After breaking my own heart with my first Rollisi story, I want to give y'all some fluff. Obviously I don't own Sam Hunt's Kinfolks, and a part of this was inspired by one of my favorite moments between Mary and Marshall from In Plain Sight. Enjoy.

They'll tell you how they thought I'd never settle down
Ain't it funny the way things change?
God, how much of a cliche could she possibly be?
A breeze came in through the window, leaving goosebumps all over her skin in its wake.
She had become a cop simply because everyone who knew her told her she would never make a good one. She gave into temptation too often, and now here she was, a single mother of two making her way through life in the heart of New York.
Her mother had raised her better than that, or so she said.
The truth was, as cliched and sad as it was, there was little she would change about her life. Maybe she would have made her mother kinder, or father stay around. But who was to say that by doing that, she wouldn't have changed her path entirely? She couldn't imagine her life without her girls, or the man currently lying sleeping in her arms.
Dominick was sleeping peacefully, his head resting just above her heart and one leg draped across hers. His soft breaths ghosted across her skin and her fingers absently threaded through his thick, unruly hair.
Everyone back home had seemed so confident she would never settle down. The truth was no man had made her want to settle down. When she was pregnant with Jesse, then with Billie, she could have been married. It would have made her life less complicated and messy.
But messy was exactly what she needed.
Billie's soft cries suddenly broke the peaceful silence and Dominick stirred against her, pushing himself up sleepily. "I got her," he slurred, stealing a kiss before he rolled out of the bed and padded off to comfort the crying baby.
Amanda pulled a sheet around herself and sat up, watching him leave the room.
Yeah, messy was just what she needed.
Take you to my hometown, where I grew up
Where I thought I knew it all before I knew what love was
Gave up on it, but honey, you got my hopes up
And I'm thinking that I wanna introduce you to my kinfolks
Finis.
