game out of it and before we know it we are finished. She smiles as she puts the last of her folded clothes in her new dresser. I look up and see Soma standing in the doorway. She grins as she looks around the room that is now finished. “It looks great sweetie. You and daddy did a great job.” She tells her. Leah looks up beaming at her mother. Mother and daughter are so very beautiful that I am left speechless that they are mine. Pride in my family has me jubilant for the future and any more children we will add to this picture. I lift Leah into my arms before I pull Soma against me. I have everything I need in this world, right here. “Lunch is ready and Peter is here. He is starting on the lawn. He brought some help.” She says with a cocky grin. I want to laugh because I know that smile. It means she is up to something. I can only imagine. I go and look out the window and see him and two boys, pulling equipment down from his truck. “Whose boys are those?” I ask as I turn back to Soma. She is smiling and I know it has to be some good gossip if it has her this riled up. “Charlie’s” She beams up at me as though it were answer enough. I start laughing. Yes, my friend certainly has his hands full. I hope he knows what he’s doing. If he feels half as good with her as I do with Soma, then I know he has truly found something worthy of his love. My best friend truly has a big heart. I know I sound like a woman but I want to see him happy with a family of his own. I know better than anyone how happy a good woman can make you and add my daughter. I have never been happier. Now, I just need to convince my woman on forever. She sits a plate full of grilled cheese sandwiches on the large dining room table that was delivered this morning. She was right, as usual, it is perfect in our kitchen. She ladles up some chicken noodle soup and hands me a bowl before getting her own. When we are all sitting around the table, I look at my family and smile at what a lucky son of a bitch I am. “I think we should start working on our room next.” Soma says and I have to agree. I want to break in our new bed. I have many ways of doing that in mind. I notice that Leah is starting to droop while she eats and I know it won’t be long before I can have Soma to myself. “Our room sounds perfect.” I must have shown where my thought are because she rolls her eyes at me and I can’t help but laugh. I can’t help it that my favorite place to be happens to be inside of Soma. It isn’t just her body that draws me to her. She is smart and sassy. She doesn’t have a problem telling me her mind. She is a caregiver and loves with her whole heart. She doesn’t do anything by half measures. She only knows one way, all in or out. I didn’t mention her looks because it was only the surface and what drew me in initially. She was one of those girls that is stunning yet doesn’t know it. Yes, a rarity among females. She spends less time getting ready than I do most of the time. I should never have walked away. It is the reason I never did move on. What woman could possibly compare to her? I knew that I would only be more miserable if I tried to move on. Leah slumps forward on top of the table, her hand still full of her sandwich. She is the cutest little girl. I know I am biased. Soma laughs as she gets up and grabs a wash cloth. She comes over and cleans her up. “Leave me lone.” Leah says as Soma washes her face. I chuckle and then pick her up as soon as Soma finishes. I carry her up to her room and tuck her into her new bed. I kiss her cheek before leaving and shutting the door until it’s cracked open slightly. I go back down and lift Soma up and throw her over my shoulder. She squeals and I slap her on the bottom. “What do you think you’re doing, Chase?” She asks upside down as she pinches my butt. I slap her on the ass again. “We need to break in our bedroom.” I tell her as I carry her up the stairs. I rush to
