“You’d be a great mom. You could still write music and tour. I’ll be your stay-at-home dad.”
I laugh at the thought. “You’re just a big thug.”
“Thugs can have kids, too.”
I take a sharp breath and bite my lip. I love the idea of having a family with him, but I’m afraid of what it’ll mean, what it might do to us.
But if there’s anyone in this world that can take care of all that, it’s Graham.
“Okay,” I say. “After the tour. We’ll start a family.”
“I love you,” he says, his eyes flashing.
“I love you too. I never imagined you’d want kids.”
“Never did before I met you. But I guess you’re making me soft.”
“I guess so.” I put my hand on his cheek, my hard man. He’ll never be soft, no matter what he thinks.
We kiss and he holds me tight. I know this is my future, just the two of us for now, and soon we’ll start our family. I don’t know how life will look after that, but I do know one thing.
Graham will do anything to make me happy, and that’s all I need.
My big man, my Marine, my Daddy.
