LONGEST AND LAST CHAPTER! 652 WORDS!

Jace's kids (in order from seven, seven, and two) are Daxton Cody, Heath Cooper, and Elena Bell. Reed's kids (six, four, and four) are Damien Walker, Archer Leon, and Kyle Aaron. Cade's kids (eight and five) are Erin Beth and Sarah Clemens. Beck's one kid (three) is Talon Reece. Of course they all have the last name Sadler, including myself.

I'm a very lucky girl, and I'm very happy living in this house with all my children. We did have to expand the house to be able to accommodate all the children, but it works well for us. Haven had three kids, all boys. Spencer Lawrence is seven, Tanner Raymond is six, and Zachary William is three. It's been great.

"Mom! Come on! I'm bored!"

"You know what. I want everyone to put on their shoes. Now!"

It takes about ten minutes, but soon everyone has shoes and a jacket on.

"We are going to take a walk around the property. Please be careful, and we'll say hi to your fathers, okay?"

I get cheers as we head out the door. It takes about five minutes before we see Beck helping clean the barn. He greets me with a kiss and says hello to the kids. We walk around the property, the kids taking in the sprawling land, cows, horses. 

The only thing I can focus on is my horniess when looking at my hot, sweaty husbands, working in cowboy hats, white t-shirts, and dirty jeans. My pregnancy hormones have been making me incredibly insufferable when it comes to making love. It's hard to function on a daily basis when all I want is my bones to be jumped by my husbands.

Plus, being pregnant and taking care of nine kids, even with help, is difficult. I'm not one to complain, since I've been through hell and back, but I need a night to relax. Every night is a pain, but I love it. I really do. There's nothing like being a mother, but it can be hard. I'm not going to lie and say it's all hunky dory. There have been mistakes made, but I love it and there's nothing more I would ask for. 

"I'm tired."

"Alright, Erin. Let's go back to the house, kids!"

"Okay, momma."

We wave goodbyes to my husbands as we pass them, but once we get back to the house, I let the kids go inside while I stay on the porch. I place a hand on my stomach as I sit on the porch swing. I lay my head against the wood back of the swing. I close my eyes, feeling little kicks under my hands. 

I smile as I think about the future of this child. My tenth child. Holy shit. This is my last one, unless the boys each want to have three. After that, I'm finished. Twelve kids is enough for me, and I'm not willing to have anymore. I'll go on birth control. I don't care. I'll get my tubes tied, but I can't deal with more than twelve kids.

"Hey, baby girl. How are you feeling?"

I open my eyes to see Cade standing there.

"I'm tired but good. The baby's kicking."

"Really? I have been waiting!"

"Come here and feel."

Cade sits next to me, placing a hand on my belly and a kiss on my temple. We sit there in a comfortable silence, feeling the baby kick. Cade places a kiss on my lips.

"I love you so much."

"I love you too."

"Why don't you relax here, and I'll feed the kids dinner? Beck's coming in too, so we'll all help out."

"I'm fine with relaxing right here. Thank you."

"Of course. Don't you move an inch."

That's how the rest of the night goes. My four husbands taking care of their children and putting them to bed. They diligently spoon feed me my second dinner before helping me get to bed.

"Goodnight, beautiful wife."

"Goodnight, my loves."
