The past year has brought a lot of changes. Indy, Tinny, and I have all moved into a new house. When I bought my place here in Kentucky, I had a dream. Now, I have that dream and more. I have Indy, our daughter, and in a couple of months we will have our twins. One boy and one girl. That obviously required more bedrooms. Not to mention, I wouldn’t mind having another child or two in the future. So far, Indy hasn’t shut me down.
We found a house with six bedrooms and two offices. It also has a huge kitchen and living area. It’s a log home with lots of glass doors and floor to ceiling windows. My Indy fell in love with it. She still works three days a week in town. Working part time is truly what she wanted. This gives her time with her family and I’m sure not going to argue about that.
My woman actually loves living here in Kentucky. When Iva and Cooper bought my old place, it just made it better. I have most of my memories back—a few are hiding here and there. I don’t let it worry me. I’m too busy making new ones every day.
The doorbell rings and I give Indy a kiss before making my way to the door. Mom hugs me while simultaneously directing Skylar, Joker, Dom, and Thea where to put all the food she’s brought.
“Where’s the baby?” I ask Dom.
“Dad has her. They’re on their way,” he says over his shoulder as he follows Thea.
I look up at my father and grin at him. He wraps his arms around me and hugs me close. “Love you, son.”
That’s something he does often since I found my way back to Kentucky. I like it. We came close to losing one another and we will never take being together for granted again. “Love you, too, Dad.”
“Big Paw!” Tinny screams, running into the room. Dad picks her up and throws her up in the air, making her burst into a fit of giggles.
“There’s my girl.”
“C’mon, Big Paw. I want to show you our Christmas tree! I already have three presents under it! Mom says I’ve been a good girl!”
“That’s because you have!” Dad agrees and I just shake my head.
As the house fills with all my family and friends, I search out my beautiful Indy. Her head is thrown back in laughter, her stomach round with our babies. Suddenly, a memory pops into my mind. It’s one I’ve never had before.
It’s of the day my life was blown to hell. I remember standing outside a barbecue joint, waiting on Diego. I looked across the street and my eyes landed on the most gorgeous blonde I’d ever seen in my life. I remember wanting to go after her, claiming her right then. I almost had, but she began talking to another man. I felt so much disappointment, thinking she was already taken.
My lips spread into a huge smile. The blonde that day was Indy. I don’t know who the man was, but I know without a doubt it wasn’t anyone special to her. No, Indy is all mine. She always will be.
Just as I will always be hers.
