Some of the guys were getting married now. Luke was preparing for his own baby soon and spent a lot of time at our house observing our life. It would never be the same for him as every kid was different along with every household. I just enjoyed having him around for this. The other guys as well.
So many of them knew that I loved Rosie when we were kids. They came clean after her pregnancy was revealed and toasted me with beers at the local bar, making me laugh. I asked them why they didn’t tell me then, but we were so young. Our lives were suddenly separate, and we knew nothing about each other apart from gossip. Why would they tell me?
Now I watched as our families connected in time for Miriam to know what we had when we were younger. Business was discussed a lot still but as a partnership. It wasn’t a competition or even a war anymore, something it felt like to all of us. The moms adored Miriam and spoiled her together along with teaching Rosie some of the old traditions.
My sister didn’t know Rosie well since she was too young to remember everything. She loved her now though, and the kids were great together. There were several nights of visits and dinner, movies, and drinks. My brother married another doctor, and they had a baby just after Miriam was born, giving her another young cousin. I was certain that they were all happy with the turn of events and joined all of us for holidays and family dinners.
Overall, life was fucking great. It took some time to get there and a lot of pain, but I was with my girl now. I was making my family and happy as hell about it. I got to sleep beside the most beautiful woman in the world every night and watch her with our amazing daughter. I told her every day how much I loved her, so she’d never forget. I worked hard to support my family and encouraged her to write when she could.
