Piece by Piece (The Riggins Brothers #2) - Kaylee Ryan Page 0,91
Owen tells me.
“I’ve got one better.” Royce takes off for the DJ, and I watch as he reaches for the mic. “Ladies and gentlemen, can I have your attention?” he says into the mic. “Not only is today the best day of my life, but my brother and his fiancée have some news as well. Come on up here.” He motions for us.
“That’s one way to get you to spill the beans.” Grant laughs.
Hand in hand, Owen and I make our way to where Royce is standing. A year ago, being the center of attention would have stressed me out. Now, I’m so used to their antics, and I know they are on my team, so I just roll with the antics.
“I love you, brother,” Royce says into the mic.
Owen gives him a hug, and Royce steps in front of me. “You too, baby momma.” He smirks before handing Owen the mic.
“Well, we didn’t want to do this today, but my big brother is impatient.”
“So is my wife!” Royce calls out.
“Tell us!” Sawyer yells out.
“Well, Layla and I are happy to announce that baby boy Riggins will be arriving in April.” Owen smiles down at me and bends until his lips press to mine.
The crowd erupts around us, and Royce and Sawyer are the first to wrap us in a hug and offer congratulations. Grant, Conrad, and Marshall are next before Lena and Stanley are standing in front of us. The moment is more than I ever dreamed it could be, as my family wraps us in their love.
“A grandson.” Lena smiles through her tears. “Two daughters and a grandson, we are blessed. So incredibly blessed.” We share hugs with her and Stanley before Owen leads me out to the dance floor.
“The day I met you, I wasn’t sure what to think. I could never have imagined that this is where we would end up less than a year later.”
“It’s the magic.” Owen grins.
“Well, the magic, and you, Owen Riggins. Piece by piece you saved me, you gave me love and a family, and every shattered piece of my heart is now whole, all because of you.”
“Piece by piece, baby,” he says, kissing me softly.
Thank you
