“You want me to move in here?” she asks, a huge grin already showing on her face.

Relief hits me when I see she’s actually smiling.

“Yes, baby girl. I want you to move in with Rory and I. You’re the piece of us that we didn’t realize we were missing until we found you.”

“Of course I’ll move in, Rex” She jumps forward, right as I latch onto her clit, finally giving her the orgasm she craved.

Fuck I’m crazy about her.

“Move in this weekend.”

Snapping her head up, she looks perfectly content from an orgasm, yet shocked.

“This weekend? Are you crazy? My lease goes until August. I’ll move out then. I’m not going to leave Cassie.”

“That’s five months. That’s too long. Two months,” I grumble. I don’t want to wait that long to have her in my bed every night. I want her toothbrush in the bathroom, her scent on my pillow. Fuck I even want her goddamn hair everywhere, because then she’d be here. She’d be mine.

“Four.”

“Sawyer--.”

“Three. Final offer. I’ll move in at the beginning of July. That’ll give Cassie time to figure out if she wants to stay there and get a new roommate.”

“Fine. At least you’re moving in here.” I can’t help the smile I have, I probably look like I’m ten, but I don’t give a fuck. I’m so excited to have this woman in my life and can’t wait for her to move in. Just then I hear a light knock on our door, Rory’s awake.

“Come in, sweetie,” Sawyer says as she slips on the last of her pajamas.

“Hi daddy, hi Sawyer,” Rory smiles as she walks further in the room until she’s standing at the edge of my bed. “I want pancakes. Can we make pancakes? Please daddy, my tummy is hungry and I just want pancakes.”

“Okay, sweet girl. Why don’t you put cartoons on while I get up, then I’ll come make pancakes.”

“Okay, daddy. But can we have sprinkles? Sprinkles make the pancakes taste so yummy.”

“She’s not wrong, sprinkles make everything taste better,” Sawyer says with a smile.

“Fine, we can put sprinkles in,” I do my best stern voice, but it falls flat based on the smiles my girls have on.

“Let’s go to the couch while we wait for your daddy to get up, I need coffee,” Sawyer says, waiting for Rory to lead the way.

As I watch my girls walk out of the room, I can’t help but be thankful for every mistake, problem and wrong turn I’ve made in my life because it led me to this moment. Right here, this is exactly where I’m supposed to be, with my two favorite girls.

I just can’t wait for her to be here all the time. I can’t wait to tell our friends about this next step, tonight when everyone is here.

It’s permanent. She’s mine.

EPILOGUE

SAWYER

“Ro, are you sure we can’t do clear? I mean, hell, even a blue color without all that glittery shit?” Max groans from the floor.

“That’s a daddy word, you’re not supposed to say that,” Rory tells him nonchalantly, not even looking up as she sits across from him on the floor painting his nails. “And no, Uncle Maxy. The glittery sparkles make the color, besides it’s sooooo you, don’t you think?”

Harris and Cade start laughing, obviously enjoying the ‘torture’ Max is enduring at the hands of a cute five year old. Rory had her birthday party last month, and unfortunately for Rex, she wanted all of us to go out and get manicures. So the three of us went and she picked colors for each of us. I got a pretty teal, she got purple and of course she picked out bright pink for Rex. His friends, specifically Max, never let him live it down, so the guys are enjoying watching this.

Rory has taken to calling Max her uncle which is probably the cutest damn thing I’ve ever ever heard. Watching them bond and get close makes my heart happy, even if he is still a huge pain in my ass.

“I think he meant an adult word, I think it’ll be okay, Ro,” Max tells her, patiently watching as Rory does her best to paint his nails.
