Jess ran her hands across his face. Oh, how she loved this man. “I know so. Don’t you know you’re my hero? You charged into my world and rescued me before I knew I needed rescuing. You've made my every dream come true and then some.” She took his hand and rested their entwined fingers over her still flat stomach.
The garage door opened, interrupting anything else they might have said. They turned to watch Ondrej herd their older children and Tiffany Johnson through the door.
Jess’s heart broke for the sweet little girl. Not only had she lost a father, but the shock over what Cody had done had nearly killed his mother. Literally. Evie Johnson had had a severe stroke, and they were still unsure if she’d ever recover. As such, Tiffany had been spending a lot of time with them while Judge Johnson cared for his wife.
The house exploded into chaos, all five children trying to talk over each other. The older three talking about school, the younger two sharing the activities of home. Backpacks were thrown haphazardly onto the kitchen table and shoes were kicked off underneath it before they began raiding the refrigerator and cabinets for a snack. Their life might not be a sexy, glamorous story, but it was theirs, and Jess was so truly thankful for every moment of it.
She hugged each of her children bidding them hello, then took a seat and watched as Kayne got them settled down for a snack. Looking on, she had no doubt they’d found their happily ever after.
When Kayne looked up and caught hergaze, a huge grin on his face, his eyes alight with wonder; she knew he was thinking the exact same thing.
I love you, he signed against his chest. Forever, he mouthed, his hand still resting over his heart.
Jess covered her own heart and mouthed the words right back. Then added, With My Last Breath.
The End
