And with it went my ability to drink.
Shit.***Four hours later, with all my family and friends around me, I realized that maybe another kid wouldn’t be so bad after all.
Especially not with Georgia and Nico’s fourth baby in my arms.
“He’s just the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen!” I said, rubbing my nose along Heath’s head.
Heath was all of two weeks old, and the very definition of his father.
“You did good, big brother,” I said, smiling up at Nico.
Nico winked. “I know.”
“And so humble,” Georgia laughed.
“Nico, humble?” Downy asked after taking a sip of his beer.
The whole group laughed.
And I looked around at my extended family.
They were all there.
Luke and Reese with their three children.
Nico and Georgia with their four kids.
Downy and Memphis with their two children.
Miller and Mercy, with their three.
Foster and Blake with their two.
Bennett and Lennox with their two.
My sisters and their husbands and boyfriends.
The Chief and his wife.
My parents. Michael’s Parents.
Joslin and Dean.
Madden and his kiddos.
My husband and children.
Hannah and Wolf – although, that was a new thing.
They’d spoken on and off for the last few years, but with the way they were acting, looking at each other but not going near the other, I knew something had transpired.
I just didn’t know what, but I had a feeling that something would break soon.
And then they’d be just as happy as the rest of us.
And I was happy
Ecstatically so.
“Here you go, Mama,” Michael said, handing Clay over.
He took Heath from my arms and handed me my own little butterball, and I smiled as Michael gazed longingly into Heath’s little face.
For a man that hadn’t wanted any children, he sure was adamant about having more and more.
And as I looked around at all the children running and playing happily in the yard amongst their parents, I decided that just maybe another baby wouldn’t be a bad thing.
As long as I had Michael, I could totally get on board with another kid.
Because I loved him.
With my whole heart and soul, and I knew he’d always be there for me.
He was just that type of man.
A man that always had his woman’s back, no matter what it took.
That’s what true love was.
