He looked so cute; Bree kissed his cheeks before settling him in her arms. “Hello, Matty. How are you, my darling son?”

Adam chuckled. “You asked each of our children that very question when they were born, and not a one of them answered you.”

“You never know, one of them might someday.”

Adam’s eyebrows shot high up his forehead. “You want more children? I thought we’d stop after this one.”

She laughed. “You should see your face.” She decided to put him out of his misery. “I’m not planning to have any more children. I’m almost forty, and I don’t want to be retired and still have children in high school.”

He swiped the back of his hand over his forehead. “Whew. You had me worried there.”

She noticed Adam’s shock had settled into a smile as he stared at his new son. “I’d like some time for just us. We need that. Now, it’s all about the children, as it should be, but later, I want it to be just us.”

He turned his gaze toward her, his eyes twinkling, and his smile still in place. “You are an amazing woman, my love. You know just what to say to ease my mind.”

She reached out and entwined her fingers with his. “I love you, Adam, more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow.”

“I love you, too, Bree. More than I ever thought possible.”

She looked down at Matty.

The baby stared. At least, it looked like he stared at Bree. He had big blue eyes and blonde hair so pale it looked white. He was the most beautiful child Bree had ever seen…at least, since the birth of her other children.

Bree was happier than she’d ever thought possible. She wouldn’t trade her life for anything. Not any of it, because she had to go through the bad times to have the good times and be where she was now. A wife and mother. Her dreams really did come true.
