"Ma!" I hear Hope yell my name and I roll over in our bed groaning as I bury my face further into the pillow.

"Mommy said it's time for you to get up!" Hope says cheerfully as she jumps on our King sized bed.

I can feel her feet hit the bed all around me as she jumps up and down. I sneakily open one of my eyes to catch her not even looking at me and I make my move. I scoop my arm out and wrap it around her legs, causing her to fall back into the bed.

"Mama!" Hope squeals as I pull her into me underneath the covers and cuddle into her.

"Mommy says we're supposed to be getting up." Hope whispers and I feel her little fingers work their way across my face.

"Who said Mommy's the boss, maybe I'm the boss." I whisper and Hope just giggles.

"What are you two doing?" I hear from the doorway and I pull the covers over our heads telling Hope to be quiet in the process.

But my daughter just continues to giggle and I feel the bed dip.

Suddenly the covers are ripped off of us and as I open my eyes I spot my son jumping on the two of us in mid air.

I catch him before he slams his knee into my nuts. I spot my wife standing at the end of the bed with her very pregnant belly. Her hands are on her hips as she shakes her head looking at the three of us.

"Why don't you come and join us babe?" I softly call to my wife who just smiles and rolls her eyes.

"Come love on us!" I say goofily which causes the kids to both giggle.

I watch my wife laugh softly before crawling up into our bed next to me. The kids are in between us but Luka quickly changes that as he climbs on top of me.

"So what do you think Mommy's having, a boy or girl?" I ask Luka as he tries to fight with me.

"A boy!" He screams causing me to look at my wife who just shakes her head with a small laugh as she continues to run her fingers through Hope's long blonde curls.

"What about you Princess, what do you think Mommy is having?"

"A baby duh!" She says with some sass and I watch as Blake's bites her bottom lip as she tries to hold in her laughter.

"I know that silly, but do you think the baby is a boy or a girl?" I ask with a small eye roll.

"It's a girl." She says with a nonchalant smile.

"What about you my beautiful wife? What do you think this baby is?" I say as I use my free hand to cradle her very large bump.

Her eyes meet mine and we bask in the silence together. It's like she's communicating to me through her eyes what she thinks this baby will be. And I honestly can't wait.

"Mama!" I hear my two year old son say as he rushes towards me. I bend down and catch him in my arms.

"What's up buddy?" I say with the biggest smile as I pick him up in my arms.

"Horse!" He says as he points to the barn beside us and I can't help but chuckle.

"You want to go on a ride?" I ask and he nods his head. The two of us walk towards the barn and I open the door. As we enter I hear a few of the horses make themselves known and Tucker just giggles.

"Who should we take for a ride?"

"Stella!" He says as he points to the all white horse. Of course he wants to take his mother's horse out for a ride.

"Alright buddy, you sit right here while I get her ready to go." I say to my youngest as I sit him on the bench outside the stall.

Stella is the oldest horse we have and she's the sweetest. I get her harnessed and settled up before walking with her out of the stall. Tucker is still seated on the bench just like I instructed him.

Stella stays still as I walk towards my son. I scoop him up in my arms and I sit him on top of the horse. I quickly climb on after him and he sits directly in front of me. I let Stella know it's okay to start walking and she leads us out of the back of the barn and into the fenced property.

Tucker is all smiles and giggles as we ride throughout our property. This is exactly what I needed after working a very busy and chaotic day.

As we get closer to the barn I notice we have some people waiting on us. Blake stands at the fence with Hope and Luka by her side. Blake has a playful smirk on her face as we grow closer to them.

"We want to ride!" Hope yells and Luka yells in agreement.

"Does Mommy want a ride as well?" I say with a quirked eyebrow and a cheeky smile.

Blake rolls her eyes with a soft chuckle because she gets my underlying tone.

"Maybe later." She says with a smirk of her own and I can't help but smile.

"Who wants to go first?" I ask the two and Luka being the gentleman he is, let's his big sister go first. I hand Tucker off to Blake and I climb down off of the horse.

I then help my ten year old daughter climb onto the horse. I still can't believe Hope is ten years old now. She's been taking riding lessons so letting her ride Stella by herself right in front of us is okay. Stella will listen on command to my voice and Blake's. So if anything were to go wrong, we're right here.

She rides with such grace and eventually comes to a stop right in front of us. I grab the reins and help her get down before placing Luka on the horse. I climb on after him and the two of us take off into the property. He's grown into such an amazing little boy. He's still a little shit when it comes to Blake though, and I can't wait until he gets a girlfriend of his own. I'm going to tease the absolute fuck out of him. She'll know how big of a mommy's boy he is.

Once we get back to the others I climb down first then help Luka down.

"Why don't you take a ride babe, it's been awhile." I say motioning towards her horse and I help her climb over the fence. I watch my wife climb up onto the back of the horse and she takes off through the field. I pick up Tucker in my arms and I just watch her in pure amazement.

She's so beautiful.

Our marriage has been everything I ever imagined it to be and more. She's such an amazing mother, I can't say that enough. I'm so happy I decided to come home after graduation. That I didn't decide to go pro and travel around the world.

I don't want to be anywhere but here with Blake and our family, I don't want anyone else but her. I don't want anything else but this family the two of us have created.

"Surprise!"

I look up from the doorway to see our family and friends in our living room. I hold the car seat of our newest edition in one hand while the other holds the hospital bags.

I can't help but smile as our family rushes to greet us. Blake and I's mothers get to us first and wrap each of us up in a hug and give us a kiss on the cheek. They of course take a peek inside the infant carrier at the little girl sleeping peacefully.

"She's so precious!" My mother cries and I release a heavy sigh as I look to my wife who is just smiling at me.

They finally let us through so we can sit down and I set the baby's carrier on the ground before helping my wife get comfortable. I give her a kiss on the cheek before picking up the baby carrier and setting it on the coffee table in front of us.

"Be gentle guys with Mommy and the baby." I remind my children who immediately swarm us. Hope sits right next to Blake while Luka gets behind her. Tucker makes his way somehow onto my lap and I put the carriers top down.

Everyone coos at the sight of our newest addition. She is the perfect mix between the two of us. She was actually born with a head full of blonde hair. But she's the smallest out of all our kids when they were born.

"What's her name Mama?" Tucker whispers but he fails miserably causing our little girl to let out a small cry. I unbuckle her from her seat and I scoop her up in my large hands before sitting her inside Blake's awaiting arms. I lean down and place a soft kiss to her head.

"Everyone meet Callie Ellender." I softly say as I pull back to look at my wife who is looking down at our sweet girl.

"Mommy can I hold her?" Tucker asks as he moves in between his mother and I.

"You have to be gentle with her okay?" She softly tells him and he gets excited as he rubs his little hands together. I help him scoot back on the couch and I watch as my wife places his baby sister in his awaiting arms.

"Hi Callie, I'm your big brother Tuck. Tucker Ryan, if you are wondering my real name." He says and I can't help but chuckle softly along with everyone else in the room.

"I'm the best big brother, just remember that." He says and Luka tries to argue but Blake shushes them as Callie begins to fuss.

"Can I hold her now Mom?" Hope asks with a bright smile and I take Callie out of Jack's arms. I stand up and motion for Hope to scoot back on the couch and she does. I then place her baby sister in her arms. Blake is right next to her and I watch how my girls are all bonding together.

Tucker stands up from the couch and wraps his little arms around my leg and Luka waits patiently for his turn to hold his sister.

After a few more minutes, Blake places Callie is Lukas arms. He smiles so big at the sight of his little sister and it makes my heart swell.

I feel my mother come to my side and she rests her head against my shoulder.

"I'm so proud of you sweetie." She softly says and I can't help but smile as I watch my little family greet our newest member.

"Thanks Ma."

"Mom, Ma we're home!" I hear Hope yell as she walks through the front door.

Blake and I continue to cuddle on the couch as we watch all of our children walk through the front door together.

Hope is sixteen, turning seventeen in just a few months. As she grew older her looks didn't change at all, she's still a replica of her mother with a few of my facial features. I can't help but smile as I see her with a small attitude. She definitely got that from her mother.

Luka walks in right behind her with an annoyed expression on his face which just makes me chuckle softly knowing the two of them probably got into a fight on the way home. Luka is twelve now, he's beginning to start puberty as he just hit a huge growth spurt. He's catching up to me height wise. He's still a mommy's boy and I tease him about it all the time. He still looks just like me and the more he grows I can't help but see so much of my father in him.

Tucker rushes quickly behind Luka and I can tell he's out of breath. My little shit starter, I think my older brothers rubbed off on him too much because he definitely doesn't act like myself. I mean Blake is a little bit mischievous, but Tucker is on a whole other level. If I need to know something about the older two I go to him and he knows. I wouldn't say he's a snitch, he just happens to know everyone's business. He still is a perfect mix of Blake and myself. He's become quite the ladies man in school which has caused Blake numerous meltdowns. Tucker just turned eight and is one of the smartest I know.

Then there's my sweet girl Callie. She comes stumbling in behind her big brothers with her little backpack on her back. Her blonde curls are pulled back into a braid and I can't help but smile at the sight of her out of breath. She must have been running to catch up with them. For a five year old she has her own personality that's for sure. I think she's spent too much time with Auntie Alison. But she's definitely a Mama's girl.

"Yes?" I say to the kids as I don't bother to move from my spot. My arm is wrapped comfortably around their mother who is snuggled into me underneath the blanket we're currently sharing.

All four of them at once start yelling and arguing and I turn to look at my wife who is looking up at me already.

"And you wanted more of them." I say with a small laugh which causes her to playfully slap my stomach.

"Okay, everyone stop." Blake says as she turns back to look at our children who stop talking immediately.

That's one thing we taught our children, to respect us and any elder. I really taught them to respect their mother, to do everything she asks with no fuss because she is a godsend.

Without her this family would honestly fall apart. She is the backbone of our family.

And I just sit back and watch my wife figure out what the commotion is between all of our children. God she looks so sexy and she doesn't even try. She just has this stern face that makes me get all hot and bothered.

It's not even five minutes and she has everything resolved. The kids all disappear and she snuggles back into me.

"That was quick." I say causing her to hum before moving her hand to caress my jawline.

"I told them all to go to their rooms and we would sort this out later."

"Oh really?" I say with a quirked eyebrow and she hums once again as she brings her thumb down to play with my bottom lip.

"Why's that?" I ask softly as I watch her eyes take in every small feature of my face, almost as if she's taking a mental picture.

"Because I want some more alone time with my wife, is that a problem?" She asks with the same stern face she made looking at our kids not even five minutes ago. I gulp and shake my head no.

"No Ma'am." I say, causing a smirk to form on her lips as she gets comfortable once again as we look back towards the show we were watching before getting interrupted.

"Good."
