“I love you so much, Josh. ”
He smiled and kissed my lips gently before he rested his forehead on mine. “I love you more, princess. ”
I let out a giggle. “I love you more times infinity. ”
Chapter Fifty-One
I stood there next to Ari as she pushed again.
After nearly two hours, Dr. Johnson finally looked up and smiled. “One more good push, Ari, and I think we’ll have it. ”
“One more good push! That’s what you said on the last push, you bastard!”
Dr. Johnson laughed. “Come on, one more push. ”
The next thing I knew, I could hear the sounds of our baby girl crying.
I bent over and kissed Ari on the lips as she cried. “You did it, baby. ?
? I wiped the tears from her face.
When they placed our sweet baby girl on Ari’s chest, Ari just stared at her. She looked up at me and smiled. “I think the name we picked is perfect. ”
I glanced down at our beautiful angel and smiled. “I agree. Grace Hope Johnson is perfect. ” I leaned over and kissed my sweet baby girl as she gave us a big yawn.
A few minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Ellie and Gunner walked in with Alex. Then, Brad and Amanda followed with Maegan.
Ellie gave me a huge smile as she walked in, and then she glanced over to Grace. “Oh my god. Oh, Jefferson, Ari…she’s breathtaking!”
When Alex let out a laugh, Gunner laughed. “I think she’s excited about her cousin already!” Gunner reached out and shook my hand as he winked at me. “She’s beautiful, dude. ”
I looked back at her and smiled. “Yeah, she is. ”
Brad walked up, leaned down, and kissed Ari on the forehead. “Job well done, Ari. She’s beautiful. ”
Amanda smiled while she was rocking Maegan back and forth.
I glanced around and laughed. “Oh, holy hell. Do you know what it’s going to be like when these three start dating?”
Gunner and Brad glared at me.
Brad shook his head. “She ain’t gonna be dating…ever. ”
Amanda laughed. Ellie looked at Gunner and winked.
Ari sucked in a breath of air. “Heather!”
“Two beautiful, healthy babies—Isabella Gemma and William Gregory,” Amanda said.
“Wow. Four girls and two boys. Five more, and we’ll have a football team,” Gunner said with a chuckle.
Brad glanced over at Amanda and winked. “I’m working on it. ”
I noticed Ellie was looking down at the ground. She glanced up and caught my eye. When I tilted my head, she gave me a look.
Oh my god. My baby sister is pregnant.
I raised my eyebrows, and she quickly looked over toward Gunner, who was now holding Maegan while Amanda held Alex. Ellie shook her head.
