Blinding Trust (Mitchell Family, #7)(75)

“You mean, besides the trip?”

“Savanna Mitchell, will you do me the honor of marryin’ me again?” Her mouth dropped when I slid the anniversary band onto her ring finger.

She wrapped her arms around me. “I might have to think about it,” she teased.

“Don’t think too long. The family will be here next weekend to watch us do it.”

She looked down at the ring again and smiled. “I guess I can go through with it again. I mean, you’re pretty much the best man to ever exist on the planet.”

“I’ll take that as a yes, then.”

“Hell, yes!”

“Noah and the girls are going to give you away.”

She looked surprised. “You’ve already told them?”

“Well, I didn’t think you’d say no.” She cuddled up next to me and stared at her new ring. “Just so you know ahead of time, Miranda and Amy are already fightin’ over how you should wear your hair. You’d think this was our first rodeo.”

“You know how they are.”

“Speaking of women, I have enlisted our girls to do the decorating this time. They did such a fantastic job with Joe and Barbie’s wedding, that I just know they will make ours perfect. Well, with paper flowers and glitter, of course.”

“Oh boy, that sounds scary.” She giggled.

“It’s going to be. Have you even tried to clean up glitter? The shit sticks to everything.” I was thinking about banning it from our house.

She laughed at me again. “I appreciate how hard you worked to keep up with everything while I was sick. I mean, it must have been hard doing things you never had to do before.”

“I never realized how hard you worked, until I had to do it all myself. Being a mother is a full time job. It never ends either. When I get home, my job is done, but your job is like being on call twenty four seven. You’re my idol, because there is no way I could do it every day. You’re an amazin’ woman.”

Savanna smiled as she ran her hands down my chest. She continued until she had my length in her grasp. “How about we stop all this talking and you show me just how amazing you think I am?”

I rolled on top of her. “My pleasure.”





Epilogue


“I can’t believe it still fits.”

Miranda stood back and admired me in my original wedding dress. “It’s perfect.”

“Should I wear the cowboy boots, too?”

She nodded. “Of course. Did the girls like their sundresses? Ty’s mom worked all week on them.”

“Yeah, they love them. She got the sizes perfect.” I couldn’t believe she’d made them for me.

“It’s time for your hair and makeup.” Amy came walking in carrying a tool box of products. Miranda smiled and they dug in. They’d already decided that I was wearing my hair down. Miranda was doing my makeup, while Amy did my hair.

In the next room, I could hear the girls getting dressed. My mom was in charge of getting them pretty. They wanted to surprise me, even though I’d already seen their dresses.

I had to admit that this time around, all of this seemed so much fun. Everyone was relaxed and I couldn’t wait to party with the family.

When it was time to walk down the aisle, my girls came running out.

Christian and Addy held hands as they walked right to their daddy. He was standing with his arms down at his sides, but as they approached, he held their hands.

Noah came walking around the barn. He was wearing jeans, a clean white shirt and a pair of boots. He smiled when he saw me all dressed up. “You look real pretty, Mom.”

“You don’t look bad yourself.”

I put my arm in his and we walked down the small aisle. Since it was just our close family, Ty wasted no time being his normal self. I got halfway down the aisle and he started whistling. “Nice ass!”

The barn filled with laughter. “Shut up, party crasher!” I stuck my tongue out at him and noticed the girls were doing it too.

Colt was all smiles when we reached him. It felt so perfect to be standing up there with our three children.

Since we were already legally married, John had agreed to play the minister. He stood in front of us and let Colt take the lead.

He turned around and faced our family. “I’m goin’ to try to make this short.” He faced me again and took both of my hands in his. “The past eleven or so years have been the best years of my life. Lovin’ you is the easiest thing I’ve ever had to do. Every single mornin’, when I get up to start my day, I look over at you sleepin’ and thank God for givin’ you to me.” He paused for a minute. “Several months ago, we had a big scare. Nobody ever wants to hear that they might lose the person they love. Life is precious, but I couldn’t see myself getting’ by without you by my side. Savanna, you are the glue that holds our family together. I just want you to know that no matter how old we get, no matter what we have to go through, no matter how hard we have to fight, I’m going to stand by you for the rest of my life. I love you, darlin’. I always have and I always will.”



“You broke the guy code to have her!” Ty joked. We heard him groan and turned to see Miranda’s elbow in his side. He hunched over in his seat.
