Epilogue

“Daddy,do not forget to give Bella her sugar cube before bed,” Sophie tells me while she feeds her horse Bella an apple. Sophie is a little care taker. Bella injured an ankle, and Sophie has been watching over her all week. Last night I caught her sleeping in the barn. She said she had to be there in case Bella needed her. I know she’s a nervous wreck about leaving her to go spend the night at Hannah and Beau’s house. They offered to watch Sophie and Max for us. To give us a break.
“I promise to give her a sugar cube before bed.” I kneel in front of her and take her little hands in mine. “Don’t worry Sophie, Bella will be in excellent hands tonight. Mommy is a veterinarian and she will make sure Bella is well taken care of.” I assure her.
I can see the relief wash over her, knowing her mom will take care of her horse. “Thank you, daddy.” She is so much like Charlotte. Watching out for all the animals at the farm. Six years old and already recusing injured birds and bunnies around the property. Sophie has already told us she wants to be a veterinarian, just like her momma. Max is only six months old, so I’m excited to watch him discover the world.
“Sophie, Aunt Hannah is here,” Charlotte calls out from the barn door. My head instinctively turns to my wife. The sun is shining behind her, making her look like an angel.
“Okay mommy, I’m coming.” Sophie starts to run towards the door, forgetting to give me a hug goodbye.
“Sophie, where’s my hug goodbye?” I call after her. She spins around and runs straight into my waiting arms. I scoop her up and spin her around. Her little giggles filling the barn.
“Goodbye, daddy, I love you.” She gives me a kiss on the cheek and I set her back down on her feet. Watching her skip out of the barn. I close the door on Bella’s stall, then walk over to my wife.
“Hello beautiful.” I greet my wife with a kiss. “Hello to you too, little man.” I kiss Max’s chubby little cheek before following them out to Hannah’s car. Hannah takes Max from Charlotte and gets the kids loaded up in the car. Charlotte gives the kids one last goodbye kiss. We both watch as they drive away. I already miss them.
“Think they are going to survive the night with both kids?” I ask looping my arm around her curvy waist as we walk back up to the house. This is the first time Hannah and Beau have taken both the kids for the night.
“Not a chance. But it will be a good test for when they have kids.” Charlotte laughs. My wife has a beautiful laugh. She gets more beautiful with each passing day. She’s curvier since having the kids. I can’t keep my hands off of her.
“What would you like to do tonight, sunflower? Dinner out. Maybe a drive in the impala?” I offer. I would much rather spend the night in bed with my wife. Preferably naked and screaming my name.
“I think I would much rather have a nice hot bubble bath with my husband. Followed up by cuddles and orgasms,” she says, slipping her dress off as she climbs the stairs to our room. I follow the trail of clothes to our bathroom, where I find my wife naked and filling the tub. I lean against the doorway, watching her and thinking, what a lucky bastard I am that she chose me.
