"Oh I will, but yeah they would have a lot to say." He told her as he gave her a small smile. "Maybe some other night we'll sleep naked." Nolan told her as he watched her go and let out a sigh as he fell back on the bed running a hand through his hair. Nolan got up, and pulled his shirt off, changing into shorts before he went into the bathroom and brushed his teeth next to her.

Wren nodded when he said maybe another night. They still hadn't been intimate since the boys had been born. They were three months old now, but she knew the trauma of early labor, bed rest and then the cesarian made him nervous to touch her again. Wren hoped someday they could try. She put her hair up and brushed her teeth, looking at Nolan in the mirror as he came to join her next to her. Smiling around her toothbrush, she hip bumped him playfully before spitting and rinsing her mouth and brush out.

"Oh come on I paid my rent weekly, it wasn't until the twins that I became delinquent." He pointed out as he kissed her back. "We can make that stipulation baby I assure you. We'll make sure that these walls have a lot more stories written on them. Now. Go find some pj's and lets cuddle. Try to find some that don't make our closet explode." He teased.

“Oh sure, blame the boys.” She chuckled softly. “There are a lot of stories in this house. If these walls could talk.” Wren nodded when he told her to get pajamas. “And here I was going to suggest we sleep naked. But I’ll go brush my teeth and get into my pjs. I do want some cuddles tonight.”

"Not yet, though maybe tomorrow we'll work on that after homework." He wrapped his arms around her as he listened. "I know we are, I mean it was just meant for the two of you, now were a family of five." He rubbed her back. "What? I loved just renting out part of your bed and living in your space." He joked with a smile. "I like the sound of ours, Mrs. Ward."

“You would do that.” She rolled her eyes when he talked about renting her bed. “Well you were the worst tenant. You never paid your rent on time.” She teased, leaning into kiss him quickly. “But if we sell this place then we have to make sure the next buyer is a nice little family. That will take care of the house like I did.”

"She's my buddy not a dog." He gave her a look back and then nodded. "I hoped you'd say that." She had scared him to death the last pregnancy. "Is that what you want? To sell and buy bigger? We could afford it." He told her as he pulled her to straddle his lap so they were more eye level. "If that's what you want, then I am on board okay?"

“Your buddy, huh? Do you have a secret handshake yet?” Smiling as he pulled her into his lap, she straddled him and looked into his eyes. “I mean, it makes me sad thinking about it. I remember working so hard to buy this house for me and Riley. But I know we need something bigger. The babies are tiny right now but they’re going to be running around before we know it and we’re falling over each other as it is.” She knew they could afford it and they’d sell this house so that’d help too. “Yeah, I think it’d be best. And it’d be nice to buy something together so it’s ours.”

"I love them all though." He told her as he then smiled. "You woulda had riley she's a good companion to have." He hummed and then gave her a look. "Oh lord, if it's another baby, we'd have to keep that one on the roof we got no more room to ad another kid." He pointed out, but he was teasing a bit.

“I do too. I’m glad the boys came into this world healthy.” Her pregnancy hadn’t been the smoothest but they all survived and that’s what mattered. Snickering a little, she shook her head. “She’s not a dog.” Wren gave him a look. “Not another baby. I think I’m tapped out on carrying more babies. But it’s the house. I think we need to think about buying something bigger and selling this one.”

Nolan watched her clean up and then smiled when she came over to him. "Oh and I'm dumb enough to do it for life, and with three babies all by you." He smirked as he leaned up and kissed her gently. "I meant it though, you could have found anyone. I am just glad our paths were meant to intertwine again." He said warmly as his thumbs stroked her hips.

“I know, we’re pretty crazy to have that many kids.” They had wanted to have one more baby and it turned into two more. Kissing him back, she blushed as he complimented her. “Thank you, but I didn’t want anyone else. I think I would’ve just stayed single forever if I couldn’t be with you. I’m perfectly content with my life with you.” She ran her fingers through his hair. “I do want to run something by you though.”

"We needed both to go our own paths for a while." He knew that now, that he needed to be alone to find his family again. "You do too. Even Riley can tell.' He said laughing and shrugged. "I thought you just found somebody else, and were too scared how I'd react. I mean you're beautiful it would not have been a surprise."

Wren sighed, but she agreed with him. She did wish she had told someone, like his mom. The only one that knew she was his was her own mom. Getting up from the floor, she put the box and everything back in the closet. She’d tackle it tomorrow instead. When he mentioned her finding someone else, she scrunched her nose. “Please. You’re the only one who’s dumb enough to be with me.” She teased, moving to stand in between his legs and resting her hands on his shoulders.

"It wouldn't have changed anything, I needed to go through what I did." He told her honestly, and then nodded. "I didn't hate you, I just was angry as hell and I directed it towards you." He told her as he nodded. He sat on the edge of the bed. "I knew you were hiding something, you suck at lying." He teased. "I didn't expect it to be a little three foot mini you though."

“I know but I wish I was there for you.” Wren did what she felt was best at the time, even if now it sounded dumb. She knew had Nolan known about her being pregnant he’d worry about her and not focus on getting out. Gasping playfully, she put the lid back on the box. “I don’t suck at lying! And what did you expect?”

"You can read them, they were written to you after all, though whatever I say in those letters I am not that man I was." He told her as he walked over to her and kissed her head. "I forgot about that box, but yeah, we got news papers and I always looked for your name. It helped pass the time." He mused.

She nodded, knowing probably the last one he sent was probably an angry one. “I wish I had read them back then, wrote back to you.” Maybe it wouldn’t have changed the outcome. Riley still would’ve came into the world while he was locked up. “So even when you hated me… you’d save them?” She folded up the letter she was reading and put it back in the envelope. Wren wasn’t ready to read the final one but she would someday. “You know that first night we saw each other? At the charity event at the fire station. When we were outside, I almost told you about Riley. But then I chickened out and ran back inside.”

Nolan had gotten Riley down, their house was full, but he loved it none the less. He peeked his head in on the boys seeing them fast asleep before he walked to their bedroom and chuckled at Wren sitting on the floor. "Did the closet vomit?" He teased her knowing they were bursting at the seams in the house, but when they thought of having another baby, they didn't expect two. Nolan saw her looking at the box he had honestly forgotten about. "How are those letters treating you now that you're actually reading them?" Nolan was not the man that he had been in those letters.

Wren looked up from the words on the page when he came in. She felt a little ashamed that she was snooping, but once she read one she couldn’t stop. Wiping her eyes, she hugged the letter to her chest. “Nolan..” She honestly had no words at the moment. Wren had always regretting sending them back, wondering what he had said in them. “I had no idea you had kept these all these years.” She looked in the box. “And you had articles about the bakery in here?”
