"You think?" I asked, brightening at that. I had been putting all my energy into trying to get this new women’s shelter off the ground and open, donating as much as possible and offering my support in terms of organization as well. It was a tough job, but I knew how many people would be helped by this—people always needed an escape, somewhere to go where they knew they could be safe and comfortable while they figured out what to do next. More than that, they deserved it, and I wanted to do my part in providing it. He nodded.
"Yeah, she would," he replied. "This is exactly what she would have done if she’d had the money. You’re using it right. It’s what she would have wanted."
I smiled at him. It meant a whole lot, coming from him—knowing how hard it had been to wrap his head around Scott and me together, around Scott being part of the family now. But, as Scott had promised, he had done all he could to make sure my brother had no reason to doubt him, and it seemed to have worked.
"Thanks, Mark."
In fact, Mark was one of the only people we invited to our wedding ceremony a few weeks after Natalie was born. As soon as I was back on my feet and in a haze of hormones and love for our new little family, I told Scott I wanted to marry him.
"You don’t want to have some big ceremony?" He asked, and I shook my head.
"I just want to be able to call you my husband," I told him, and he looked down at Natalie, who was resting peacefully in his arms as we spoke. He grinned, and I could see the love in his eyes for his little daughter.
"I think I’d like that, too."
And so, we got married as soon as we could, a matter of weeks after we had Natalie. Shelby was there, Mark, along with a couple of other friends, but it was really just about the two of us sharing this day and the beautiful moment where I got to look into his eyes and pledge myself to him for the rest of my life.
It was perfect, everything I wanted it to be, and when we lay in bed together that night, he wrapped his arms around me, brushing his fingers through my hair so I could feel the coolness of his new ring against my skin.
"I love you, Thea," he murmured. "And I’m going to spend the rest of my life trying to show you just how much I mean that."
I closed my eyes and nuzzled into him happily. This was it—what I’d wanted. I might have lost my parents, but I had found a family all of my own, a family I knew would be with me for the rest of my life.
A family I was currently trying to get to the restaurant on time so we could go to our monthly dinner with Mark. He always doted over Natalie—just like he had told me he would do. He was the best uncle in the world.
But the best uncle would have to wait a hot minute before we got to him because the three of us were having way too much fun here right now. I planted a kiss on the corner of Scott’s mouth as he lifted Natalie into his arms.
"Love you," I murmured to him.
"Love you too," he replied. And as I watched him kiss our daughter on the head, I felt a flutter in my chest. My man—my husband, father of my child. Everything I’d ever wanted—my good bad boy.
