He hums, his fingers gently running through my hair, and I close my eyes. "Am I being selfish by not forgiving her when I forgave you?"
He sighs, "It's different with me, baby. Did I screw up? Yeah, I did, badly, but you needed your mother. You needed her after the attack, through high school, through your pregnancy, and she wasn't there for you, only for your sister. She stole from you, belittled you," I nod, "and instead of understanding theneglect and traumatization she caused you, she tried to pressure you over the last five years and tried to corner our children; that's why she's no longer allowed on club property without your father." He kisses my head and says, "You're not being selfish, baby; you're protecting yourself and our kids, and if your father can't see what's going on because he wants to keep his marriage, then that's on him."
I nod and nuzzle into his neck when my phone dings, and I sigh, grabbing it. Zayne looks down too when I open the screen, and I suck in a breath, seeing who it's from.
Daddy – I’m sorry, my darling girl. I promise I'll do better.
I close the screen and just shrug, not believing it because, like Zayne said, my mother's high maintenance and expects to get her own way. I look into the eyes of the man I adore, who smiles gently at me, kissing my forehead. "One day at a time, baby."
I nod and close my eyes, enjoying being in his arms. I want to try with my mother; I do, and I want my relationship with my father to be stronger again, but she's making it harder and harder as the years go on while he accepts it because he wants his marriage to work. I just needed time, and she wouldn't allow that, and neither would he, even after he was on my side for the first month after the engagement.
Zayne runs his fingers through my hair, kissing my head before he rasps, "How about we go home and practice making baby number four?"
I snorted before leaning back to look at him. He waggles his brows with a grin, making me shake my head at him before I lean forward to grab my bag off his desk, and he grins, thinking I like that idea. Don't get me wrong, I do, but baby number four is already on its way.
I search through my bag before finding the stick and I pass it to him.He furrows his brows before happiness shines through his eyes while I chuckle, "Too late," making him grin wide before he kisses me. His left-hand cups my cheek as our tongues tangle together while he keeps a hold of the test in his other hand before he slowly breaks the kiss, rubbing his nose against mine.
"Thank you, Firefly; thank you for giving me another chance; thank you for forgiving me; and thank you for giving me all the love in the world."
My eyes tear up before my lips find his.
Things may be hard at times; I may not have found forgiveness with my mother and my sister, and things may be difficult with my father, but my love for this man strengthens every day.
He's my home, my everything, and I am so glad I decided to try with him, even if it did make me the idiot heroine in a story. This man owns me, my heart, and my soul, and when you find that kind of love, you hold onto it tightly.
"I love you," I rasp against his lips, making him smile. "Not as much as I love you, my shooting Star."
I grin back before kissing him again, showing him how much he means to me and how our family will always come first.
I've finally got my happily ever after.
