“Who?”
“Us.”
“Okay, I know pregnancy fried a few of my brain cells, but last I looked, we’re already married.”
Blake leaned forward and kissed the confusion away. When he lifted his lips from hers, he explained. “Last year we deprived all of our friends and family of witnessing our elopement. We both know the reason as to why… but I don’t want anyone to question my love for you ever again. From this anniversary forward, we are going to renew our vows in a different state each year.”
Sam displayed her guppy mouth. “Every year?”
“Isn’t that romantic?” Gwen asked at her side.
“And when we run out of states, we’ll move on to Europe.”
A crazy rush of tears gathered behind Sam’s eyes as she stared at her incredible, loving husband. “You’re nuts. You know that, right?”
“I used more choice words than that,” Carter said.
“Don’t use them now. There’s a baby in the room.” Eliza waved a finger in Carter’s direction and was met with a wink.
“A wedding on each anniversary?”
Blake nodded once. “As simple or elaborate as you wish. Every other year one of us plans it, or maybe we’ll give the job to someone else to figure out.”
Gwen clapped her hands. “Oh, I want next year. I have the perfect theme for a Texas wedding.”
“Themes?”
“I’ll take Hawaii on your fifth,” Eliza chimed in.
Oh, lord, this crackpot group was jumping in feet first. Much like she did when she said ‘I do’ to Blake the first time.
“What the heck. I’m in.”
“That’s my girl.” Blake pulled her closer, the heat and comfort of his arms wound around her like a blanket.
“I’ll tell the minister we’re almost ready,” Eliza said as she walked away.
“I’ll check on the caterer.” Mary started toward the kitchen.
“When did you plan all of this?” Sam asked as their family and friends filed out of the room.
“You and Eddie nap a lot.”
Sam laughed and shortly after tried hiding a yawn behind her hand. “The doctor said Eddie should be sleeping through the night by the third month.”
Blake kissed her forehead. “Just don’t fall asleep before you say I do.”
Samantha placed her palm on the side of Blake’s face and lifted up on her tiptoes. “Oh, I do! A thousand times over, I do!” Then she sealed her vow with a butterfly-inducing kiss.
