What an amazing day. I don’t think I could have imagined how beautiful or peaceful it would be here in the summertime until I saw it for myself. The trees were full and green. Everywhere I looked there were birds of all sizes and colors chirping and flying from tree to tree. We even had a resident squirrel that I’d trained to accept peanuts out of my hand. The guys thought it was absolute nonsense and a waste of time, but I wasn’t of that opinion.
With my laptop under my arm I made my way to the outside desk that the guys had made for me on the front porch so that I could work on my novels while being outside in the fresh mountain air. They really thought of everything. I was such a lucky girl and there wasn’t a day that passed that I wasn’t reminded of that.
There was a point in my life that I didn’t think I would ever meet Mr. Right and now here I was with two of the most amazing men I’d ever met at my beck and call.
Setting the laptop on the desk I opened it up and a minute later, I was logging into my email. The first email on the list was from my publisher. Opening it up, I scanned the contents and then flopped back in the chair, my mouth agape.
Holy shit! No way!
I re-read the email, thinking that I must have misread it somehow. But I hadn’t, it was there in virtual black and white. I was being awarded romance novel of the year!
A wide smile spread across my lips and happiness and excitement spread through me. I needed to tell someone. I was about to pick up my phone when a truck came rolling up the dirt driveway, kicking up sand and dirt in its wake. It was Brock and Tyler; their timing couldn’t have been better!
Getting up from the chair, I hurried as quickly as I could down the steps of the porch to greet my men, but it was increasingly difficult to get around these days.
The truck came to a halt about ten feet from me and the boys jumped out in their uniforms, looking mouth-wateringly sexy.
“Whoa! Where do you think you’re going in such a hurry?” Tyler asked, rushing to meet me halfway and giving me a light hug. “You know what the doctor said yesterday.”
Rolling my eyes, I huffed. “Yes, I was there, remember?”
Brock joined us, taking his turn to give me a hug. “Then you’ll remember he said to take it easy, pregnancy is hard to begin with but carrying twins is twice as difficult and if you overexert yourself—”
Reaching up, I placed my index finger over his lips in an attempt to shush him. “Yes, I know. But I’m excited. I’ve got news.”
Placing an arm around my shoulders, Tyler turned me around and guided me back up the front steps and directed me to the loveseat swing, sitting down beside me, while Brock crossed his arms over his massive chest and leaned back against the railing.
“Tell us. What’s the news?” Brock prompted.
“My novel, the one I wrote when I first got here.” I had to specify because I’d been writing like a madwoman since arriving back to be with the guys, releasing three novels, all making the New York Times bestseller list.
“Yes. We know it.” Tyler grinned, his blue eyes sparkling with amusement.
“Well, it was awarded romance novel of the year!” I looked from one amused face to the other. “Can you guys believe it!” Neither one looked nearly as surprised as I was.
Tyler took my hands in his, bring my gaze back to him. “Congratulations baby! Of course, we can believe it. We’d be more surprised if you didn’t.” He chuckled. “You’re an amazing author. And we’re so proud of you.”
Brock pushed himself off the railing and came to kneel on one knee before me. “And you’re going to make an amazing mother.” Leaning forward he kissed my stomach through the light cotton sundress I was wearing. “I love you, baby.” I looked deep into Brock’s eyes and I could almost feel the emotion in them; it rocked me to my core.
Tyler gave my hands a light squeeze drawing my attention back to him. Looking up, I saw the raw love in his eyes as well. “We both love you, honey.”
How could I have gotten so lucky? I didn’t know, despite asking myself that question at least a million times since we’d first met. But I wasn’t going to second-guess it because I was about to have everything I had ever dreamed of having. A successful career. Not just one man, but two, that loved me to their very core and now babies to make our family complete. Who could ask for anything more?
The End
