Sitting in Dad's office listening to them talking about a new stable goes over my head.

"I'll get something drew up and you let me know if it's how you want it," Dad said.

"Sounds good. Maybe something that would be easier for us when delivering babies." Luke said.

"Poppy, are you even listening?" Dad asked.

"No, not really. I mean I'm good with whatever you guys want." I shrugged.

Mom stuck her head in the room. Poppy come to the makeup room." She  said.

"I'll let you two talk." I laughed getting up and following mom.

"What's up mom?"

"I wanted you to see the new lipgloss colors in your name." She smiled.

"I had no idea but I like them," I said as she placed them in my hands.

"Do you feel like doing another signing?" She asked.

"Uhhhh I mean I guess if I have to." I laughed.

"It would mean a lot. I still hear talk of the last one when women come in the store." She smiled.

"You know I'll do anything for you mom." I smiled handing those glosses back to her.

"Great I'll schedule it and we can work around whatever you guys have going on." She smiled and patted the bench beside her.

I set down beside her... "Sounds like a plan."

"Here take these to Daisy I'm sure she would appreciate them." She said.

"Why don't you give them to her at Sunday dinner? She loves that her son is married to THE Holland Kane Mavericks daughter." I laugh.

Mom giggles... "How is married life?"

"It's great mom. I never dreamed I could be this happy." I smiled over at her just as dad and Luke walks in the doorway.

"Are you ready to go pick some apples, Poppy?" Luke asked.

"Poppy Appleseed." Dad laughed.

"Ha ha, so funny dad," I smirked at him.

I hugged mom goodbye and headed out to the side by side with Luke and Romeo.

"So what did your mom want to show you?" Luke asked.

"New lipgloss in my collection. She was asking if I would come to do another signing."

"Oh did you say yes?" He asked.

"Of course she doesn't ask often and she had some for your mom but I told her to give them to her at Sunday dinner," I said.

"Oh, mom loves when Holland gives her stuff." He laughed.

"I know that's why I said it. I must admit your mom has an awesome daughter-in-law." I laugh.

"Yes she does and I have a beautiful wife." He said as we pulled up.

"Can we just sit here and make out in our wedding spot?" I laughed.

"That would be yes." He said leaning over for a kiss.

"Did I ever tell you about my parent's first kiss?" I asked.

"No don't think so." He said.

"They were almost in this spot eating green apples when mom bit into one and it squirted juice and some was on her face and well dad the smooth animal that he is kissed it off." I giggle.

"Wow, he did more than just go into business with your mom that day." He laughed.

"Oh, Luke!" I laugh.

"How about an apple to eat before we pick some?" He asked.

"Sure just throw one to Romeo first." I laughed looking at him. He was more than ready to get the ball.

Once we returned to the stables I went to feed Cotton and the other horses while Luke made his rounds.

Hart walked up and put his arm around her. "What's up, sis?"

"Just went gathered apples and feeding these guys... you?"

"Waiting on dad to go to the lumber store. He wants to get on this stable like today." He laughed.

"You know how dad is with projects but I'm excited about it because it will be easier for us when it comes to birthing," I said.

"Cinnamon is a cutie. I've gone to check on her several times today." He smiled.

"She's a beauty! So umm how are you really Hart?"

"I'm doing good. I go to meetings and I've been seeing a dr regularly to stay on track and all I see are you guys. I stopped going to that gym." He said.

"Well if you need anything you know that I am here for you as well as Luke."

"I appreciate that Poppy. It's a struggle but I'm ok." He said.

I was hugging him as Luke walked in the door. "Hart your dad is looking for you."

"Thanks, man! Gotta go buy stuff." He laughed walking out of the stables.

"He ok?" Luke asked.

"Yeah, that's what I was asking him." I smiled at Luke as he gave Champ an apple and nose rubs.

"Sounds like your dad is ready to get started on the stable we talked about." He said handing me another apple.

After we finished feeding the horses we went to check on the piglets. "They are so cute I want to keep them all." I laugh.

"Ok Holland jr. You cant keep all of these cute little piglets." Luke laughed.

"But they are so cute just look at them." I smiled at him.

"They all look really good and will be ready to sell at the fair. Speaking of the fair I have only gone to one but it wasn't that fun. I'm hoping it will be better with you." He said walking over to kiss me.

"Oh, we are going to have fun. We will have pig races and eat caramel apples and dances." I smile.

"Well, you make it sound fun." He said as he picked up a piglet and cuddled it in his arms.

"Hey no getting attached as you tell me." I smile.

"I can't help it they are so cute." He smiled.

I pulled my phone out and took a pic of him holding a piglet.

We finished our chores and headed up to the big house to have dinner with the family.
