What I didn’t know was that someone had watched me do it, and it changed her entire outlook on how she saw me.
Tatum
We arrived home in a convoy of sorts.
To see all the vehicles going thirty miles an hour all the way home because we had precious cargo had caused me to laugh.
We had stayed in the hospital for a week.
And now, we were almost home.
And I couldn’t wait to be in my home.
In my bed.
I felt my man’s eyes on me from the front seat, and he winked.
The moment we arrived home, Dom was there, taking Sage’s baby carrier out, handing her to Garrick, and then he was helping me out of the car.
Garrick looked pissed.
But Dom said, “Know you, brother. You want to carry your baby in, and you don’t want your woman to struggle getting up the stairs. I got her for you.”
Garrick growled but nodded.
Dom’s arm was around my back as Garrick walked at my other side.
Neither one of them was in a hurry.
And I was thankful.
That night, while everyone stayed and helped get the things that had been dropped off by the town’s people, I leaned back in my seat and sighed as I watched my man without a shirt on, rocking Sage in his arms.
Thankfully, Harlee winked at me and took a picture.
Misty
My boy was a strong man.
He was just like Frank.
He stood strong.
He stood proud.
And as I watched him as he cuddled his newborn daughter to his chest, I knew right then that I couldn’t have called up the line and ordered a better father for that little baby.
Carter
When Garrick told me what he was going to do, never before have I been prouder of him.
He had informed all of us the second day they were in the hospital that since Tatum was his one and his only, and since she couldn’t ever get pregnant again, that he was going to do something about it for himself.
So, when they pushed him back into the room that Tatum and Sage occupied, he smiled and winked at Tatum.
Who had tears streaming down her cheeks.
My brother, one of the best men I knew, had gotten a vasectomy for his woman.
