She looked at her men each in turn and smiled. This was real love. Ava opened her mouth and let out a little moan.
Connie laughed and was overcome with joy as Ava started to try to nuzzle her. She didn’t think there was any way she could be happier at this moment, but knowing her men, they always had a surprise up their sleeves.
Epilogue
Ten years later
“ … and then Daddy said that I shouldn’t be nice to boys that they’re evil and I should find any reason I can to forget about them because they’re horrible human beings,” Ava said.
Connie paused as she sprinkled some of the cheese, vegan friendly for Scott, onto the lasagna she’d made.
Ava nodded, slapping her hands on the counter. “What do you think, Mom?”
She loved her talks with her eldest daughter. Her youngest, Katherine, was currently making a mess of the tomato sauce she’d given her.
In the distance, she heard her middle child, Charlie, playing on a video game. He was only allowed on it if he got extra credit or awards at school. Beau had set a restriction on all devices for the kids. He didn’t want them to become addicted.
“What do I think?” Connie asked. “I think your dads want you to stay away from boys because they know how much trouble they are.” She winked at her.
“They are trouble,” Beau said, coming into the kitchen. He was covered in grease as her car had decided to finally give up on her, and he’d been fixing it all afternoon. He banded his hand around her waist, covering her apron in oil. She was thankful she’d already put the lasagna in the oven.
Ava giggled.
“What do I smell?” Scott asked, coming through the front door. Ava rushed toward her dad, pulling him into the room.
Beau had let her go as Scott kissed her. Now Ava was hugging Beau, and her clothes were all dirty. “Can I help fix the engine? Can I? I’m all dirty now and I’ve been studying on engines. Please, Daddy, please.”
Ava had a love for all things mechanical.
“Go ahead. So long as all of your homework is done.”
“It is, I’ve already checked.”
Ava was gone like a lightning bolt.
“We’ve got another little mechanic in our midst,” Beau said.
Scott and Beau turned their attention to her as Katherine rubbed her hands in tomato sauce.
Beau and Scott each put their hand on her stomach. “How are you?”
“I’m fine.” She always suffered with terrible morning sickness. With three kids to look after, she was finding it hard to keep it in control, but she wasn’t going to let anyone else take her kids to school or pick them up. The sickness would pass.
“I love you two, so damn much.”
Ten years they’d been together. They had difficult times, like any couple. Beau had to seriously consider selling the shop at one point, but they’d been able to gather the funds to keep it open. Then Scott had a fall and broke his leg in two places, and he didn’t think he’d be able to train again. Her bar suffered a huge fire and she lost everything, but it had been rebuilt and was now thriving.
All trials and tribulations, but together, they had faced it. Through the roughness of life, and the joy of their kids and each other. Just the way it was supposed to be.
They were her men, just as she belonged to each of them.
