Brynnon nodded against her pillow. “Okay,” she answered quickly.
Grant’s broad shoulders fell as he sighed a breath of relief. “Thank Christ.”
His reaction to her response made her giggle. She hid a wince when a twinge of pain pulled in her back, refusing to let anything ruin this crazy, wonderful moment.
Very gently, Grant leaned down, pressing his lips to hers. When he pulled back, his smile widened, lighting up his entire face...and her world.
“In case you’re wondering,” she smiled back at him. “I love you, too.”
With cocky wink, he said, “I know.”
Brynnon laughed, immediately groaning from the pain. “Oh, God. Please don’t make me laugh.”
His whispered apology was followed by another sweet kiss. Looking her square in the eye, the bossy man let her know, “Just so we’re clear, I want it all. Marriage. Babies. The works.”
The beeping increased again, her new tears filled with happiness. “I want that, too, Grant. More than anything, I want that, too.”

Epilogue
Five weeks later...
“Aw...”
“Oh, my gosh! That is so freaking adorable!”
“I love it so much. Thank you!”
From the back of the room, Grant took a sip from his beer to hide the smile working its way to the surface.
If someone had told him two months ago he’d be attending a baby shower, he would’ve told them they were crazy. If they’d asked if he ever thought he’denjoyone, his answer would have been an immediate, “Fuck. No.”
Yeah, well...a lot of things can happen in two months.
His eyes slid to where Brynnon was sitting with the other women of R.I.S.C. With Charlie—Derek’s fiancé—at the helm, they’d all banded together this past week to throw Jake and Olivia a surprise baby shower.
