Chapter 35

A few days later, I am released to go home. Walking into the house, I go to the kitchen to get a water and out to the back deck. Sitting on the steps, the guys let me sit a minute before walking out and sitting on each side of me. "What are you thinking?" Juice asks. I look at him and Koz and say "Just taking in the fresh air and the sunshine." I take their hands and say "I'm okay. I promise." I look at the yard and say "There's enough room here to expand this deck and add a hot tub." They look at me and Koz asks "That what you want?" I nod. "We'll get it done." Juice says. "I think having one will give me a place to relax a little and not be so stressed out." I tell them. "Sounds like a great idea." Koz says.

A week later, the deck is expanded and the hot tub is up and running. It's just me, Juice, Koz, Happy and Sarah all drinking beers and wine and enjoying the hot tub. I look at Happy and he's kissing Sarah softly and I can't help but smile. Juice leans over and says "He looks happy doesn't he?" I nod and lay my head on his shoulder. I take Koz's hand and he squeezes. Things could not be better.

Six months later, things are still great. My practice is going strong and Sarah is not only still working for me but going to school to become a therapist. Her and Happy are married and have their first child on the way. As for me and my men, Koz and I didn't work out as a couple but we are still best friends just like me and Happy and he's actually seeing Marci that works for me, with my blessing of course. Juice and I got married and like Sarah, we have our first child on the way. Life could not get better and I realized that I am not just a princess.
