Brax POV

I just got word that Ana and Christian are on their way to the ranch so I tale it out of there and go back to the gyms in Seattle. I need a little bit more time then I will come down to the ranch and have a chat with her. I know she will understand were I am coming from.

Ana POV

We land on the ranch and I imminently feel better. I was not ready to entertain guests. My phone was going off the hook so I turned it off. I know Mia is going to be upset all her plans got spoiled but at this point I needed the family holiday more.

"Jake welcome to our ranch."

"Wow this is so awesome. Can I check the place out?"

"Yes, you may but let Taylor go with you."

"Ok I will. Thank you."

"Ana baby let's go and get you rested."

"That would be lovely Christian. Can I get something to eat I am feeling hungry."

"Of course you can. I can't let my family starve now can I? I settle in and Christian leaves to get me some food. When he returns I am trilled to find a juicy beef burger and fries.

"How did you know baby?"

"It's my responsibility to know and that's all you spoke about in the hospital." I can't help but laugh with him.

"You remembered?"

"Of course I did." I dig in and Christian pulls out his laptop and types away. He then turns it to me and on the screen is the most beautiful black stallion I have ever see.

"He is beautiful. Who is he?"

"He is a welcome to the family gift for Jake. His name is Bruno."

"He is perfect. You are the best baby. I didn't even think of it. I love you so much for this."

"I love you to. Now eat up. He will be here within the hour."

"Oh so soon? I need to go to the stables and get a stall cleaned for him baby." Why didn't he tell me sooner I would have not been sitting on my bed doing nothing.

Christian POV

I love this women with my everything. She immediately fell in live with Bruno like I knew she would. I have another surprise for her but I will wait a little longer to show her.

"Ana baby relax I have taken care of everything. Bruno even has a sigh above his stable." I can see she is disappointed because she was not involved in anything.

"Baby would you do the honors of presenting him to Jake?" Her whole face lights up and it's a beautiful sight. I still can't seem to leave her side. I fear something bad is going to happen to her. Ros has been great about the whole thing. She s helping out more than ever with GEH and it is doing better than ever. I have corresponded via email and Skype with her.

"Yes Christian I would love that. Thank you."

"As a family we can go into town and let him choose his own riding gear if that is ok?"

"Yes that would be perfect let's go and find him." We walk down and find Jake sitting chatting to the ranch hands.

"Jake come with us I have a surprise for you and Ana."

"What is it?" He is so much like Ana it's amazing.

"Patience you are just like Ana." I couldn't help laugh at their enthusiasm. I know Ana is a bit sad she can't go out on her horse but I had that rectified for her. I called ahead of time and had the ranch hands hook her horse up. As we round the barn Ana stops dead and I hear her gasp.

"Oh Christian you done this for me?"

"I knew how you felt not been able to ride baby. This way you can also take the babies out." I can't help take her in my arms when I notice a single tear run down her cheek.

"Oh its beautiful Christian. You are the best." I bought her a red and black surrey horse cart. This way she is safe and can still move around the ranch. It's a cool toy and I can't wait to try it out.

"Come on. Get in so we can go to part two of my surprise."

"There is more?" I can hear the excitement in her voice and I love it. I want to see her happy like this all the time.

"Yes baby always more for you and my family. Come on Jake hop in the back let's go." Taylor and Luke are following on there own horses that Ana personally purchased or them. We pull up to a cute wooden archway and I stop near it and direct Ana to read the sigh out loud.

"Oh Christian it says GreySteele Miniature Horse Breeding Ranch. You didn't? Oh boy but you did." Ana told me a while back her dream was to have miniature horses and be able to breed them so being the control freak I am I set her farm up for her.

"Baby it's all yours. Welcome home." She gets off the cart and walks around. I can tell she is still trying to take it all in.

"Christian you have done all this for me and I am now in tears again. I can't believe I have found a wonderful man who is just perfect. You have made my dreams all come to life." Ana walks around and there are 4 round pens with 10 miniature horses in each. They are the cutest things I have ever see and only come knee-high for me. They are adorable. He explains he has the males and females separated. The babies are in one pen and the last pen has the pregnant ones. She is so excited.

"Christian how am I going to do this from Seattle?" I think he can hear the fear in my voice.

"I have hired Ty to do the medical part for us and we have enough farm hands here to do the rest. We can come down when ever you want."

"Can we get some carriages for them?" I laugh because she does not know what to do with herself. 2 weeks holidays might not be enough for her.

"I have bought us 5 3-seat phaeton buggy's they are back at the barn." She comes up to me and wraps her arms around my neck and kisses me. I have missed this it feels so good.

"Ugg would you two keep that to your bedroom?" I am shocked by Jake and Ana goes all red in the face. I can't help laugh at her.

"Come on let's get back I have one more surprise for Jake." His eyes go huge and its so funny.

"Yes, buddy come on you are part of this family to." We go back and arrive just in time. They have just unloaded Bruno. Ana goes up to him and it makes me nervous. He is bigger than his picture showed. But she is so good at this she takes his reigns and walks him in circles then stops in front of Jake

"Jake he is from Christian and I to welcome you to our family. This is Bruno and he is now yours." He is standing there staring at Bruno not saying a word so I step in.

"Jake are you ok?" He shakes his head No and now I am worried. He bends close to me and whispers.

"Christian I don't know how to ride." I kind of knew that was the problem.

"I know that. It's ok. I have a professional coming in tomorrow to teach you. By the end of the week you will be a pro." He smiles at me and it's a wonderful feeling.

"I guess this only means I am now a permanent part of this family." It breaks my heart how insecure he is.

"No, you have been a part of this family for a long time. This only means you now have a very big responsibility ahead of you. Pete the head farm hand will take you through the ropes of looking after him. Go with him now so he can show you were your stable is. When you are done we need to go to the store to get you riding gear so don't take long."

"Ok and Thank you." Ana and I both get tight hugs.

"You are welcome." He goes off and I have Ana in my arms and my life just feels so right.
