for your help, but I’d like time alone with my fiancée.” Camden tilts his head.

“Sure thing. We’ll make sure to edit out the cock owner comment,” Noel winks.

Camden groans, rubbing a hand down his face. “Please do.”

I can’t help but laugh. It’s just like my best friends to place themselves in a situation like this. Berkeley smiles and gives me a thumb’s up before grabbing my hand and staring at my ring, Noel following behind her.

“Good job, Camden,” Noel praises. When she looks at me, her eyes water, but she blinks them away. Wrapping her arms around my body, she whispers, “Congrats, babe. You deserve this so damn much.” I hug her back and thank her. Accepting Berkeley’s hug next.

Camden sighs when they finally leave. “I didn’t think they’d stay.”

“Clearly, you don’t know them well enough.” I chuckle and walk toward him. “This was amazing and so unexpected.” I loop my arms around his neck.

“I’ve had the ring for weeks. I was planning on proposing before Walker was born, but our plans changed.” His head tips down.

“This is perfect.” I place a finger under his chin and lift his head. “You’re perfect. Thank you.”

My mouth finds his, our tongues tangling. We get lost in each other, savoring the moment and tattooing this memory to our personal storybook, making love and promising forever.

“Welcome home, buddy,” Camden says as he opens the door to our apartment, holding Walker in the carrier. It’s been a few days since Camden proposed, and we’re finally home as a family of three.

“I’m pretty sure he’s asleep,” I joke.

“Let me have this moment. I’ve been thinking about saying that since the doctor told me we could bring him home today.” A beautiful smile paints his face in shades of happiness.

“We are finally home.” I nod, carrying in the bag from the hospital.

Walker is completely healthy, as healthy as a full-term baby. Now, it’s time for us to be parents, and I’m so excited to experience this with Camden.

The offer we put on the ranch house in Everton was accepted, and we’ll be closing that sale soon. Our life is finally back on track, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. What we lived through was scary, but it’s only made Camden and my relationship stronger. I’ll never be able to give enough thanks for the man that stands by my side.

We settle in and sit on the couch with Walker in my arms and Camden’s arms around me. I smile as I begin to relax for the first time in almost two months. It’s been a long journey, but we’re here now, safe and sound.

Later, my mom comes over to visit, and we let her cuddle Walker all she wants. Her very first grandson and she feared she wouldn’t have the chance to watch him grow. She didn’t need to tell me that for me to read it on her fear-stricken face when I was in the hospital.

I show her pictures and videos that Faith took of the house in Everton when she went to see it in person and tell her our plans to move once the doctor gives us the okay to travel with Walker. I can’t wait to raise him in my hometown and watch him run around our yard. Hell, I’ll even teach Camden how to ride a horse just to watch him ride with our son.

Camden winks at me from across the living room, and I know deep in the pit of my stomach that we can overcome anything that comes our way.

Once we’re alone, we get into a routine, changing diapers, feeding Walker, and holding him until he’s sleeping soundly. When I crawl into bed with Camden, I make sure that Walker’s bassinet is next to me so I can hear any cry while I’m sleeping. I won’t be able to overprotect him forever, but on this first night at home with him, I plan to keep a watchful eye.

Curling into Camden’s arms, we talk about our wedding, the move, and raising Walker. As nice as a big wedding like Easton and Faith had was, I’m a simpler person.

“I was thinking something small, maybe in a barn with our family and close friends. Nothing flashy, but a ceremony and a nice dinner.”

“Whatever you want.”

I shake my head and smile. “No, you have to tell me what you want, too. It’s our wedding, not just mine.” My hand skims up his chest and around his shoulder as I shift closer to him.

“Not with the baby in the room.” Camden teases me with a crooked smirk, his hand landing on my hip. I giggle.

“I just want you to hold me,” I whisper against his lips before kissing him softly.

“Mhmm…” He deepens the kiss.

I laugh when he groans and moves back. “This is probably stupid, but I can’t do it with Walker in the room.” My laugh grows louder, and Camden shushes me. Gripping my stomach, I let it all out.

“You’re insane, and I love it.” He pins me on the bed, his body over mine. “I’m going to marry you, make love to you for the rest of our lives, and when we’re ready, make another baby.”

My laughter catches in my throat as heat consumes my body. I quietly moan when I feel his hardness against my core.

“Challenge accepted.” I tease.

Camden shakes his head. “Being with you is no challenge, Kiwi.” He kisses me again. In the quiet of our room, Camden forgets about the awkwardness and strips me before making sweet love to me.

Two months later…

“It’s fucking freezing out there.” Camden walks into our house, wiping his feet on the rug and removing his gloves.

I laugh and shrug. “Welcome to spring in Everton.” Truth is, I forgot how cold it got here.

“I can’t imagine what the dead of winter is like.” He steps into the kitchen, where I’m bouncing Walker in my Boba wrap. “You’re warm,” Camden adds when he pecks my lips.

“I
