“I’ve been yours for a while now. We just hadn’t said it out loud.”

He smiles and squeezes my shoulder gently. “How are you and the baby? I’ve watched you two every day for weeks. It was hell not to come closer.”

“I wish you’d called. I’d have told you I love you and I missed you.” I roll onto my side to catch his gaze as he hears the words I’ve been desperate to say for weeks.

“I love you more, little girl.” He kisses my forehead gently and hums low in his throat. “I guess we should plan out a green house and build a barn.”

My brows wrinkle. “Why’s that?”

“For the sustainable farm you want. That’s the dream, right?”

My heart swells. “Well yeah, but what about you? What about Alaska and your family?”

“You are my family.” He kisses my head again. “We’ll visit Alaska, but up here with you is where I belong. Besides, I’ve got one brother staying in Rugged Mountain already. It’ll be good to give him some company. And the way Atlas has been helping over at Peyton’s place, I’m sure it won’t be long before he’s relocating as well. Though, he’s a hard catch, so I don’t know.”

“Peyton is talking to your brother?”

I nod. “They’ve been talking. He’s starting some work on her house this week.”

My jaw drops. “Wow.” I make a mental note to harass my sister about how she lectured me for keeping secrets, but I return my attention back to the present. “I want you to stay, but what about your dreams? What about your dad?”

He rolls toward me, his gaze intense. “You are my dream, little girl. This, a family, the two of us. Dad might be here longer than he wants to be, anyway. He’s not feeling so great. Not sure he’d make the trip back anytime soon.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Not sure. He won’t let a doctor near him. That said, I know deep down he’ll be happy for this wedding like he was my brother Rowan’s. And you,” he squeezes my shoulder, “are free from Dave and his bullshit. Atlas and I went and talked to his cousin, Maddox.”

I laugh under my breath and sit up, twisting toward him as my heavy breasts continue to leak milk. I swear this is going to be a thing now. “You did what?”

Hudson sits up and twists toward me, licking off the drops that spill. My clit throbs again. “Is that a problem?”

“No. It’s great! It’s just that Maddox and the Baxters are kind of royalty here. They essentially own the town. He’s… what did you say?”

“I told him what was going on and we stopped over to Dave’s place. He’s going to sign ownership,” he clears his throat, “parental rights over to me if that’s what you want. Maddox agreed to keep everything quiet for Dave’s sake if he goes along. Not that he deserves it, but this is what I want if you do.”

My heart swells and tears stream down my face as I roll onto the goliath next to me. “Yes, this is what I want. This is all I’ve ever wanted.”

Hudson runs his big, rough hand up and over my chest. “Good. Then let’s make sure we get this right. I want more babies in the works right now.”

I smile and grip his cock, anchoring down onto him with a sigh as every single one of my dreams comes true all at once.

A Year Later

“Irish twins is what you call them.” Ruby’s mom holds my newborn daughter, Lisa, against her chest as Koda toddles toward us. “It’s when siblings are born within a year of each other.”

“Is Irish triplets a thing?” I kiss Ruby’s neck and scoop Koda up into my arms. “I don’t plan on stopping. We need a house full of babies to help on this farm.”

“That’s the truth,” her dad says, carrying a platter of cookies out from the kitchen. “How is everything going with that? You two have been quiet up here since the wedding.”

We have been absorbed in our own little world since the wedding a few months ago. I would’ve married Ruby the same night I snuck into her bathroom, but we decided to plan a little ceremony next to the river the same day I signed the adoption papers for Koda. She wore a simple white slip dress with lace around the edges, and though I would’ve worn better, she insisted I wear my faded blue jeans and the cowboy boots she loves so much. The day couldn’t have been more perfect.

“Yeah, we finally got the greenhouse up and we’re working on the barn now. Hopefully by spring we’ll have some livestock. Ruby wants highland cows and a few miniature horses. I’m not sure how they help us with sustainability yet, but she swearsthey’re cute.” I laugh and watch as Ruby hands our baby girl off to her father before tugging me into the kitchen. I glance toward her dad and call back, “Guess we will finish this up in a bit.”

He laughs and redirects his attention to his granddaughter who could sleep in a busy train station.
