“Don’t I know it. That crazy man was ready to have kids with me the first time we messed around.”
My eyebrows shot up.
“I know. Anyway…so, we’re gonna do a wedding. Right here.”
“In the brewing room?”
She laughed. “Don’t give him that idea.”
“What?” I looked around at the rough cut beams over our heads. “It’s…rustic.”
She rolled her eyes. “No, in the taproom. I want to do it before I’m showing so we were thinking July.”
“Okay, then. Not much time.”
“No. Why we went out to see Ronan’s folks. Wanted to tell them first. But you were the first one I wanted to tell.”
I stood up and dragged her into me for a hug. “I’m happy for you, Key.”
She laid her head on my shoulder. “Thanks.” She backed up. “Oh, and would you walk me down the aisle?”
My throat closed. I hadn’t been expecting that one. “Man. I’d be honored.”
Her eyes sparkled and she laughed as a tear escaped. “Okay good. Now enough of the mushy stuff.”
“Damn straight.”
She held out her hand, and I noticed Ronan in the doorway.
He came over to pull her against his chest. She immediately looped her arm around his back.
I held out my hand. “Congrats, man.”
Ronan shook it. His eyes were a little pink around the edges. “Sunshine is gonna give me a kid. How about that, huh?”
“Us a kid.” She drilled her finger into his belly.
He laced their fingers together and pulled them up to his lips. “Us.”
It wasn’t the first baby in our crazy extended family, but it was the first one to hit me with a real pang of something suspiciously like longing.
I’d never really thought about kids. It had always been more of a hazy future thing than on my actual radar.
“I’m really glad for you guys. Let me know if you need anything when working out the details.”
“We will.” Ronan drew her back out through the barn door. “Lennon needs you.”
She rolled her eyes. “Lennon doesn’t need me. She wants me to let her order some wild thing for the opening, I’m sure.”
“You’re the one who wanted to hire her,” Ronan teased.
“Some days I regret my decisions.” She reached up to tug on one of Ronan’s braids. “Did you hear about Prince Charming here?”
I groaned. “How long am I going to have to hear this?”
Ronan snickered. “Years, pal.”
“Always gotta be the hero. Save the day, get the thank you bang, and then off into the sunset as the Lone Ranger.”
