“Always,” Joel promised. “Always.”
Epilogue
“Checking out my grandchild there,” Cord asked the group standing in front of the nursery window.
“I can’t believe it, after everything, Paige did it,” Jesse said.
“How is she?” Hillary inquired as Matt joined them wrapping his arm around her waist.
“She’s Paige,” Joel answered, “though she is resting.”
“Paige resting?” Sam stated. “Now that’s something I’ve got to see.”
“Hush, she’s gotten the mine back to being operational, gotten the lab nearly built and it’s well on its way to being certified, and carried twins without resembling a whale,” Kendra said lightly smacking his chest, “give her a break.”
“Bet you didn’t know what you were getting into with her did you?” Craig said to Joel.
“Oh, I knew and I’ve yet to complain.”
“Really?” Moose questioned.
“I thought you were the one who was yelling at the office the other day about not having the contracts on your desk,” Neal stated.
“Or that the drivers of the big trucks were making a mess,” Rabbit added.
“Alright, so I complained some. A guy can’t live with Paige and her lack of regard for her safety without getting on edge.”
“And now you have two little girls who not only resemble Paige but seem to have her spunk too,” Jesse told him. “Man am I glad I’m not in your shoes. When those two get old enough to date you’re gonna lose it.”
“As long as they treat them the way I treated Paige I think it’ll be okay.”
“Yeah, not sure how well that one was thought out there Joel,” Sam said with a pat on the back. “After all you were the one sneaking Paige into the mountain when she was sixteen.”
“Not to mention sneaking into her room,” Kendra added.
“Alright so they’re not going to date until they’re thirty, look how well that’s turned out for me and Paige.”
“You are in so much trouble,” Tristan told him. “One daughter is hard enough but two…you have three women to take care of now and all three will own every single inch of your heart.”
“They already do,” Joel assured him. “Paige always has and always will and now we have Amelia and Angela, and they are so much like her it’s hard to believe how lucky I am.”
“Well, you did marry the ‘Lucky Page’,” Hillary stated.
“I guess I did, didn’t I?” he laughed turning to head back to her. “I’ll let her know you all stopped by. I’m sure she’ll feel up to visitors tomorrow.”
He slipped inside the hospital room quietly trying not to disturb her.
“Hi, let me guess there’s a dozen or so out there?” she asked turning her head towards him.
“You’re supposed to be sleeping,” he stated bending over to kiss her.
“Who needs sleep?”
“You will. Have I mentioned how much I love you?” he inquired as he sat on the edge of the bed.
“Not in the last couple of hours. You’ve been too busy drooling all over our girls. How are they?”
“Perfect just like their mother.”
