Riley's POV

I stared at my brother in awe. "Hunter?"

Hunter turned around from my brother and ran to me, hugging my knee. "I was talking to big buck, baby." I told him.

My brother, Hunter, walked through the door slowly. "I suppose I have a lot of explainin' to do."

I nodded my head in response. "Of course you do."

"Well, here's the story. After you guys got the news I died, my heart suddenly had began to beat. But, you guys were already gone and they didn't have mom's number. When I woke up they tried asking me, but I didn't want you guys to know. I figured it'd be easier for everyone to think I was dead than to watch me suffer through my recovery."

"Hunter, that was 2 years ago!" I yelled at him. Tears were filling my eyes.

"Momma, don't cry." Hunter told me. He reached up his little hand and wiped away my tear.

"What made you come back?" I asked my brother.

He sighed and sat down next to me. "When I had my baby boy." I looked up at the ceiling to prevent myself from crying. Hunter grabbed my arm softly and I looked at him. "Hey, I want you to meet him."

"I want to meet his mom too." I told him.

Hunter paused a few moments before saying, "His mom died a couple days after we got released with him. Her horse bucked her off into the pond, she got her leg caught in a branch of a fallen tree and she drowned."

I covered my mouth with my hand in shock. "I am so sorry, Hunter." I hugged him tightly. "How old is your son?"

"He's 2 weeks old now. His name is Gannon."

"I really like that name." I smiled at him.

"How about you, me and Hunter all go out to eat?" He suggested. I nodded my head.

"When do I get to meet this little guy?" I asked him.

"Tomorrow, he's with mom and dad right now." He told me. "Do you want me to stay here while you get ready?"

I nodded my head and walked over to my suitcase. All the boys left when Hunter came. They decided Hunter and I needed some alone time. I grabbed my clothes and walked into the bathroom. I changed into Hunter's old Camo hoodie, skinny jeans and my cowboy boots.

I dressed Hunter in a blue plaid shirt, jeans and his little cowboy boots. Once him and I were ready, we went down to the lobby.

Hunter smiled at me as I came out of the elevator with Hunter. All of this was just so crazy, my brother coming back, Hunter meeting Jack and being here with the guys. It's a small and crazy world.
