“WOULD YOU STOP TRYING TO get pictures of my wife?” I hear who I know must be Jarrod, bellowing from behind the closed door of Carlos and Victoria’s apartment, and I can’t help but smile.

I knock, balancing the plate of brownies I made earlier today in my other hand. I have never been to one of these dinners before, so I don’t know if I have to bring something or not. I made boxed brownies, just in case. I wish I was a better cook so I could have made something cute and pretty to share. I should get one of those Pinterest accounts Victoria is always mentioning. I have never had the opportunity to do something like this before so I never needed it.

“Dude, your wife is hot as shit. I’ll take all the pics I can get,” Carlos yells as he opens the door, a huge smile on his face.

“Come on in, guys,” he motions as we walk inside. Jackson’s hand is wrapped around my waist and we are greeted by all of our friends. Jackson quickly takes the brownies from my hands and walks them over to the table before returning back to me.

“Jackson, tell me right now, if Carlos or Pete wanted pictures of Maggie in her lingerie and bikini, would you just hand them out?” Jarrod asks. I hear a low growl come from Jackson’s chest and I know this conversation could go really bad really fast.

“That’s different and you know it. Maggie isn’t in magazines and calendars wearing that,” Carlos cries out. Jarrod opens his mouth to respond, but Amalie walks in with Axel in her arms and speaks before Jarrod can.

“Carlos, stop goading my Jarrod, you know how he gets. The only pictures you will get are the ones you cut from a magazine. Now, hush,” she says with a smile handing Axel over to Jarrod. My eyes glaze over at the sight of this huge man cradling the small baby in his arms. It’s truly a beautiful sight and warms my heart. I laugh at her words as I turn to look at Jackson, who is still grinding his jaw.

“Jackson, are you all right?” His nostrils flare as he turns to look at me and I notice the spark in his eyes.

“I’m all right. I’m just trying to stop imagining people having photos of you right now,” he glowers before I kiss his cheek.

“There are no photos of me like that, Jackson. Don’t worry,” I murmur immediately feeling the tension leave his body as he relaxes.

As evening progresses, I find that this group of friends is so much more than just friends; they are truly a family and I am so grateful to be welcomed by them. I look around at the couples in love and notice the sweet, tender touches, the knowing looks, and passing kisses exchanged between the men and their wives.

Everybody looks so happy – Victoria, with her small baby bump and a little toddler running around; and Amalie, who is cuddled with Axel as Jarrod’s long arm wraps around her shoulders.
