"Hey, can I ask you something?" I asked Caitlyn as I sat down against the counter.

"Sure, what's up?" She smiled looking up at me.

"Are you okay with me not being with your brother?" She smiled nodding her head.

"Yes, and I know if this any were any other situation it would be different. My brother is happy and that's all I want for him. You two have a pretty good thing going so we all get to see Rowan."

"I just wanted to be sure. Unlike the rest of the family you will be around me more." She smiled squeezing my hand in reassurance.

"Maybe meeting Lucas was a blessing. I gained four sisters and a brother along with all the nieces and nephews. Most importantly I got my amazing little boy. Your whole family is so amazing and I'm forever grateful for everything they have done."

"We take care of our own and you will always be family." She came around the counter pulling me into her arms. Tears rolled down our faces as we held each other.

"What is going on here?" Blake's voice pulled us apart. I turned to my brother and Dominic looking at us worried.

"Everything's fine." Caitlyn pulled away and went over to Blake while Dom came over to me. I smiled wrapping my arms around his waist.

"You okay?" I nodded looking up at him.

"Better now you're here." I smiled leaning up to kiss his cheek.

"I knew this day would come, but still." Blake said making me look at him.

"Sorry not sorry. Thank you, guys, for dinner but we should get going."

"We will see you guys later. I want to see my nephew next time." I nodded giving them both a hug before we headed back to the apartment.

I walked over and curled up with him on a couch. He smiled pulling me onto his lap wrapping his arms around my waist.

"So, what were you and Caitlyn talking about?"

"I just wanted to make sure she was okay with us being together. Out of all the sisters she's going to be seeing us the most."

"And is she?"

"Yea. Her brother is happy, and Rowan is happy and well taken care of."

"You're happy right?" I smiled leaning in pressing my lips to his kissing him softly.

"Yes. I couldn't be happier." He smiled flipping me over, so my back was pressed against the couch. His lips came crashing down on mine as I wrapped my arms around his neck. I moaned wrapping my legs around his waist pulling him to me.

"Kins." He stopped pulling away pressing his forehead to mine.

"What's wrong?"

"I want this you, but I don't think you're ready."

"What are you talking about?"

"Kinsley, I love you. I know you love me as a best friend." I nodded understanding what he was saying. Ever since I can remember Dom has always been there for me.

"Dominic Jackson I am in love with you." I smiled while he looked me over and smiled.

"I've been waiting along time for you to say that."

"I'm so sorry."

"For what?"

"For everything I put you through."

"I'm not going to lie it was rough. You were happy and that meant maybe that was how it was supposed to be."

"This is how it's supposed to be. It's always been me and you. I was just too stupid to realize it."
