Niall has been trying to be her favorite uncle for the past few weeks but Brooks always brings her candy, so she always asks to see him. Niall just hasn’t figured out Brooks’s trick yet and I can’t wait to see his face when he does.

“No, he just left actually. Had to get home to Rae,” he tells her and she pouts.

“Hey, Faith,” Finn says, digging a packet of Skittles out of his bag.

“Uncle Finn!” Faith says, giving him a hug before she grabs the candy and I can see Niall putting the pieces together in his head.

“We should go. Faith wants to grab pizza on the way home,” I tell Jameson and he nods.

“See you guys tomorrow,” he tells his friends and I wave at them as I take Faith’s hand in mine again and we head for the door.

“How much candy do you think Niall is going to buy on his way home tonight?” Jameson whispers to me as he opens Faith’s car door for her.

I can’t help but laugh, but I know that he’s right. Faith’s dentist is going to love us.

“How are you feeling?” he asks as he opens my door for me.

“Hungry,” I groan as I rub my belly.

I’m just starting to really show and I feel like I’m always hungry lately.

“Pizza still okay?” Jameson asks and I smile.

“Only if you really want,” I say, knowing that he can’t have too much of it since he’s getting ready for his next fight.

“If my girls want it, then I want it,” he says and I smile and he leans in to kiss me.

“Come on, Dad!” Faith calls from the back seat and I grin as Jameson shakes his head and closes my door.

The baby kicks and I smile, smoothing my hands over the bump.

“I know, little one. You really do have the best dad.”

FIFTEEN

Five Years Later…

“Are you sure?”Kit asks me and I nod.

“Yeah, it’s time,” I tell him and he gives me a smile and a clap on the back.

“I can’t complain. It’s going to be nice to have you all around here more often,” he says as we start to walk out of his office at King’s Gym.

I’ve just signed on to be a new coach and trainer here along with Niall, Brooks, and Finn. Finn will just be volunteering now and then, but it’s nice to have the gang back together again.

I’ve been boxing professionally for the last five years, but now that Phoenix is pregnant again, and with twins this time, I know that it’s time for me to be at home more.

I won my last fight, so I’ll be going out on top and I’m hoping that that helps me get a few more clients here.

“Plus, it will give you more free time to spend with Stella,” I tell Kit and he just grins.

He’s been asking us all to come work for him since we started talking about retiring and I know that he’s glad to be able to see more of us, but I’m sure that being with his wife more is also a pretty big draw.

“Speaking of wives,” Kit says, nodding toward the front of the gym and I turn to see Phoenix walking in.

“I’ll talk to you later,” I tell him and he just claps me on the shoulder again as I go to make my way over to my wife.
