Laughing, I glanced back at him. “Ha ha. Seriously though, this is amazing.”
“The crib will be the same design regardless if it’s a boy or a girl, I’ll just adjust the canopy and a few things when you find out the sex. I have to tell ya, I have a crazy feeling it’s a girl.”
My heart raced. I reached out and pulled Josh in and gave him a bro hug. Hitting him hard on the back, I said, “Thanks, dude. For everything.”
Josh hit me back … harder. “Always, Jeff.”
“For Christ’s sake. I leave you two alone for five minutes and I walk up on y’all hugging on each other? What in the hell is that about?”
&n
bsp; I pushed Josh back lightly. “Josh is trying to pull on my heart strings by getting to me through my unborn child.”
Gunner walked up and I handed him the drawing. “Damn, Josh. It’s beautiful.”
“Thanks. I appreciate that,” Josh answered with a proud grin.
“Hell, if this is what you have for Ari, I can’t imagine what you have planned for the twins.”
Josh beamed with happiness. “My dad’s helping me with it, but I think Heather is going to love it.”
“If you made it, you know she will. It makes it all the more special,” Gunner said as he handed Josh the paper.
I clapped my hands together. “Let’s head on up and get us some wood.”
“Ellie asked for S’mores fixins and they mentioned going to the dance up at the pavilion.”
Spinning Ari, I pulled her back against my body as we slid across the dance floor to a George Strait song.
Her smile alone told me she was having a blast.
When the song ended, she let out a laugh and said, “I’m exhausted! Can we sit for a bit?”
“Of course we can,” I said as I wrapped my arm around her waist and guided her over to our table.
“Taking a break?” Ellie asked.
“Whew! Yes, man we were cutting a rug I tell ya,” Ari said as she took a seat and downed almost a whole bottle of water.
Glancing over to Josh and Heather, I asked, “Y’all not dancing tonight?”
Josh and Heather laughed as Josh said, “Dude, we were just out there dancing.”
Placing her hand over her heart, Heather sighed. “Goes to show you how in love the two of you still are. You only see each other.”
My eyes locked with Ari’s. The flutter in my chest was something I would never grow tired of. “I am for sure madly in love with this one.”
A sweet smile spread across Ari’s face before she glanced around the table. “I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m ready to head back and snuggle up by a fire.”
Ellie jumped up. “Yes! S’mores time!”
The sound of the fire cracking was peaceful as I leaned back and sighed. “I’m never eating another S’more again for the rest of my life.”
“I’m going to agree with you on that one,” Ari said covering her mouth. “I feel like I’m going to hurl.”
Ellie giggled. “Stop being so dramatic, you two. You didn’t eat nearly as many as I did.”
Ari moaned. “I know, Ells. Just watching you eat them made me feel sick. I’m ready to head back to our tent.”
