Epilogue

Leslie couldn’t contain her smile as she glanced around her backyard. She couldn’t even believe that this was her backyard. Six months after she and the boys had moved in, she felt as though she had always called this house their home.

The yard was full of noise and craziness. It was Connor’s birthday, and she had allowed each boy to invite two friends over to swim and celebrate. A birthday cake, or what was left of it, was on the patio table. Michael and Amelia’s husband, Dex, stood off to the side, discussing something. The two of them had struck up a casual friendship, so knowing them, they could be discussing anything from work to the latest sports scores.

Amelia was inside feeding little Parker, who was already not so little. In her imagination, Leslie could picture her and Michael bringing home their own baby to cherish and love. She’d thought that babies were another thing she’d put behind her forever. Having children with someone was the ultimate show of faith in her mind, and she’d lost faith in love and life for a long time.

Michael had restored that for her. She loved him so much that just thinking about him made her heart swell.

“What are you standing there grinning about?” Michael sneaked up behind her and snaked an arm around the very part of her she’d just been picturing swollen with pregnancy.

“You,” she said, not quite ready to tell him she was thinking about having his child. “Did you hold Parker?”

“I did not.” He shook his head with a smile. “Are you standing over here thinking about babies?”

Busted. She should have known he always managed to read her mind when she tried to keep a secret.

“Maybe? Would that freak you out?” She tilted her head and watched him with nothing but love. If he wanted babies, she’d give him babies. If he wanted to just help her raise her boys, that would be more than enough to make her happy.

“Not at all, but I think there’s one detail we’d have to take care of first.” He kissed her softly. “Well, maybe two.”

“Oh?” She couldn’t say anything more. Couldn’t speak beyond one syllable.

“We’d all need to have the same last name, don’t you think?”

God, she loved this man. How had she and her boys gotten so lucky? Her heart was so full with love for her boys, and love for Michael she thought it might burst.

“You want to adopt Lucas and Connor?” she choked out through tears. More than wanting to marry her, that was what squeezed her heart.

“I want to us to be a family, all four of us—if you’ll take in this weary old bachelor.” Michael always knew when she needed him to make her smile.

“How did I get so lucky to find you?” she couldn’t hold the thought in any longer.

“I’m pretty sure that’s the other way around. I got lucky and found you.”

When he kissed her again, Leslie knew for sure that happily ever after wasn’t just for storybooks.
