As I watch my two girls, I find it hard to pull my gaze away from them. However, there is something I need to give back to Trixie. Walking over to our bags, I pull out what I need, and then make my way back to them.
Taking Trixie’s hand, I place her rings back on her finger. Since Nadia is here, there is no need to leave them off. Once I kiss her hand, I take her collar, and she moves up in the bed, giving me all the room I need, to place it back around her neck.
“That’s better,” I state, once I finish.
Her heated gaze tells me all I need to know.
She’s glad I put them back on her, too.
And then I realize, it’s going to be a long six weeks.
Two years later
Sitting on the back porch, I hold Trixie’s hand, as we both watch Nadia playing with Gabbie, Nikolai, and Alexei. We decided once Nadia was born, it would be a good idea to move out of the city, so we bought a house not far from Ava and Viktor. It’s been an adjustment, since I still work at The Gentlemen’s Club and Sensuality, but overall, I’m glad we made the choice.
My heart always fills with so much love, watching Nadia playing with her cousins, and I know Trixie is happy to be closer to Ava. Not to mention, Ava has said countless times how happy she is about Trixie helping her out at Gabriella’s Dance Studio.
Who would’ve thought Ava’s wedding present from Viktor would end up being such a success.
Ava has done very well, since she’s put more work into the studio these past few years, and now, she has some very talented ballet dancers that only want her. Gabbie is one of those students, and I bet she’ll end up going to Julliard or some prestigious school, when she’s older.
We’ve even enrolled Nadia, and I can’t wait to see her up on stage for the first time. She’s actually doing well, considering she’s only two. The best part of my day is watching Nadia show me everything she’s learned.
Feeling Trixie’s hand run across my tattoo on my forearm, I glance at her, and then lean in for a kiss. She does that a lot, since I decided to get it done. It’s a tribute to our little one that we lost. Trixie got the exact same one, except her tattoo is on her left shoulder, hovering right over her heart.
“I was thinking,” I start, making sure to keep my voice low, so she’s the only one that can hear me. “What if we had another baby?”
She grins widely, as she asks, “Really?”
“I’m ready, if you are.”
Trixie begins to laugh, and I frown, wondering if I missed something. “It’s funny you say that,” she claims. As I wait for her to finish, Ava walks by, and she’s smiling from ear to ear. Not to mention, Viktor holds up his beer, as if he’s trying to tell me something.
“Okay, am I missing something here?”
She kisses me, and I can’t resist taking our kiss a little farther. It’s hard to keep my hands to myself, especially when I know she wants me just as much. As she pulls away, I give her a heated glance, and she bites her lip, knowing exactly what’s on my mind.
“I’m pregnant,” she states, and it takes me a moment to catch up. “I was going to tell you, but then, you said you’re ready for another one. It’s like fate is telling us we’re both ready.”
“Are you really?”
She nods, and I let out a laugh, wondering how in the world I got so damn lucky. Standing up, I pull her upright, so I can embrace her tightly. Caressing her face, I kiss her again, and again, thanking her for giving me such precious gifts.
She and I have been dealt with some extremely difficult times in our lives, but even with all the bad in our pasts, I wouldn’t change a thing. Everything that’s happened, has brought us right here to this very moment.
I couldn’t imagine my life without her or my daughter in it.
I don’t know how in the hell I ended up being so lucky finding Trixie, but I thank whoever is out there listening. I’m grateful, and every day is filled with so much love and joy. I told Trixie once that as long as she was by my side, everything would be better. I told her we would get through all the bad times, and this proves it.
She makes life amazing, and I wouldn’t dare try to change that for anything in the world.

Okay, I’m going to get a little sappy for a moment. I have so many amazing people to thank, but I don’t want to forget anyone. Instead, I’m making this thank you for all of you. Firstly, I would not be here, doing what I love, if it were not for you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on me. I honestly don’t have enough words to express how grateful I am for you wanting to read my books. I hope you love it as much as I did, while writing it, and thank you again from the bottom of my heart for reading.
