I had my two husbands.
They had me.
And we were going to finally be a family and irrevocably connected.
And although it wasn’t perfect all the time, although we had our disagreements, our differences, the one thing we had that would never fade… was each other.
We had our love.
Epilogue Two
Sofie
Ten years later
“Deacon and Victor, you better leave Polly alone or it’s no dessert for you after dinner,” I shouted at the twins, who, although younger than their sister by two years, tormented her until I knew she was ready to scream.
“Sorry, Momma,” the boys said in unison and ran off.
Polly huffed out, but there was a thankful expression in her face.
“Dinner in twenty, sweetheart.”
She nodded and went back to tending to the flowers she was planting.
I sat back down and watched the boys run over to the swing set Ryker and Jareth had put together last year. Deacon and Victor, identical twins, both spitting images of Ryker. And Polly, our firstborn, looked exactly like Jareth. Hell, she even had his personality and resting bitch face down to perfection.
Although we’d never done a DNA test, frankly because it didn’t matter to us, we all knew who the biological parents were.
But to be honest, we didn’t care who their father was by blood. Jareth and Ryker took care of the three of them, loved and cherished them, and protected them with their lives as if there was no doubt they’d fathered them all.
I heard the back door open and looked over my shoulder to see Ryker coming out, a tray in his hands, juice boxes for the boys, and three glasses of lemonade for us and Polly. I smiled as he came over and set it down on the patio table, a light breeze moving by us, the wind ruffling the strands of my hair along my shoulders.
“Sweetheart, come and grab something to drink,” Ryker called out to Polly.
She stood and brushed off her knees and then was walking over. Once she was only a foot away, Ryker wrapped his arm around her shoulders and brought her in for a hug. Then he leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
I smiled again, feeling my heart warm at the sight of the bond they had. Ryker winked at me, and I felt my heart skip a beat.
“Thanks, Daddy.” Polly grabbed a glass of lemonade and sat beside me, and I moved some hair away from her face.
“How are the flowers going?” Ryker asked as he sat in the chair beside us.
She tipped the glass back and took a small sip. “Good, surprisingly. Maybe I have this whole green thumb thing down after all.”
Ryker and I chuckled.
“Of course you do. You’re smart as hell, baby girl,” Jareth said from behind us.
Jareth had a beer in one hand as he leaned down and kissed Polly on top of the head. He stood beside her as he stared at the boys. “They’re fearless,” he said, and we all murmured our agreements.
“Dinner is ready,” he said and looked over at me, a possessive glint in his eyes.
I felt warm tendrils of desire move through me, the same feeling I got when Ryker gave me that sexy little wink.
“Polly, can you wrangle the boys inside?”
She looked over at me and nodded. “Wish me luck,” she joked, and I patted her knee. As she stood and headed over to the swing set, Deacon and Victor spotting her and play screaming, I could only smile and shake my head.
