He indicated his daughter, then the nurse put the other bracelet on Ginny. Ginny was starting to sniff and make noises, almost like a cry. The nurse talked Jesse through getting the girls to latch on and then left their little family alone. He scooted onto the bed, slipping his arm around Jesse as the girls nursed. The nurse had called it tandem nursing, and it was one more thing that awed him about his woman. He leaned close to Jesse.

“Our life couldn’t be any more perfect. And I thought you were fierce with the bail bonds but today? Wow, I’m in awe of you. I love you and the girls so much.”

“I love you too. Do we need to text the family since this was a little unexpected today?”

Cannon chuckled. “I texted them when we got in here, then silenced my phone.”

He reached back and pulled it in front of them.

He glanced through them but wasn’t taking the time to read them all right now. He was marveling at his daughters. He didsee that most everyone was on their way. He glanced at his watch.

“We probably have about forty minutes before we’re invaded by the horde.”

“Let’s get the girls burped and see if we can catch a little nap. I’m really tired.”

Cannon picked up Ginny and laid her against his shoulder, patting it until he heard a tiny burp. Then he laid her in the infant bed the nurse had placed beside the bed. As Rissa finished, he did the same. He helped Jesse get situated and then flicked the light out over the bed. Once she drifted off, he picked up both girls and then sat in the recliner by the bed. He leaned back, having one girl in each arm.Could his life be any more perfect than this?

Chapter Twenty-Nine

Jesse had a short nap, then one of the nurses came in and walked her to the bathroom the first time. They went over all the things she could do, along with some things about the girls. Jesse would love a shower, but she definitely didn’t have time before her family or the horde, as Cannon had called them, descended.

She hoped someone was bringing the bags they’d packed for the hospital. She had some nice nursing nightgowns she’d rather have along with her nursing bras. She opened the door and Cannon immediately walked over to help her back to bed. She motioned to the larger family bed on the other side of their suite.

“I want to move to there so we can all cuddle together. It’s the whole reason I requested the birthing suite.”

Cannon led her over there, pulling back the cover and situating a pillow behind her. Then he pushed the girls’ small bed thing over. Though it really looked like someone had cut the top off a clear plastic tub and mounted it to a TV tray. Shewas sure the hospital paid major bucks for something she could probably improve on in her garage.

Cannon slipped off his shoes and slid in beside her after he laid the girls on the bed between them. He was looking at the bracelets.

“What are you thinking?”

“I’m wondering how long we can have them wear the bracelets after we go home. How will we tell them apart?”

Jesse lifted Ginny into her arms, unwrapping her a little. She had the striped hat Jesse had seen most newborns with and then a diaper on. Cannon had picked up Rissa and was doing the same thing. Side by side they did look identical.

“Well, I’m happy to like paint a toenail, but I don’t want fingernails painted because they might ingest the nail polish. I guess we could also put their names on their socks.”

Jesse had thought through so much but not how to tell the girls apart. Maybe the family would have a good idea. She’d picked the overalls Cannon bought the girls along with the shoes he’d bought them to bring them home in. Other than that, she’d just picked cute outfits.

“Knock, knock. Can we come in?” Locks’ voice called.

“Come on in, Dad,” Jesse called back.

Her dad, Baron, Regina, Stella, and Clara all walked in, followed by her sisters, their husbands and the rest of the MC. And this was exactly why she’d requested the birthing suite. It was a huge room with multiple couches plus the king-size bed for her and Cannon.

“Okay, let me have one of my grandbabies,” Locks directed.

Bear handed something to Cannon.

“Hold on. I’d planned on doing this before the birth, but our little ones stole my thunder, so bear with me.”

Cannon pulled a leather item out along with a small box. He knelt on the bed beside her and the girls.

“You have given me everything. I can’t think of anything more I want for the rest of my life than to have you as my wife and for you to wear my Property cut. Will you be mine forever, Jesse?”

Cannon kneeled there with that hopeful look on his face and she couldn’t make him wait.
