I rub my belly, feeling a tiny foot pushing against my palm. I’m not sure which twin it is, but I push back against it.
At this moment, I know I’m overjoyed. It took so much hard work to get here, but now, here I am on the mountaintop living my best life with the love of my life. I found myself up here along with a family and infinite love. Two things I thought I’d been genuinely missing, and thought I’d miss out on my whole life. As I look at Parker and the kids happily playing together, I understand what it really means to love and to be loved unconditionally in a way I’d never experienced before.
I’m suddenly overwhelmed with emotion. I stand up and try to stretch and walk toward Parker. He and our four children look at me, all of them making nearly identical faces of concern.
“Is everything okay?” Parker asks. He’s been very protective of me and regularly checks on me, which I love. I consider how far he’s come emotionally, and I’m so proud of him. I smile and spread my arms.
“I can’t keep sitting around, or these babies are going to get lazy,” I tell him with a laugh. Christopher squirms to be let down by Evie. Once she sets him on the ground, he runs to my side and takes my hand. He’s always been a mama’s boy.
“What game are we playing now?” I ask.
“We were playing chicken, but we were thinking of playing on the swings,” Christopher tells me. Adeline, still on Jackson’s shoulders, nods in agreement.
“Well, I can play on the swings,” I tell them. “I can push you if you want.”
“Yes!” he squeals, tugging at my hand to pull me over to the wooden swing set Parker built for Jackson’s eighth birthday. Parker stops us before we can get too far and kisses me on the forehead.
“I love you so much,” he says, rubbing my gigantic belly. He was so excited when we learned we were expecting again. Twins, nevertheless. I kiss him back, mouthing ‘I love you, too’ before Christopher pulls me away. A burst of happiness fills my heart, and I’m so deeply in love with everything that’s my life—on this mountain with my husband and kids—my perfect family.
