Dani didn’t know how long the night before she laid there staring up at the damn ceiling when they got back from the Pub the night before she eventually got up and worked for a few hours regoing over the numbers her dad suggested before eventually crawling back into the empty bed. She hadn’t slept alone in a while except for when Jackson was in rehab while she was pregnant and it was weird she eventually had dozed off to sleep. She didn’t even know she had been asleep that long until she awoke and looked at the clock lucky for them they were doing a nighttime wedding and then she saw the note on her bedside table. She looked around the room how in the hell did he get in here without her noticing and more so why didn’t he at least wake her? Wasn’t he the one that said they had to be apart the night before, sitting up she threw on a robe over her pajamas before grabbing the note. She read it and followed its instructions right down to taking the bottle of water and Tylenol from the night before. Her eyes skimmed the rest; he was so bossy even on their wedding day and she had to break out in a grin as she went to the window to look out at the stables.

She looked at the clock in the room and saw it was about the time that he told her to watch and she did see Mason drag him out blindfolded holding what looked like horses. Two adult ones that she assumed where a stud and a mare and two foals for the twins and her heart fluttered. He’d taught her to ride the first few weeks they were together and she honestly found she really liked it, not to the competition level or anything like that but she enjoyed a good ride. He had built a stable into the house but they hadn’t filled it yet mainly because they both had been so busy with wedding stuff, work and the twins. She also had a fondness for crops too and she couldn’t help but grin at him. He still knew how to get her heart racing with just a memory or a sweet gesture and the twins hadn’t changed that if anything he actually expanded on that even more. She still thought it was silly he was wearing a stupid blindfold when he had snuck into her room to place a note down. But she couldn’t help the tears that flooded her eyes and threatened to fall instead she picked up her phone and her fingers flew over the keys.

They’re gorgeous thank you so much I can’t wait to ride them with you. Also you should have let me know you were here. I love you, see you in a bit. P.S. Whitney has your gift just don’t open it in front of everyone, it may send my dad into a heart attack.

She looked at the rest of the note seeing food already in a covered serving tray in the room and opened the top as she watched Mason lead him back to the stables as she picked up the bowl of strawberries and looked at the rest including coffee. Sitting down as she texted her mother asking how far away she was from the house and how the twins were. She smiled at the text back when her mom said she was a few minutes out and the twins were with Jackie still at the house. She had trusted Maddie to watch them at the mansion the night before and had wondered if she and Jackson had asked too much of their niece. She had watched Fox too. She settled into breakfast looking at the file for work and putting it away, it could wait today was about her and Jackson officially starting their lives together. She then sent a text to Val asking where she was with the dress. When the knock came on the door though she sat her phone down and went to it looking on the other side as she saw Bliss with Fox and smiled at her opening the door to let her in, the room should be big enough to hold everyone.

“Sorry I left you with Whitney last night and that me and Merci had words, aren’t you glad you and Hunter skipped over all that drama? Did you see Val out there by chance? I really just don’t want him to see the dress and he’s outside with Mason right now.” Dani hugged her and then her nephew as she pulled back looking at Bliss as Fox went to the food and helped himself. She had to laugh at the sight he was a good kid and she was so happy that Bliss and Hunter had Fox and that Dimitri for now was out of everyone’s life. “Also thanks for offering to take the twins for a few weeks while we are gone, we decided last night to take them with us. I know it’s strange but we’ve both been so busy with the wedding and work it gives us downtime as a family too. Plus instead of watching them you and Hunter can bond with Fox too and start your life with him and I’d hate to take away from that.” She finished smiling at Bliss. She really didn’t think that anything could stop her day or how happy she was or what she was feeling.
