happen.”
Hannibal sighed. “Well, I guess we’re going to lose the ranch.”
Khan wasn’t going to let that ruin his day. He glanced over at his beautiful bride who was laughing with Ava and her sister Jodi. He had never seen her look so spectacular. Her chestnut hair fell over her shoulders in waves and she had a gorgeous strapless wedding dress on that she drove into the city for. She looked like an angel.
And she was all his.
“The year is not over yet,” Julius said with a nod. “We’ll see what happens.”
The four Vega brothers raised their glasses for a cheers.
Khan grinned. “Two down. Two to go.”
epilogue
Bailey sat on the warm grass twirling the new ring on her finger as she watched Khan and Liam wrestle on the lawn.
“Watch this, Mommy!” Liam said before throwing an imaginary fireball at her new husband.
Khan threw his arms in the air and hollered out in pain as he tumbled to the ground.
“Hey, don’t hurt him,” she said with a smile. “We’ve only been married for one day. I’d like to enjoy my new husband a little bit first before you destroy him with fireballs.”
But the truth was that she had already been enjoying him; all night actually.
Her wedding yesterday had been perfect. It was small and intimate with only the people that she loved there in attendance. It felt amazing to give herself over to Khan in an official way. It finally felt like her little family was complete. Liam got a father and she got a husband. It had been a good day.
Liam ran over, turned and plopped down in her lap. Bailey squeezed him in a hug and kissed the back of his head.
“Liam,” she whispered as Khan got up to his feet and walked over. “We have some good news to tell you.”
“What is it?” he asked in his squeaky voice.
Bailey smiled. She still couldn’t believe it. “Your daddy is not leaving. He’s going to stay with us.”
“Forever?” Liam asked.
Khan smiled and nodded. “Forever-ever.”
Her little man jumped out of her arms and tackled his father. Bailey smiled as she watched her two men roll around on the grass. She didn’t realize how much she had needed to see this, how much Liam needed a strong male presence in his life.
She felt so blessed that Khan was there to fill that need for him.
“Where are we going to live?” Liam asked when they finally separated.
“Here,” Khan answered. “Would you like that?”
Liam nodded his head vigorously with a big grin on his face. This was a dream home for a little boy. There were endless rocks to turn over, animals to see, forests to wander through, rivers and lakes to swim in, and fathers and uncles to wrestle with.
Liam glanced back at the gorgeous main house. “But I want to-”
A tiny bear cub exploded out of him while he was in mid-sentence. Khan chuckled as the little Kodiak bear wandered away towards the forest, ignoring his parents. Bailey grabbed the shredded pants off the ground and sighed. She had sewed them up so much already that they looked like Frankenstein’s skin.
Khan was watching the cute cub as it waddled away. “I guess I have some work to do,” he said. “He can’t be phasing out of control like that for long.”
Bailey took a breath of relief. She didn’t have to deal with this all by herself anymore. Liam’s constant phasing had caused her so much stress and grief over the past few months. It was always on her mind and always a worry. It would be nice to hand that part of Liam’s life over to someone who knew what they were doing. To hand it over to someone who knew how to help Liam learn to control his bear. Khan was a Godsend as far as she was concerned.
“He’s going to be able to control that one day, right?” she asked as Liam’s bear pounced on a blade of tall grass.
Khan nodded as he walked over to her. “Don’t worry about a thing,” he said, leaning down and giving her a kiss on the lips. “I’ll take care of everything. He’ll be able to phase in and
