After working hard for so many years, I thought I would miss my time in the pilot’s seat, but he made sure I got plenty of time to fly even if it was usually just the two of us or him and some of the guys from the team. Being a pilot had come in handy many times over the years, allowing us the opportunity to see family and friends no matter how hard his schedule was.
Although the team didn’t win the gold, they did earn a bronze medal. An accomplishment we celebrated with the decision to start the next chapter of our life—one that included children. I got off the pill, and less than six months later, there was a plus sign on the pregnancy test Drake had insisted I use when I was being super cranky with him one morning. Staring down at it in my hand, I was struck by the fear that I would share the same fate as my mom when she had given birth to me. But all the worry that had lived inside me for the last eight and a half months was erased the moment I saw him looking up at me so trustingly.
“I’m so proud of you,” Drake whispered in awe. “Look what you did. He’s so perfect.”
He was a replica of his dad. The two men in my life who owned my heart.
“He really is. I can’t believe he’s finally here. Our little Tanner Jacob.”

Five more years later…
“Mommy!” Aubrey’s daughter, Veronika, ran up to us, blond pigtails flying behind and her face red from the exertion of playing with all the other kids. “Tanner isn’t really my cousin like Kassidy and Kennedy are, right?”
“No, baby. Auntie Lexi isn’t really Mommy’s sister, so Tanner isn’t really your cousin, but he’s just like family,” she answered.
“Good,” Veronika said with a satisfied grin on her face. “’Cause when I grow up, I’m gonna marry him,” she finished before racing off again.
“I think I’ve finally decided to forgive Drake for stealing away the chance I had of you and me becoming sisters when he swept you off your feet back in college,” Aubrey told me.
“Yeah, ‘cause now we might have the chance to be something even better together—grandmothers,” I replied as we watched Veronika chase after Tanner.
“If not with those two, then maybe the next round,” she said as she touched her flat stomach. She and Luka just found out a week ago that they were expecting again.
“Only if you get the boy this time,” I answered, rubbing my rounded belly. We were expecting a girl this time—one we were going to name in loving memory of my mom. Marie Anne Bennett.
