Oh, Mama and Aunt Shirley. Are you watching?
“Marry me, Hannah. Let me give you and these children my name, my life…my love.”
“Yes.”
“I’m serious. I want to adopt these kids.”
“Yes.”
Joy swelled in him. He laughed and kissed her, twirled her around, charmed by the dazed look of elation on her beautiful face, by the single-syllable answers.
The cowboys cheered. Ian bounced in his seat, mimicking the approval. The baby between them kicked and tumbled, adding her blessings, too.
Hannah, her heart bursting, knew that she was home at last. She’d found herself. And she’d found her cowboy.
Ozzie and his buddies would get their wish—another woman in Shotgun Ridge—and babies.
And if Hannah had her way, she would give her Montana cowboy many more babies in the years to come.
