“Daddy, I just-” It’s hard for me to find the words when I’m usually more than confident about myself. Three children later and I feel like a beached whale. “Daddy, I just don’t feel attractive. I’ve put on so much weight.”

“Heather Haven.” Hudson’s strength comes through every syllable. “You are gorgeous, delicious, smart, feisty, and a few pounds heavier because you have brought life into this world. You have to show yourself some respect, little girl. Oh and let me remind you that you lifted an entire ATV damn near over your head when you thought Hazel got caught under it.”

“I was so mad when she slid out and wanted to go again. These girls are gonna kill me,” I laugh.

“No, they are you. So much fight and fire inside of them. All of our kids take after you, which means, you might have to work a little bit harder on loving yourself a little bit more. What would you say if Harlow said to you she doesn’t want any cake because she’s feeling huge?”

My heart lunges at the idea of my babies learning that kind of thing from me. “You’re right, I’m going to be better around them.”

Hudson tips a finger under my chin and kisses me, frosting on his lips and everything. “No, I want you to be better around you. I love you, every pound, every stretch mark. I’m going to spread this icing all over you and lick you up like a bear in the honeypot.”

“Daddy, don’t! Not out here. All of these people!”

Hudson raises an eyebrow. “You know me well enough by now. I don’t give a fuck about any of these people when it comes to loving my wife. I’ll send them home and have Halo take the kids. We can play, fuck, and cover the entire living room in icing until you understand how sweet you are to me.”

“You’re insatiable. You just want to stuff me with your cock and make a mess,” I laugh.

He kisses me again. “Always love making a mess with you. So what’s it gonna be, little girl? Are you going to have a piece of cake or are we going to show all these folks how we solve disputes?”

“These people do not need to see us wrestling until we make love, Hudson.”

He laughs this time, “Actually, I think a few of these folks already pay to see things like that, but seriously. I want you to enjoy yourself. Look around, babe. This is a life we’re building but none of it gets done if you’re not happy. I’ll do whatever you need to make sure you’re happy. I’ll move that big ass mountain back there if that’s what it takes.”

“Really, Hudson? The entire mountain?” I can’t help but challenge him.

“Yup. Don’t believe me, do you?”

I laugh because it’s outlandish.

“Hold this,” he hands me the cake and calls out to the house. “Jimi! Hayden! Get some dynamite and the trucks, we got a mountain to move.”

For goodness sake.

I call out after him, “Wait a minute. Who the hell sold y’all dynamite?”

What a life. I love it.

The End.
