“Knox. Tell me that’s not ours,” I say slowly.

He shifts on his feet. “It’s safer.”

I turn to him, my mouth falling open. “You bought me a minivan?”

“For you and the kids,” he corrects immediately.

I laugh. I can’t help it. “Knox!”

“What?” he asks, defensive but smiling. “It has all the safety features. And more space. And⁠—”

“You bought a minivan before I even knew I was pregnant.”

He shrugs. “I knew.”

I stare at him for a second longer. Then I launch myself at him. He catches me easily, wrapping his arms around me like he always does.

“You’re ridiculous,” I murmur into his chest.

“You love it.”

“I love you,” I correct.

His grip tightens. “Good.”

I lean back, looking up at him, my heart full to bursting. “We’re really doing this again.”

His hand slides down, covering my stomach again. “Yeah,” he murmurs. “We are.”

I smile. It’s crazy how life has changed for me in the last five years. I’m no longer scared or running. I’m not alone anymore. I have Knox. I have Rosie and a home, and now we have another little piece of us on the way.

“I think I like the minivan,” I admit.

His grin is instant. “I knew it! As soon as I saw it, I knew you’d like it.”

I roll my eyes, but I’m smiling as I lace my fingers through his. “Come on. We should tell Rosie that she’s going to be a big sister.”

He doesn’t move, not right away. Instead, he pulls me closer, pressing a kiss to my lips. It’s soft and certain. A promise of forever.

“My family,” he murmurs against my mouth.

And for the first time in my life, I know exactly where I belong.
