I step through the French doors to see my wife stretched out in the middle of the bed. A smile forms on her plump lips. “Morning, kitten.” I sit down on the side of the bed, my hand going to her stomach while my mouth comes down on hers.
“Morning,” she gets out between kisses. “You let me sleep too late,” June says around a yawn.
“You need your rest.” I might have kept her up late.
We have a full day today. I’m shocked people haven't started showing up already. June might as well be the mayor of Cottonwood. People will be coming and going all day to wish her a happy birthday. Not to mention our whole family will be here soon too. We’re all always together.
“She is wearing me down.” June places her hand over mine on her stomach. “I swear she’s more active than the twins.” To prove her mom right, our baby girl gives an impressive kick.
“So I take it this will be our last one, then.” I suppress a smirk, knowing it won't be the last one.
“Never.” June gives me a playful smack on the shoulder. I won’t lie. I was freaked the fuck out when June came up pregnant with twins. I wasn't sure how to handle one baby, let alone two.
June makes being a mother look easy. It helped put me at ease. I wasn’t half bad at parenting either. I even realized I wasn't a terrible cook. Once I slowed down with my work life, I had a chance to try things I had never done before. Sometimes you have no fucking clue what you’re missing until you get a taste of it.
“You know how much I love you?” I brush my mouth against hers. I don’t want to think where I would be in life right now if June hadn’t come along.
“I do.” She smiles up at me. That’s all that matters.
The sound of a blender turning on with a small scream followed by giggles from our girls fills the house. My days of quiet are long gone. I wouldn’t have it any other way.
