“She’s becoming paranoid about her looks as she gets older. Is Pea the same?” Dane asks me.

I tilt my head and gauge his attitude. He rarely asks questions that show vulnerability, even to his family, and especially about Libby. But I’m there for my brother. Always.

“Yeah.” I nod. “She mentions shit like that sometimes. I used to try to placate her, telling her she was gorgeous. Of course, then she said I was lying to make her feel better.” I raise an eyebrow at him, and he grins.

“Figures, she’s as stubborn as me,” Dane says glancing over to the women, and I smile.

“I stopped saying anything for a while. Of course, that led to her being insecure and accusing me of having an affair.” I roll my eyes and Dane shakes his head, a small grin playing on his lips. “I don’t get what it is with them though,” I say with a shrug, and his eyes meet mine again. “Pea, Soph, or Libby, none of them have any reason to worry.”

“Fuck if I know how their minds work,” Dane says with another shake of his head.

I’m about to go grab us both a beer when the baby monitor in my hand comes to life with Olivia’s wails. I glance to Pea and nod my head toward the stairs, she smiles in return, and I make my way to our baby daughter’s bedroom. Olivia was a surprise for Pea and me. A good one, but a surprise nonetheless. We thought Eleanor was it. She was seventeen when Pea got pregnant with Olivia. We had planned to travel to Australia as soon as Eleanor went away to college, but all our plans were put on hold for a year when we found out Pea was pregnant. As I gaze at my youngest daughter with her puffy red cheeks and bright eyes, all I feel is pure love, no regrets, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for her, for them, for my family.

“Hey daddy’s little popsicle, you want to come to me?” I ask holding my hands out. She sticks her chubby little arms toward me, and my heart bursts. There was a time I thought I’d never have this. If it wasn’t Pea, then it wasn’t anyone, and I was ready to live the rest of my life without having any of the things I’d always dreamed of having with her.

“She’s definitely a daddy’s girl that one.”

I hear my wife from behind and turn, cradling Olivia to my chest. The conversation with Dane is still ringing in my ears as I just stand and stare at her. Pea’s stunning chocolate hair is still thick and vibrant, even though she wears it shorter these days. Her big brown eyes are as inviting, loving, and outwardly expressive as they always were. Her body’s amazing and I know, with everything in me, that I love her more than I ever did.

“I couldn’t love you more,” I whisper, and her body starts, not expecting my words.
