I see et closer to the house

Brynn has just finished feeding little Juliette, s as she covers herself back up

Grinning because she knows I’ her like that

Seeing her nourish our child as well as ad else

The old truck squeaks loudly as it pulls up and Juliette’s blue eyes, bright as her mom’s shine on me I can already hear her little squeaks of excitement as her mama whispers that daddy’s home

I move quickly to reach her, but only because I’ve ht, and scent of both of them

My girls

My family

Brynn eases herself up and I take Juliette, hugging her close before kissing her in welcome

Brynn puffs out her cheeks, her hand running over her belly when she suddenly asks me to feel

“See?” she whispers as if it’ll stop if they hear her

“Definitely two,” I whisper, supporting our earlier suspicions

At three e than she ith Juliette

She’s never looked so beautiful Gets more beautiful by the day

“We’ll know to er down Juliette’s face, she re else

“She really loves you, you know that?” Brynn asks, looking intoto stroke my cheek

“I know she does,” I murmur

“I love her too, even think her ue out at Brynn, who returns the compliment

“I really love you,” she says, standing on tippy toes to kiss my lips

“Every day, and more every other day,” I remind her

Every day and more
