Not thinking clearly, she just blurted out, “Well, that explains why my stomach has been so upset this morning.”
Without warning both guys were on her. “What do you mean your stomach was upset. Why didn’t you tell us?” Logan asked. At the same time Duncan said, “Maybe you need to stay one more day.” They were both rubbing on her and petting her, and Cane knew that it was just as much for their comfort as it was for hers. They hadn’t stopped touching her in some kind of way since she woke up the first day.
“No, we are going home, and we are all getting in the bed and going to sleep. We all need the rest. I am okay to go home, but what I want to know is, are you both okay with me being pregnant. I mean, what do we do? How will we know whose babies they are? Do we want to know? What will they call you?”
“Cane, baby, calm down. It’s okay, we are happy about the babies,” Logan said, and Duncan nodded his head and smiled. “We will both be their fathers, and they will call us both Dad. We don’t want to know whose they are because we will both love them. As far as we are concerned, these babies are both of ours.”
They both hugged her, and she knew that everything would be okay. She didn’t know what she did to deserve these guys, but she loved them both more than anything and couldn’t wait to get home to curl up with them.
“I love you guys, and I can’t explain how happy I am about the babies. I never thought I would be able to have kids, and now you have given me two of them. I couldn’t ask for anything more.”
“I could think of a few things,” Duncan said with a sexy grin. “But first, let’s get you home and get you healed so I can show you all the things I’m thinking of.” He winked as Logan laughed.
Life can’t get any better than this, Cane thought as Logan scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the hospital.
Epilogue
Cane was so nervous she couldn’t stop shaking. She was getting married to two men today. She wasn’t having cold feet or second thoughts because she knew without a doubt that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with these two men, but she just couldn’t help but to be nervous. It had been three months since she had been kidnapped by Sam, and she was still healing. Also, she was three and a half months pregnant with twins, and she felt like a whale. She let Ali plan the wedding because she still felt guilty for letting Cane take a beating to keep her safe. Cane tried to explain over and over that there was no reason for Ali to feel guilty, but the girl wouldn’t listen, so Cane was hoping that letting her plan the wedding went a long way in easing that guilt. She had to admit that Ali did a really good job with everything. They were having it in the backyard, and she had a white tent set up with white lights underneath and dozens of bloodred roses everywhere. It was simple but beautiful. The dress Ali picked out for her fit perfectly, even though it looked like she was carrying a beach ball underneath, but she wasn’t complaining. After being on bed rest for three months, Dr. Barnes finally said that she was past the danger zone and could get out of the bed as long as she didn’t push herself. Of course that was not a problem because Logan and Duncan never let her lift a finger. After the first few weeks from the hospital, she had to fight just to be able to go to the bathroom alone. There was only so much a girl could take, and using the bathroom in private was the one thing that Cane refused to compromise on.
“Are you ready?” Ali squealed, snapping Cane out of her thoughts.
Cane took a deep breath. “I am as ready as I will ever be.”
She lined up behind Ali who was her maid of honor with Jessica, the librarian, in front of her as her bridesmaid. Cane and Jessica had become really close in the three months that she was on bed rest, because she had nothing to do but read. Jessica brought her books twice a week and stayed to visit while she was there. She shared her secret with Cane that she was in fact J. Red the romance writer. Of course Cane already knew this from Riley, but she played along like it was new news to her. She watched as Riley escorted Jessica down the aisle with a huge grin on his face and couldn’t help but smile herself. Jessica was a lucky woman and didn’t even know it yet because Riley had his sights set on her, and he wasn’t giving up without a fight. Chase escorted Ali down the aisle and then it was Cane’s turn. As she walked down, she spotted Duncan and Logan, and they took her breath away. They were both gorgeous in their classic black tuxedoes with bloodred bowties and cummerbunds to match the roses.
She and Logan were already officially married, having signed the marriage license and taken their vows in front of Duncan earlier in private. So as of this morning she was Mrs. Cane Matthews-Summer. She applied to have her name legally changed to Matthews as soon as she got home from the hospital. She wanted to be able to take both of their last names since she was marrying both of them. Now they were having a small, private ceremony between them to bond the three of them together. They invited only a handful of people who knew about their relationship. They each took turns exchanging rings saying their own vows and Cane had to stop twice to keep from crying through hers. There weren’t enough words to express how much she loved them and how much her life had changed since they walked into it, but she was determined to show them every day for the rest of her life and she would start by convincing them to lift the no-sex ban that they imposed since she was placed on bed rest. Fighting not to smile, Cane watched her men as they received hugs and congratulations from their guests.
Oh yeah, she thought. They have no idea what they were in store for tonight, and she couldn’t wait to see the looks on their faces when they saw what she had planned. She had a feeling that life could only get better from here.
THE END
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee and have a degree in mortuary science. I am a single mother of a very active young son and was blessed to be able to take off work and become a stay at home mom when he was born. When I am not driving him to soccer, karate or one of the many activities that he participates in, you can find me curled up reading a romance novel, watching a movie, or writing. I have been writing short stories since I was in elementary school, but only recently decided to try and have one of my full length novels published. Submitting one of my stories to be published is a goal that I thought I would never have the guts to achieve, but now that I have, I hope there are many more to come.
