Amanda Jason: Lucky Number Four

My hand reaches up to my neck to hold the little silver ball that chimes softly when I move.

“I guess it worked pretty well, huh? We got two for the price of one. Today is going to be a busy day, as it’s your first Christmas. You probably won’t enjoy it much this year, but just wait until next year.”

I see Mandy watching her father as he talks to her as if she understands every word.

“We’re going to see all your grandparents and great-grandparents today. Your aunts and uncle too. Now let’s be super quiet and we’ll go get the bottles ready, because I hear your brother moving in the crib.”

He picks Mandy up and kisses her cheek and she giggles. She keeps on giggling the more he shushes her. He turns and sees me standing in the doorway and his smile—yes, his smexy smile—totally makes me melt. Here we are, our own lucky group of four, and I couldn’t be happier. As I continue watching him tend to our children, a warm sensation washes over me. There’s really nothing hotter in my opinion than a gorgeous man who’s wonderful with kids. I know exactly what we’ll be doing once he finishes feeding our twins—yes, I do.

There she is, the woman of my dreams, the love of my life. We truly are our own ‘Lucky Number Four’. Judging by her beautiful warm smile, I have a feeling I know what we’ll be doing after I finish up here, and frankly I can’t wait.
