I frown. “But—”
“I know we’re already engaged. But I don’t want to wait any longer to call you my wife. As soon as you feel ready. The second you feel ready… Marry me. A big wedding, a small one… Whatever you want, as long as it happens.”
I look into his eyes, all words leaving me. He’s right. What are we waiting for? I mean, I’d like to feel good in my dress, and I don’t know how long that will take but…
“That’s what you want?”
“It’s all I want now. You’ve given me everything else already.” His eyes move to our daughter, then back to our son.
I follow his gaze and look at both of our babies. They still need names. Despite all the baby books Drew bought, we still haven’t decided. I told him we’d know once they were born. That our guts would tell us.
Because after everything, I trust my gut again now.
But most of all, I trust him.
Who could have predicted that almost five years ago, I would have gone on a double date I wasn’t supposed to be on, and met the man I was destined to be with, even though he wasn’t my date? And that we’d be here today? With our beautiful babies. A family.
Us.
Simply us.
If I’d known what we would go through to get to this point then I wouldn’t have thought it was possible. I’d have thought it was too much to handle.
If it weren’t for Drew.
Because as much as my career might have dubbed me ‘Havers the Handler’, he’s the one with the real strength and refusal to give in. He could have walked away so many times. But he’s handled every obstacle thrown our way, still looking at me at the end of each day like it’s his biggest blessing to be able to be with me. To love me.
I once thought I was handling everything. But Drew’s taught me that the true gift is finding the person who wants to handle everything together.
I lift my gaze back to him and he’s watching me with a soft smile on his face.
“What do you say, Ms. Havers?”
“What do I say, Mr. Harper?” I muse, my eyes falling down onto our son’s cheek as I stroke it with the back of one finger. “What should I tell your daddy?” I muse before looking back up again.
Drew quirks a brow, holding his breath, waiting on my answer.
I lick my lips, a burst of warmth erupting in my chest. His eyes soften as he gazes at me.
“You want my answer?”
“I’ve wanted it since the day I met you.”
“Then here it is… Yes.”

Epilogue - Six Months Later
“I love this one.”
Maddy juggles our son in one arm and points at the photo of us the leaving the hospital. It’s taped inside the twins’ baby book that Holly gave us when she and Jay visited with the girls last week. They couldn’t stay for the party because Jay had filming to get back for. The picture is taken from behind as I carry the matching car seats out, one in each hand.
“Aww,” a collective coo fills our kitchen as Sophie’s dad holds up the book and our friends peer in to take a look. I catch Sophie’s eye across the room from where Tanner and I are setting up the cake.
She smiles at me, her cheeks flushing as she reads the hunger in my eyes. Emmett and Bailey started sleeping in the nursery last week after being in with us at night. I’ve made sure to make the most of having Sophie all to myself. And I was enjoying the way she chose to wake me up with her lips wrapped around my dick this morning… until Emmett decided he wanted feeding.
