anyone does have a problem with it, fuck em’. Besides, everyone we know supports us. No one has questioned it.”

I nod. “You’re right. We have these two boys to worry about now.”

Levi pulled into a parking spot and we made our way into the hospital. Nerves settled in my body. I hoped everything turned out okay.

We checked in, and got settled in a private room. Once the doctors were ready to wheel me back for the surgery, Levi tugged on my hand. “I’ll be right here when you wake up.” He bent down to kiss my forehead.

While the doctors wheeled me back, I watched Levi until I couldn’t see him anymore.

LEVI

It seemed like it was taking forever while I paced back and forth, through her room and up and down the hallway. In actuality, an hour passed before I saw the doctor approaching.

“Mr. Bateman. Ms. Raegan is out of surgery. She’s gonna be a little groggy coming out, but everything went smooth.”

I bent down, placing my hands on my knees. “Thank god.” Standing back up, I looked to the doctor. “Thank you so much.”

“We’re gonna keep her overnight, then if everything is still good, she’ll go home tomorrow.”

“Thank you. Thank you.”

“I can take you to her where she is recovering before they bring her to the room.”

“Yes. I want to see her.”

The doctor took me to where Rylee was resting. I was overcome with relief. A smile spread over my face as soon as I laid eyes on her. Tears of joy sprung from my eyes as well. I took hold of her hand and kissed her fingers.

“Hey, beautiful. The doctor said everything went smooth.”

I sat in the chair next to her bed. She barely had her eyes open so I knew she was still trying to wake up. Keeping hold of her hand, I squeezed it a few times. “I’m here, baby.”

“Hey. Are the babies okay?”

“Yeah. Doctor said everything is all good.”

She smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. The nurse came in to check on her and saw Rylee was awake and alert. “We’re gonna take you to your room now. We’ll keep an eye on you and see how you are doing tomorrow, so we can get you home.”

Rylee nodded in response. I couldn’t be more relieved. I wanted to focus on Rylee and the babies for the rest of her pregnancy.

“I brought you your favorite flavored milkshake,” I told her after I showed up the next morning.

“You are the best fiancé, ever,” she stated, reaching her hand out to take the shake. When she took a sip, she looked like she was in heaven. “This is the best.”

“Sorry I couldn’t sneak any more than that.”

“This is great.”

“How did you do overnight?”

“Let’s be honest, I didn’t sleep well. I needed you next to me.”

“Ditto.”

“Alright, Miss Raegan. We’re gonna get your discharge papers drawn up and you can be on your way,” the nurse said.

“Thank you.”

It wasn’t even an hour later before I was driving Rylee home.

“The doctor ordered you to rest the rest of the day and then you can start moving around some tomorrow.”

“Yes, Dr. Bateman.”

“Gotta take care of my fiancée and baby momma.”

“Ha ha.”

Arriving at the bed and breakfast, I assisted Rylee as we headed inside. “Welcome home,” my mom said, coming out of the kitchen. “How did it go?”

“Everything is good.”

“What a relief. I made some soup.”

“You didn’t have to go through the trouble, Becca.”

“Please. It was nothing. Go get settled in, and I’ll bring some over,” my mom suggested.

“Let’s get you settled into bed. Doctor said you have to take it easy for three weeks before returning to normal activity.”

Chapter Thirty-Seven

 

 

RYLEE

It felt like I’d been pregnant for two years. Thankfully, I was near the end of my pregnancy. The nursery was completed thanks to Levi and especially to his mom who was a big help when I was recovering from my surgery. The weekly doctor visits had all been good, and the boys were doing amazing. Now I was ready to meet them.

“All set for the ribbon cutting?” Levi asked about the bed and breakfast.

“Ready when you are.”

We stepped out front with some of our community looking on as we officially opened the bed and breakfast. A news crew was even there to film it.

“You do the honors,” I told Levi since this was mainly his project and baby.

“You sure?”

I nodded in response and smiled wide while I watched him taking the large scissors. He was grinning from ear to ear. It was so good to see his dream coming to life. He cut the ribbon and everyone cheered.

Once the babies came and I spent some time with them, I agreed to run the business account side of things since I would be able to do it while watching the boys at the same time. I was excited about this new venture ahead of us. Everything was changing and it was for the better.

I joined in while everyone clapped as we unveiled the name of the bed and breakfast called The Breakfast Grove. It was perfect. Levi came over, putting his arm around my shoulders, and kissed the side of my head. I was more in love with him now than ever before. And age, well, that was just a number. He had proved himself time and time again, and I couldn’t be happier.

Being thirty-four weeks along, I had to go sit and relieve my swollen feet. “I gotta go sit for a bit,” I told him as I started to head back inside.

“I’ll be right behind you.”

But right as I turned to make my way inside, I felt the liquid substance
