Kristen POV
Huge white snowflakes fell out of the dark sky and onto the grass below. These last six months have been as peaceful as it is when you watch the snow cover the trees. There hasn’t been any threat on our lives and my shop was growing larger than I ever expected.
Currently, Alec was giving Adalynn a bath so I had a few moments to myself. Colt and Penny were going to come over for dinner. Wanting to relax a little, I grabbed the bottle of Jack and poured myself a glass. Now, I was standing by the balcony windows, watching the white bullshit collect on my precious grass.
“All done, mommy!” Alec came up behind me with our daughter. She looked just like me but had her dad’s piercing green eyes. Adalynn was such a daddy’s girl that if he was in the room, she didn’t want me. Though, nothing melts your heart faster than watching your mate bond with your children.
“You look so pretty!” I said with a big smile. She was all dressed in a zip up onesie, ready for bed. “I got a bottle for you!” Holding the bottle out, she reached out and grabbed it, greedily.
“She has a little tooth coming through.” Alec said as he tried to help her put the bottle in her mouth. Her eyes instantly rolled back and closed so Alec cradled her in his arms.
“She isn’t acting like it hurts her.” I said watching them.
The door bell rang, interrupting me trying to get a look. “Can you get that? It’s probably Vivian.”
Vivian was our personal nanny. Since I was a little jealous of Colt getting our mother’s house, Alec built me one. We have only be in it for a little over a week now but I loved it.
It was like a ranch style meets barndominium. When you walk in, the foyer was large with an office on one side and a closet on the other. When you kept walking, it opened up to a massive room that included the livingroom, kitchen and informal dinningroom. Stairs were off to the side that lead to a loft. The balcony looked over the entire room but only a bathroom and closet was up there. Stairs went down into a man’s cave area. Complete with a game room and bedrooms. The master bedroom was on the other side of the livingroom. We had a huge walk in closet and bathroom. There was two other bedrooms on the main floor, each had their own bathrooms. With a three car garage, you can either enter the house through the pantry or through the mudroom, depends on your needs. All the trim was treated dark stained oak. The flooring was grey with brown hues but a matted finish so whatever the kids did to it was going to be well hidden. The walls were either a gray, sage or a shade of blues. It was my safe place.
The wall to vaulted ceiling windows made great views when I was stuck inside. Although, I hated the snow, it was very pretty to watch. Alec had lit a fire and we turned the lights down low for a romantic quiet evening.
“Hey!” It was Vivian at the door. Since Colt requested a dinner, I decided to have Vivian come hang out with Adalynn since it wasn’t quite her bedtime yet and I wasn’t sure what Colt was going to tell us.
