“Care for some company?” he asked.

“I would love some.” I grinned.

He climbed into the pool and wrapped his arms around me.

“We need to start thinking about names for the baby,” he said.

“What name do you like?” I asked as my arms wrapped around his neck.

“I don’t know. I think the name Madison is nice. We can call her Maddie. Is that what everyone called you before your name change?”

“My dad called me Maddie all the time. Madison Hamilton. It has a nice ring.” I smiled.

“It sure does.” His lips met mine. “The movers are coming tomorrow to move the furniture out of the room, and then my brothers and I will start painting the walls this weekend.”

“Are you sure you know how to paint?” I asked. “We can hire someone.”

“I can paint a room, babe. Why do you doubt me?” A smirk crossed his lips.

“Because I’ve never seen you do anything handy.”

“Ouch.” He chuckled. “Don’t worry. The nursery will look beautiful once we’re done with it.”

“What a game!” Parker grinned.

“I gotta say you’ve really upped your golfing skills, bro.” Julian hooked his arm around him.

“Now that we’re done, we have to get painting the nursery. So, let’s go.”

“Can’t it wait until tomorrow?” Julian asked.

“No. I promised Morgan we’d start today. She and the moms are out looking at baby furniture. We need to get it done.”

We left the golf course and headed home. After changing into some old clothing, I set up the paint in the room.

“Okay. Let’s get this over with,” Parker said, grabbing a paint roller.

“I’m going to ask Morgan to marry me,” I blurted out.

“Excuse me?” Julian said.

“Don’t you think it’s a little too soon for that?” Parker asked.

“Not at all. I love her more than life. She’s having my baby, and I’m ready to make her my wife.”

“Did you get a ring yet?” Julian asked.

“No. We have an appointment tomorrow at eleven o’clock at Cartier.”

“Oh, so she knows you’re proposing?” Parker asked.

“No. Why would I tell her before I have a ring?”

“Bro, you just said you two have an appointment tomorrow at eleven o’clock.”
