Jesse

Charlie stared at him for so long he was afraid he’d have to turn the job offer down. Finally, she squeezed his hand and spoke with excitement. “If this is something you want, I think you should do it. You’d make an excellent sheriff, and it would mean I’d have you home and not out bounty hunting. Yes, I love the idea.”
Jesse stood and put his arms around Charlie’s neck. “I thought I loved you as much as a man possibly could, but each day I find myself loving you even more.”
The election was held a month later, and Jesse won by a landslide, making him Sheriff Jesse Morgan. He decided to keep Marcus Campbell on as deputy.
Sean and Sophie hosted a celebration after the election at their ranch. All six of his bounty hunter friends attended, as well as Mac and Ida Kingsley. The judge and Geoff Barringer stopped in to congratulate him, as well. What touched Jesse the most was the proud look on his wife’s face. It made him feel like the luckiest man alive.
Epilogue
In early spring, when new leaves blossomed on the trees and flowers popped to life all over, a new life began at the Morgans' home when Angela Jane Morgan was born. It was an easy delivery, and the little person they’d made from their deep love for each other amazed Charlie and Jesse.
As the town grew, things weren’t always peaceful, but Jesse had a knack for cleaning up messes and keeping the town peaceful. He loved that each night at six-sharp, Marcus relieved him, and he could go home to his family.
His six bounty hunter friends visited with gifts, as did Sean and an increasing Sophia.
Jesse and Charlie still had fun together while someone stayed with baby Angela. They practiced shooting, had horse races, and made sweet love together.
Through the many years, and six children, Jesse and Charlie never tired of each other’s company and never had any regrets. Any disagreements they had were solved with sweet talk and love.
The End.
