Gotta Have You, Cowboy (Ford Brothers Book 2)

Epilogue: Nathan

It is almost December and the cold weather is finally settling in. There has not been any snow yet this winter. You learn to live with the crazy weather in Oklahoma. It could be cold one day and hot the next; You get use to it after awhile. Lottie and I took a couple days to make a trip to her parents house in the city. The house is beautiful; a big family home with a yard for kids to run around in. The house needs some work before we can sale it. We decided to go through some of the stuff and this spring we will get it cleared out. She has packed up a few boxes to take back with us when we leave. I know this is hard for her; she has lived her whole life in this home. Where she grew up with her loving parents. A safe place to call home. She is trying her best to stay strong; I did notice a couple of tears on her cheeks. She is holding on and I could not be prouder. She is taking everything in stride now. She is breaking out of her shell and finding her true self.

She is not the only one changing. I have been changing more with each day that passes. I have became a better man just from having her by my side. She has brought out the man in me and the goofball still comes out, but not as much anymore. I still need to plan my payback on Bella. I have not had time to think much on it and I will wait till I have the perfect prank to pull on her. I know that I will not be the only one that will try to get her back. I know that Grayson is even thinking about joining in on the fun and that is saying a lot coming from him. He is the serious one, more serious than Lucas. Grayson does not even have kids, but he is the most serious out of all of us and always has been. He probably always will be.

Lottie is asleep beside me and sleeping peacefully. I do not understand how she can sleep through all this noise. I cannot wait to be back home and sleep soundlessly without all this noise. I am not use to it and I do not think I will be able to sleep. It is strange to be in her childhood home and sleeping in the room she grew up in. This has been her room her whole life up until she moved to Maud. That was the best thing that happened, she came into my life like a twister, and swept my heart up. I never thought that I would find my forever and I found her. It might have come with mountains to climb, but I would go through anything for her.

Everything has fallen into place since everything that we have been through. Veronica will be here in less than five months. She is healthy and growing every day; the precious gift that I will cherish every second of the day. Her and Lottie makes my life worth living. Everything that we have gone through got us here. Our lives are just beginning and I thank God every night for my little girl and her momma. I could never change my path, not when all the roads lead me back to her. I would not change it anyways, but if I did it would not make a difference. We still have a long road ahead of us with more bumps and turns along the way. Together we can climb any mountain and make it to the top. That goofball kid grew into a man.
