After everyone had left, security let the party cleaners and stood watch while they did their thing. Gina made sure that there were left overs left so that they and security got some when they were done, because that was the kind of person she was.

They were inside just sitting on the couch talking and enjoying the quiet time. He pulled her feet up into his lap and started rubbing them. "It was a great party babe, it was nice having everyone together! I am glad we threw it to be like, we're back bitches!" he cracked up and leaned over kissing her as he kept rubbing her feet. "Everyone got along, thank god I was kind of worried there would be a throw down like there usually is!"

Tenn was so over the moon, Dutton was her favorite little guy in the whole world. She had gotten him all fed and after skin on skin time with her then with Asher, and after Noni, Jake and Mars were able to visit and meet him the nurses took him off to the nursery for the night.

Tenn was able to get a shower since she had one in her room, she also convinced the doctors to let her have her pj's from home on so she got into her comfy pj's pants and one of asher's oversized shirts and crawled back into the hospital bed. Marley had brought her up some comfortable comforters and pillows so she slid them over her and was nice and comfortable. She was so happy, and she knew Asher was too.

"How is little man doing down there babe? I am all cleaned up, in my Pj's and in this comfortable ass blankets and pillows that Mars brought!"

Baby Watch 2025..

I am in labor!

Bryan was glad to be back in Nashville with a downsized home, off of the Farm but close to Brooke for Gina. They still had their place in the Islands, but they missed the kids, and she missed her bestie, Brooke. So, they decided to move back home. She was not working at all. Which was fine with him.

They got in pretty late that night and didn't tell anyone. They had called up their old assistant Michelle who had the house all set up with furinture, food and decorated the way that Gina had sent her to have done.

He pulled her close when they got into their bed and smiled. "I am glad we're home babe. This bed by the way, perfect! And the bedding? Even better! I am glad Michelle got this all set up!" he kissed her slowly and deeply. "Have you told Brooke that we came home??"

Tenn was relaxing, this little boy was sucking the life out of her lately so she decided to just be more chill and not do as much. Asher had been amazing and doing more around the house but she decided to hire someone to come in and do the cleaning a few times a week. She did the laundry for the most part, but, Asher did it too.

She was looking through a baby book of names but she was waiting for Asher to get out of the shower so they could go through them. They were getting closer and closer so she really wanted to have a name picked out. She had Instacarted some groceries so she put them away while he was in the shower.

"Did that shower help your muscles babe?" she ask when he came into the living room.

The kids were finally out. The house had gone still—just the occasional creak of settling wood and the low murmur of the ocean in the distance. A soft country record played on the patio speaker, spinning something intimate and stripped down, the kind of song that clung to the night air.

Ryan stepped out onto the patio with a fresh drink in hand, hoodie sleeves pushed to his elbows, hair still slightly damp. The lines of his face softened under the glow of the string lights overhead. He looked every bit the off-duty movie star—relaxed, grounded, barefoot.

He settled into the chair beside her with a quiet sigh, stretching his legs and letting his gaze drift toward her. Mya looked completely at ease. Or maybe she wanted to look that way. Her long legs were curled under her, glass in hand, wearing one of his old flight school sweatshirts and no makeup. She looked better than she did on any red carpet—and he’d seen her on plenty.

Ryan lifted his glass toward her, a small toast with a wry smile—low effort but sincere.

His eyes flicked toward the speaker. It was one of her songs playing. One of the older ones, a little raw, a little too close to the bone. He didn’t say anything, but the corner of his mouth twitched, amused. Curious.

He leaned back and let the quiet roll for a beat. The night was warm, familiar. The kind of night that made things feel simpler than they actually were.

Eventually, he turned to her, expression unreadable but thoughtful. His voice was soft when he spoke—low, even, almost like he didn’t want to wake the peace that had finally settled.

No pressure. No heat. Just Ryan, stripped back from the movie star sheen, Top Gun pilot past, or all the questions they’d tried to ignore lately.

Just her husband.

And maybe… her friend.

No kids = random sex on the couch and it was fucking perfect

Tenn sat her keys and purse on the counter and grabbed herself a bottle of water and took a few drinks then sat int on the counter too. She spent the day taking her Noni out, they went shopping and to lunch then she took him back to his place so he could rest and spend some time with Chey and the great grand kids later in the evening.

Shwas going to make dinner but she was feeling kind of tired and wore down so she put in a order to Maggiano's Little Italy so that it would be there in time for Asher to get home. Just like clock work it was there before he got home. She tipped the delivery guy and set the table, pouring them both some sweet tea.

When he walked in the door she smiled "Just in time babe! I ordered from Maggiano's! I just got it all set out! With my homemade sweet tea. How was your day?"

Bryan crawled into bed with Gina. He had opened their window and the shades so that the breeze was blowing in and they could see the moon light over the ocean water. It was the most beautiful night.

"It's so nice out. The breeze and the temperature is perfect." he smiled and kissed her lips sweetly. "I am so glad we don't have to go back up there for a little bit. I am just ready to stay here forever." he laughed softly and pulled her close to him running his fingers through her hair. "I love you so much baby."

Asher is passed out, he drank WAAAAAAAAAAY too much. He is face down, ass up (in this robe of course) in the bed. Thank GOD cousin hooked us up with a king suite. Cause I am about to shove his fat ass over on the other side of the bed *insert O lips here* and me and this bean are going to curl up in this fluffy rube and these fluffy blankets and these cloud of pillows and watch some cooking shows on Food Network and pass out.

Ava, Colton the party was perfect! I love you both bunches!
