“It won’t be that bad,” he said, leaning back in his chair. “Porter is only four, and Sela is only two.”
“Yeah, but by the time their baby is old enough to play with, Porter will be in kindergarten,” I complained. “I mean, I’m glad that they were responsible enough to wait, but it still kind of sucks.”
Hunter reached for me as soon as I was standing in front of him. Once he got me settled on his lap, he said, “I’m down to have one more.”
I laughed. “You’re insane.”
“What?” he asked, feigning innocence. “Three is a good number.”
“Two is plenty,” I argued. “Besides, we’ve only just…gotten caught up, Hunter. Do you really want to get pregnant again.”
Hunter reached up, tucking a wayward strand of hair behind my ear. “Baby, the past five years have been the most exciting years of my life.” I laughed at the way that he was choosing to describe the chaos of the past few years. “Alexandria, I’d do it a million times over if it’s you that I’m doing it with.”
It was hard to resist this man when he said things like that.
“All the same, I think a third kid might tip the scales,” I replied. “It’s nice to be able to shower every day now.”
Hunter grinned. “Well, if you change your mind, I’m more than willing to knock you up again.”
“Seriously, they should knight you,” I drawled out. “Always so noble.”
“Would you still think so if I told you that I wanted to violate you twenty different ways before my parents bring the kids back?” he smirked.
“I’d expect nothing less with our kid-free time, Mr. Finley,” I retorted.
“I do love it when you talk dirty, Mrs. Finley,” he teased back.
“Hunter?”
“Yeah, baby?”
“Just so you know, while I’m not sure about a third kid, I’d do it all over again, too,” I admitted.
That first year had been easy because my pregnancy had been easy. However, once Porter had been born, parenthood had been a rude awakening, and there was no way that I could have done it all without Hunter at my side. He had worked his ass off to provide for us and had gone without sleep too many times to count. He’d been a miracle every day, and when I’d gotten pregnant with Sela, he hadn’t broken a sweat with the extra work. If there was a better man than Hunter Finley on the planet, I wouldn’t believe it.
“I love you, Alexandria,” he said sweetly. “I will always love you.”
“I love you, Hunter Finley,” I replied. “I’m so glad it was you.”
“Even with that nasty kidnapping business in our past?” he teased.
“Especially with that nasty kidnapping business in our past,” I teased back.
The End.
