AJ told me once. About the night I went to track down Joss, and had the girls come and babysit her. About how they’d broken into the storage room and seen all my gear. And how AJ had worried that by falling in love with her, she was shrinking my world, that she was taking things away from me.
And how my sister had told her that was the wrong way to look at it. That what she was doing, instead, was showing me a different kind of adventure.
I moved behind AJ, wrapping one arm around her belly, and the other over her chest, and stood there watching as our older son buried our younger son in the sand, feeling our third baby—likely another son—kick against my arm.
That was exactly what this was.
My world wasn’t shrunken.
If anything, it had expanded to realms I never could have anticipated, ones I wouldn’t trade anything in the world for.
Yes, it was an entirely different kind of adventure.
But it was one I was never going to get sick of.
“Ah, Atlas,” AJ said, voice a little tight, setting me on edge.
“Yeah?”
“We should get the kids in the car. And then drop them off to Kingston and Savvy,” she said, turning to shoot me a little smile. “I think Mark is about to lose that bet. Tonight.”
