Page 104 of Always Yours

When I went looking for my uncle, I never knew what was going to become of my life. I was there looking for some protection, but what I found was much more.

Trigger makes me happier than I ever thought I could be. He’s definitely better than the ex my mom had tried to get me to marry.

Having Colton in my life is one of the best things that ever happened to me.

I’m grateful for every day that I get to wake up by his side.

Colton smiles down at me. “She’s so beautiful.”

“Definitely worth all the pain,” I say with a chuckle.

Bear and Sasha bring the boys later to meet their sister. Our sons seem very excited to see a baby, and I know that they will be excellent big brothers.

We tell them what we had named her, and Sasha’s eyes fill with tears when she finds out that we named our daughter after her.

“All of our children have a piece of their grandparents. It’s perfect,” I tell them softly.

Which is true with Chase’s middle name being Nicolas, and Nicolas Arthur, for my other boy; but if I would have known that Bear’s real name was Arturo, I would have changed it. Uncle Bear said that he doesn’t go by that name and, in the years that he had been gone, the only people who knew him as Arturo were Lily, Derek, and Nick. They always seemed to call him Art before they got used to saying Bear.

After the grandparents leave with our boys, Trigger holds Adeline in his arms while I eat the supper that one of the prospects had brought us. I watch Colton talk softly to her even though she’s sound asleep. It’s the sweetest thing ever. Seeing my man with our children always makes me smile and reminds me what a great man he is.

“Baby, have I ever told you that I’m so fucking glad you came into my life?” Colton asks.

I smile over at him. “Almost every day. But I love hearing it,” I tease.

Even after all of these years, it felt so good to be naturally his.

“Sophie and Trig had their baby,” I say after getting off the phone with Bear.

Krista and Pyro cheer and, seconds later, our little girls join in.

“What did they have?” Krista asks excitedly.

“A little girl named Adeline,” I tell her with a smile.

“That’s great! She was hoping for a girl,” Krista says smiling happily for her friend.

“I think she was happy regardless as long as it wasn’t twins,” Pyro says with a laugh.

I look over at our twin boys, Dean and Kaiden, who just learned how to stand and pull themselves up on furniture. We had gotten twins two times in a row. Krista had said she was done because, with our luck, we would end up with twins each time. I didn’t mind as long as she was happy. After all, it’s her body.

Besides, raising twins wasn’t easy. All four of them keep us on our toes. At the clubhouse, any time that one of our kids gets close to Shield and Ink’s room, my brother freaks out.

Now, I’m pretty sure that my daughters do it just to taunt them. They have this mischievous look about them every time they are at the club.

I know that if this is what they are like at five, they are going to be an absolute handful when they are teenagers.

My woman sits on the ground as she encourages our boys to walk.

When she first came back, I had hoped I would finally take my shot with her but then Pyro came along, and I thought for sure that I definitely lost my chance with her. Fuck, I’m glad I was wrong about that.

Turns out Krista had enough room in her heart for both of us. Sure, this wasn’t the relationship I always thought I would end up in, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.

She had never made us feel like she preferred one of us over the other. I believe she loves us equally. I have no reason to be jealous when she spends time alone with Pyro, and Pyro never gets jealous when Krista and I spend our time alone together. This relationship might not work for everyone, but it works for us and that’s all that really matters.

No matter what, Krista is completely ours.
