Now that we’re back in each other’s lives, we’ve built a bond that I never thought would be possible in a million years.
“I’ll go with you.” Xan’s words and his kiss on the top of my head bring me back from my reverie.
“Go with me where?”
“To Kir. You’re still thinking about him, aren’t you? And if he complains to you about how often you visit, I’ll punch him.”
“Hey, don’t punch my baby brother.”
“I’ll punch anyone who hurts you. Kir included.”
“He’s your half-brother, too,” I whisper.
“That doesn’t give him a pass.”
I chuckle, leaning my head against his chest. “You’re impossible.”
“For you, Green. Only you.”
Only me.
I can die a happy woman right here and now.

The four of us leave the kids with their fathers as we sit around for a drink.
Astrid and Levi are still absent, so it’s just Elsa, Kim, Silver, and me.
Aiden has both Landon and Brandon on his lap. Eli refuses to join since he’s a ‘big boy’.
Cecily holds on to her father as if her life depends on it. Little Ava keeps playing with Cole’s tie and giggling whenever he tickles her.
Remi is casually draped over Ronan’s shoulder. I swear, those two have the most chill father-son relationship ever. It’s like they’re friends, which isn’t so hard to believe considering that Ronan is forever young. It doesn’t matter how old he gets, he’s still the life of every gathering, and right now, he’s plotting a game to keep the children busy. There’s a reason why Ronan is every child’s favourite uncle.
Our Remi is so cool about it, too. I thought he would be jealous that other kids would be taking up his father’s time, but he said, “No, Mummy. That means Daddy is da best.”
It’s like he’s his wingman.
My heart always flutters when I see them together. My two men. Who knew there would be a day when I would be a wife and a mother, and not only that, but also have the best family out there.
I have a husband who wakes me up on a daily basis with his head buried between my legs to ‘relax me’ and a son who’s learning from his father to bring me breakfast in bed.
For someone who hardly had a family, having Ronan and Remi feels like an eternal dream.
One I don’t ever want to wake up from.
“Stop it.” Silver’s voice brings me to the present.
She’s elbowing Kim, who keeps laughing under her breath while Silver is blushing.
“What’s going on?” Elsa asks.
“Nothing.” Kim hides her laughter again.
“She was teasing me.” Silver narrows her eyes on her childhood friend.
