seen.
“Best day ever! We’re married and babies are coming!” she exclaimed.
“I have a feeling this is just the start of even more best days.”
Her eyes turned dark as she lifted her brows. “And more babies.”
The happiness inside of me, I swear, was about to burst as I looked into the eyes of the woman I had loved for so long.
Pulling her to me, I slipped my hand behind her neck and brought her lips up to mine. “Lots of babies if I can help it.”
The End.
Taylor
One Year Later
Jase walked up next to me and handed me iced tea. Bella was sound asleep at my feet, trying her best to ignore Annie playing in the front yard.
“Oh gosh, thank you. It’s so hot out here and our little girl does not want to come in.”
Jase grinned that crooked smile as he gazed out into the front yard.
“She’s stubborn. Like her mother.”
Rolling my eyes, I replied, “Hardly. She’s exactly like you. Look at her. She’s so excited she can’t sit still.”
With a chuckle, Jase stepped off the porch and reached down for our four-month old german shorthair pointer. “Don’t listen to her, Annie. You can sit still, can’t you, girl?”
Annie licked Jase’s face while he laughed. “She’s gonna make the best bird dog ever. Isn’t she? Yes, she is.”
I tried like hell to keep from laughing, but failed.
“What? She is! Once she is trained.”
“Where are you going to find time to train her? You’re so busy now.”
