“Of course,” she says, running her hand up and down my back. “You’re going to be an amazing mom.”
“I hope so.”
She pulls back to look me in the eyes. “I know so.”
Hadley pats my knee from the other side. “She’s right. That little girl is one lucky lady to have you as a mom.”
I swipe at the tears that won’t seem to stop. “Stop saying things like that. I can’t stop crying,” I half cry, half laugh.
The rest of the party passes in a blur of a few more tears and more laughter than I can fathom. I am loved, and I know without a shadow of a doubt my little girl is never going to question how much she is loved.
No matter what happens with the guys, she’s always going to be surrounded by people who will show her what it’s like to be adored every day of her life.
The vision of my future isn’t murky in my mind anymore. I know what I want. I want them, all of them. I want a future with all of us as a family.
Now let’s just hope they feel the same way.
CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
Warren
As soon asHadley pulled away from the curb with Sienna in tow, we all got to work. We only have a few hours to make this happen, but we want to show her that we’re all in.
We want all of us to live here together as a family.
Two minutes after Hadley disappears around the corner, Austin parks the moving truck in the driveway. Tucker and Grayson got all their things loaded into it yesterday, so it was ready for him this morning.
The twins, Brooks and Conrad, park one of their work trucks behind Austin. They all pile out, meeting Grayson, Tucker, and me at the front of the house.
“And to think you gave me so much shit about being with your sister,” Austin says, slapping Grayson on the shoulder.
To which he rolls his eyes. “That wasn’t because she was with more than one guy.”
Brooks snorts out a laugh, which earns him a glare from Grayson.
“It was because you’re my best friend,” Grayson says to Austin.
“You’re so full of shit,” Conrad says, laughing.
“Yeah, yeah… whatever,” Grayson waves him off.
“We better get started,” I say, knowing our time is limited. Without another word, we all get to work.
The last few weeks have been a flurry of secrets, getting all of this planned for her from the secret baby shower to this big reveal. I just hope we can pull it off in time.
We all work together, moving their stuff into the once unfinished basement where there are now two bedrooms and a bathroom.
Having friends who run their own contracting company came in handy over the last couple of weeks. Austin and the twins were able to get all the work done while Sienna was working or out doing other things, so she has no idea.
Sweat is dripping down my back by the time we get everything downstairs. Jackson has been running up and down the ramp up to the moving truck the entire time we’ve been working.
“One more time, Jacks. Austin needs to take the truck back to the store for us,” I tell him.
The look he gives me over his shoulder is almost enough to break my heart.
Grayson steps up beside him. “We are going to go finish the baby’s room now. Do you want to help?”
Jackson spins around and, without any warning, jumps into Grayson’s arms.
