Epilogue
Amelia
“Welcome home.”
I grin as I take in the large welcome home sign in front of the house and the beautiful smiles on their faces. This is more than I could ever have asked for.
“Thank you.”
“Nonsense. You never have to thank us for anything. It should be us thanking you for coming into our lives and making it complete,” Josiah says, carrying my bags into the house.
I stayed in the hospital for two weeks, although I would’ve much preferred to return earlier. The guys had been so worried and unbending in their decision to have me stay back under the doctor’s watchful eyes after a tiring twelve hours of labor.
I’d agreed to their demands because I didn’t want to worry them. Now that I’m home, I’m happy and excited to be with my men once again, without the curious eyes of the hospital staff watching us in confusion.
Tanner had found it amusing how perplexed they were by our relationship, going out of his way to confuse them even further.
Rueben had been the most reserved of the bunch, constantly asking if I was okay and watching over me in case I needed anything.
Josiah, on the other hand, had been more relaxed and sometimes a mixture of the others.
“Come in, you shouldn’t stay standing for too long,” Rueben says, adjusting Layla’s head on his shoulder as he takes my hand and pulls me towards the sofa.
I roll my eyes as I follow after him, although I must admit that sitting does feel good.
Tanner comes in with Logan, and grins when he sees me slightly dozing off.
“Guess you were tired after all,” he says.
“I admit that I am,” I return his grin and laugh tiredly.
“Come on. You need to go to bed,” he says, leading me to the bedroom.
I follow him and lie on the bed, with the guys sitting close to me.
“Don’t worry yourself and sleep. We will watch over Layla and Logan for you. You can continue being the princess you’ve always been,” Tanner says.
“All right, it’s my turn to carry the twins. You can’t just hoard them,” Josiah says, surprising me with a pout. He turns to me and grins. “Maybe you should have had three so we could each have one.”
Rueben smacks him on the arm before handing Layla over to him. “The kids are all ours, so there’s no need to feel left out. It’s like we decided, we will not get a DNA test because there’s no need for that.”
“Yes, we love our babies just as we love you, and we always will. Nothing else matters as long as we continue to have you all in our lives,” Josiah says.
I smile sleepily. Weeks before my birth and immediately after I gave birth to the twins, I’d asked the guys if they were curious to find out whose babies they were, but they had given me the same answer on both occasions.
“We’ll raise them together without finding out whose they are. We don’t need that to love you or them.” Tanner flashes a smile at me.
True to their word, they’d asked that Burke be written as the babies' last name.
“Thanks, guys. I love you all so much,” I say, yawning.
“All right, that’s our cue.”
The guys place kisses on my head as Rueben herds them out the door, leaving me alone to have a blissful sleep.
The end.
