Copper barks out a laugh. “Why not? It worked on your fine ass.”
She smacks him but not too hard because he has their daughter in his arms. I’m done answering questions. I’m ready to make us official.
“Hey!” Koyn barks out from the tree line where he stands with Halo and Payne, the three of them smoking. “I thought you were cooking the bird! Where the hell do you think you’re going?”
“Man, I’m grabbing onto my happily ever after before she runs away,” I yell back. “Tag, you’re it. Cook your own goddamn bird, Prez.”
“For fuck’s sake,” Koyn growls.
I don’t hear anything else because I make it into the clubhouse and slam the door behind us. Slowly, I set my woman to her feet and kiss her lips. Her icy glare turns into a sweet smile when I palm her stomach with my giant hand.
“I’m going to be a daddy.”
“Yeah,” she huffs. “I guess of all the choices around here, you’re the best one.”
In Erin-speak, she likes me. Soon, she’ll love me. I’ve loved her since the day I laid eyes on her. And this child we’re bringing into the world is a product of something special between us.
“You promise we’ll figure this out?” she asks, her voice trembling in a rare show of vulnerability.
“You leave it to me, sugar. I’m going to take care of you and our baby. I swear to fuck.”
“That shouldn’t be romantic,” she complains. “Ugh. This is how I got pregnant in the first place. Your annoying swoony-ass words.”
I grin at her.
She thinks I’m swoony.
Erin’s in love.
