EPILOGUE

“Jimmy, don’t drink that, it’s for grown-ups!” I ran up to my oldest child, scooping him up in my arms before he could grab a glass of champagne. I blew on his tummy, making him giggle wildly.

“Mommy!” He squealed, trying to squirm out of my arms. I let him go and

he looked at me with his father’s eyes.

I stared at him with my hand on my hip. “What are you doing in here anyway? I thought I told you to play outside.”

“I was hungry…”

“Lunch is almost ready.”

“But mommy…” He whined. I sighed, grabbing a banana from the fruit basket. I peeled it and handed it to him. “Try not to get too dirty!” He giggled, running out the door with the treat. I locked the door so he wouldn’t come back inside before I had everything prepared. I watched him through the French Doors as he joined some of the other kids. In an instant, he was rolling around in the grass, forgetting all about his half-eaten banana. Hungry, he said. I shook my head. Jimmy was always looking to stir trouble.

Turning my back on the door, I returned to my cooking. I opened the oven, checking on the cake I was baking. I pulled it out carefully and smiled as the whole kitchen filled up with a delicious chocolate smell. Grabbing the homemade icing from the fridge, I started generously coating the cake. Biting my lip, I focused on getting the icing perfect. Once it was smooth and even, I added the detailing. Small flowers lined the base before I added a bit of red food coloring, about to make a ladybug on top of the cake.

Just before I could finish writing Julianna’s name under the ladybug, Charles appeared behind me, his arms wrapping around my waist. I jumped, nearly messing up my creation. “Charles! Careful!”

He chuckled, kissing the side of my neck. I shivered in delight as his lips grazed my flesh, moving onto my earlobe. He tugged on it slightly, his hands roaming under my shirt, finding my chest. I couldn’t help the moan that escaped my lips. I blushed, pressing myself against his body, feeling a rush of excitement shooting up my spine.

“The cake looks great babe.” He finally pulled away.

“Aren’t you supposed to be outside with the kids?” I asked.

“Michael is on it. He’s a natural. Who knew?”

I shook my head. “The kids are probably using him as a human jungle gym.”

Charles shrugged. “He seems to be enjoying himself.”

“I can’t believe how close you two have gotten in the past year.” I commented, finishing the last little details on the cake, making sure it was perfect.

“It’s all thanks to you.” He kissed my cheek. “He’s a pretty nice guy when I’m not always trying to outdo him.”

“And yet everything is still a competition for you two. Just the other week, I remember you playing billiards until three in the morning.”

“He was cheating!”

“That’s what you always say.” I chuckled. “Anyway, since you’re here, make yourself useful.” I pointed to the tray of champagne.
