on what first—sibling rivalry.
Chuckling, he winked at his wife as she appeared from inside, and he pulled her gently onto his lap. He loved these nights of being able to cuddle Emma against him while they watched Chloe and their two children playing before it was their bath time.
The past years with Emma had been the best of his life. His love for her had only grown since the night he rescued her in The Club. Not a day had gone by that he hadn’t told her or shown her how much she meant to him. It had always been important to him that she knew he loved her so much. Their age difference had taken him a bit to get used to, but with her love and patience, he’d stopped worrying and accepted that they really did have a future.
Which was why they’d decided to build their own home once they’d arrived in Montana with Janie. In the end, no one wanted to leave her behind and, with no family of her own, it hadn’t taken much persuasion on their part.
She was a godsend and helped Emma around the house and with the children, more so lately while his beautiful Emma was heavily pregnant with their third child and needed her rest.
He’d never been so happy.

E mma knew that within five minutes, Jason would be in a full out panic so, for now, she wanted to relish the peace and quiet that surrounded them, and she settled against her handsome husband. The children played as Chloe looked on, which had a smile teasing her lips.
Chloe had taken really well to their move all the way to Montana, and especially to the arrival of her niece and nephew. Even at ten, Emma knew that Chloe would make a wonderful mother one day. It was in her nature. She’d love to see Chloe’s children and wondered if they would have the blonde hair that her sister had or the big blue eyes that she only had to flash to get what she wanted.
Jason had been wrapped around Chloe’s little finger from the day in the park, and nothing had changed. He could never say no to her, which was probably why, when she asked him something, he would always reply, “Ask your sister.” His way of getting out of it.
She had no complaints and loved Jason with all her heart.
They couldn’t wait for their third child to arrive, which would be tonight. She’d been having contractions for the past few hours but didn’t want to say anything because Jason would have them to the hospital before she could breathe.
But before she could announce her need for the hospital, Jason’s hand froze on her belly as another contraction took her breath away.
“Your stomach went hard...Emma?”
“I think, maybe, we might need a trip to the hospital...tonight,” she confessed.
Jason dropped his face into her neck and breathed. In and out, in and out. “Are you sure?”
“Hmm.”
“Fuck... Are you okay? What do you need? Tell me, Emma.”
She smiled at his panic and turned her face to look at him. “I only need you. I love you.”
“God.” Jason let out a shaky breath. “I love you so much, honey, but I think we need to say goodbye to the kids and tell them their baby brother or sister is on the way.”
Robert was born three hours later.

alya, I’m not sure about this,” I moan, worrying at my bottom lip with my teeth.
“Look, you said you wanted to change. So I’m helping you do that.” She grins. “You were hot on that pole at class, which makes me think you’ve done something like that before.” She raises a brow in question.
I squirm in discomfort, not really wanting to admit to my past but this is my
