“Really?” I asked.

Madison nodded.

“You’ve grown a lot. You’re such a devoted mom, and you’re so aware of everything around you. I think you’re more responsible than me now,” she said with a soft laugh. “You’re just… happier.”

“I guess that’s the magic of love,” I replied as I gave her a grateful look. That was really nice to hear because I did believe that I had changed a lot for the better. The world seemed so much brighter and promising now that I had gotten my life together and figured out what I truly wanted.

“It’s the most powerful thing ever. I’m glad you’re under its spell like I am,” Madison said.

That was a spell that I never wanted to break.

“We have to do this again, but you have to bring everyone!” I told her, wanting both of our families to get together.

“Soon!” Madison promised, hugging me one more time before getting into her car.

I waved goodbye before heading inside, seeing the guys spread throughout the main floor. I smiled to myself. This was home. This was everything.

“Angel,” Auden said, holding his arm out as he laid on the couch.

I happily bounded over to him, laying on his chest as he held me close. I fell into his warmth, taking in his citrusy cologne. My eyes swept around as the guys smiled in my direction, and I knew that we were going to have a long, happy life together.

This was only just the beginning.

Epilogue: Aisling

A few months later

I stumbled forward as Lincoln walked behind me with his hands over my eyes.

“Don’t walk me into a wall!” I laughed as he guided me.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Lincoln chuckled. “Just keep moving forward. We’re almost there.”

I took five steps before he pulled me to a stop. I had no idea what was up. All he told me was that he had a surprise for me upstairs and that I couldn’t look until I was right there.

“Is it a puppy?” I asked, lifting my eyebrows.

Lincoln laughed.

“Nope. We have our hands plenty full with Adder,” he reminded me.

He definitely wasn’t wrong. Adder was the best handful ever, and he kept the nine of us on our toes all the time. He started sleeping longer at least, but he was a bundle of energy when he was awake. He loved grabbing and tossing his toys, and he especially loved peekaboo.

Even learning little things like that about him made me love him that much more.

“Does Kai still have Adder?” I asked.

“Adder has already seen the surprise,” Lincoln chuckled.

I listened closely and could hear light shuffling and the distinct sound of my son babbling. We weren’t alone.

“I’m dying to know this surprise!” I said, nearly bouncing on the spot.

“Alright, ready?” Lincoln asked.

“Ready,” I told him, my heart racing with excitement.

Lincoln pulled his hands away, and light flooded back into my vision, forming into definite shapes.
