Gunner waited outside the bathroom door, leaning his hand against the wood and waiting impatiently for Faith to come out with the results. Being a father again was a joy and a thrill, but now that he saw her doubts, he wasn’t sure if they could indeed feed another mouth.

“Are you okay in there,” he asked, not getting a response from her. Ten minutes had gone by and he was already getting worried. Knocking on the door, he asked the question again, only to hear her sobbing inside.

“Open the door, love.” Gunner sounded concerned as he knocked on the door again, being careful not to wake Cheyenne. Faith opened it softly, her eyes bloodshot red while she held the test in her hand and looked at him with a melancholic gaze.

He grabbed the pregnancy test from her hands and looked down at it.

Positive

The two pink lines were clear on the little screen, and Faith covered her mouth with her hands to hold back another wave of emotional turmoil. Noticing how upset she was, he grabbed her by t

    Gunner arrived at Palmer’s ranch, ready to talk to Christopher just as Faith had told him to do. He wanted to know what happened between them, not that it was any of his business, but he needed to help his friends. Palmer and Christopher loved each other too much to just break things off the way they did. Signing a divorce shouldn’t have been done in the heat of the moment, and now they might regret doing so. He knocked on the door as soon as he stepped onto the porch, waiting patiently for Christopher to open for him. The way Palmer arrived at their ranch was heartbreaking. It was like seeing her when she was back in school, just before they met her. Alone, with no friends. As soon as Christopher opened the door, Gunner pushed him back inside, closing behind them as he slammed him against the wall. “What the hell is wrong with you?” He asked, feeling the pressure of Gunner’s arms on his chest. “Why would you do that to your wife, dude? She loves you too much for you to want

    “What if I were to tell you my father-in-law is Thomas Fisher, and my family also has a good lawyer that can represent the Travis couple in this case. What you’re doing here is illegal. They were given a month to vacate the ranch, not a week and you're harassing them.” “You have to understand Mrs…” “No, you have to understand. So it’s best if you leave them alone and give them the time they were told. Unless you want to take this to the town judge, who I’m sure will be on the right side.” Palmer’s threat made him frown, handing her another copy of the eviction notice before getting in the car and furiously driving off. As she studied the documents on her way back in, Gunner and Faith were doing the same thing while sitting in the dining area, their worried faces catching her attention. Her friends didn’t deserve this. It was enough of what they had gone through with Cheyenne, and now adding this problem to their worries was something she didn’t want to let happen. Palmer sat dow

    Gunner and Faith lay on the couch, cuddling as Cheyenne played with her toys on the rug on the living room floor. The silence was comfortable, but Gunner still had an uneasiness in him, the thoughts killing him. Since he met Faith, he promised himself he would make her his wife, provide for her and make sure she lived a happy life with him. “What is going on in that pretty little head of yours, honey?” She asked, not needing to look at him but her arm wrapped tighter around his waist. His body language had said it all, he didn’t need to talk for her to know something was bothering him. “Nothing, baby. I just want the best for the three of you,” he replied, softly rubbing her flat belly. Finding out they would be parents for the second time had him feeling nervous, but excited all the same. Growing a family was all he ever wanted since he was a teenager and Faith was the perfect woman to be by his side. She looked straight into his blue eyes, trying to reassure him. It was odd t

    “We’ll be just fine,” he smiled down at her, kissing her lips tenderly. “Did you tell your parents?” Palmer shook her head. “Not yet. But they’re coming back tomorrow, so I’ll just surprise them then.” “Ma-ma? Da-da?” Cheyenne called, standing on her crib as she looked at Palmer and Christopher with a frown on her face. She approached the little bundle of joy and picked her up in her arms, bouncing her. “No, sweetheart. You can call me auntie, and that silly guy over there is uncle Chris.” Palmer pointed at Christopher as Cheyenne squealed loudly while stretching her little arms towards him. “Un-tel, Un-tel!” He chuckled, approaching her before picking her up in his arms, making him think how amazing it would be to carry his own babies. How much joy they will bring to the family. “Yes, little pea. It’s me, uncle Chris.” Palmer snuggled against him, having a family hug. “I think it’s time for a nice snack and bed, little one,” she mentioned while they both headed to the kitche

    “I can’t believe you’re marrying today. Why the rush? You’re just getting discharged,” Palmer asked as she did Faith’s hair while they waited for the nurse to bring the discharge papers. She had called her friend to bring her dress from her house, along with getting Cheyenne ready. Gunner would be waiting for her in the courthouse, lucky they had gotten the judge of peace to agree to marry them on such short notice. The old man was fond of the family, and he didn’t hesitate in offering his services. “I don’t want to wait anymore, Palmer. I feel better, now knowing my baby will be okay. We can be here today, and who knows where we’ll be tomorrow? I want to be Gunner’s wife,” Faith replied as Palmer put a large white flower on her hair, the contrast of it with her dark curls making it all blend beautifully. “Well, all I have to say is that you look stunning, and it makes me happy you considered me to be your maid of honor.” “Why not? You’re my best friend, and the Godmother of my c

    “What are you doing here? I thought you would go back to Chicago after my daughter’s surgery,” Faith said as she stood in front of her husband, hoping to keep him from getting into a fight. Knowing his impulses, she wanted to keep the peace. “I was going back to Chicago, but…” he smiled. “I heard your husband here is about to lose everything, and I thought you would consider going back with me,” Connor replied, not a hint of shame in his eyes as he stepped closer. Gunner took a step towards him, but Faith instinctively turned around and put her hands on his chest, looking at his blue eyes, filled with rage. “Gunner, no please,” she whispered. “Our daughter is here, and she won’t want to see her father get into a fight. It will scare her. Besides, it's our wedding day and I am starving. We need to celebrate. Remember, no one exists but us?” “I can’t let him get away with that kind of comment. Especially when you’re my wife,” he replied, but his eyes were set on the man in front o

    “Do you even know where he is?” Faith asked, curiously as she pulled Chloe towards one booth, both of them sitting down comfortably. “I don’t know. All I know is that he’s some big-shot football player, but we’re not here to talk about him. We’re here to celebrate your wedding.” Chloe tried to sound cheerful, but she knew even if Faith only met her a few times in school, she could sense when someone was truly hurting emotionally. “Nonsense, Chloe. We might not be close, but you are part of this town, and we were schoolmates. You and Hunter looked so cute together. He was such a puppy when it came to you. It beat having to deal with his bully ways. You were the only one who could tame him so he could leave Christopher and Palmer alone.” They both chuckled at her comment, but Chloe knew she was right. Loving Hunter had been the best thing to ever happen to her. She could see the difference in him when they were together. He even smiled often. “Why don’t you try calling him? Who k

    “Well, that was quite the surprise. Thank you, my love,” Faith pointed out as she tried to take the flower off her hair, kicking her shoes off in the mudroom before she made her way towards the kitchen, ready to boil some water for a much-needed tea. She set the full teapot on the stove, turning the heat. Gunner stood at the doorway, leaning against it as he admired his wife moving back and forth in the kitchen. He thought of himself as the luckiest man on Earth, having such a wonderful woman to call his wife and the mother of his child; now his children. “Are you okay?” Faith grabbed the hem of her dress and walked towards him, his blue eyes boring into her soul, just as he had done years ago. “Nothing. I just can’t believe you’re mine. I never thought a girl like you would ever accept to be with a boy like me.” Faith frowned. “Why wouldn’t I? You were the most popular boy in school.” “But you were the one playing hard to get.” Faith bit her lips, smiling at him shamelessly

  • She's My Faith   Epilogue

    Months had gone by, and life had been such a treasure. The friends had made peace with each other, and as soon as the contract was up, Christopher and Palmer had handed Gunner and Faith the ownership of their home. It was now theirs, with no debt, no foreclosure, and no man wanting to steal it from them. Now, they each waited inside the maternity room, a curtain separating their wives as both of them found themselves giving birth on the same day. Faith breathed while Gunner frantically tried to make her comfortable, fluffing her pillow and whispering soothing words as the doctor ordered her to push. Few minutes had gone by, and the cry of a baby boy echoed in the room, bringing joy to the couple. “Oh, wait until Cheyenne meets him,” Faith said as the nurse handed her her son after a thorough cleaning. “She’ll be over the moon,” Gunner replied, kissing her forehead. “I am so proud of you, my caramel queen.” “No, proud of both of us. We did this together. All of it.” She repli

  • She's My Faith   Live Life To The Fullest

    Gunner followed Faith’s beat up car back home, pondering over every single thing he did and how he had failed his family. Turns out, he never did. He needed to see he was the luckiest man in the world. He had amazing friends, a wonderful mother and a wife who he loved more than anything, even with his flaws. Not to mention a little girl who adored him. Who saw him as her hero. And now, they have been blessed with another little bundle of joy. If they didn’t deserve it, God wouldn’t have let them conceive another baby. With a smile on his face, he remembered the moments with Faith. That day in the janitor’s closet, eating lunch together. The time he stood up to her father for her love and the right to be her boyfriend. And when he met Christopher, a shy guy who kept to himself, until Palmer had helped him get out of his shell. Oh, how he missed those moments in school. It was all simpler. Pulling his truck over at the side of the road, he turned the ignition off and pressed

    Gunner covered his couch in his office with a sheet and tossed a couple of pillows from his truck before he sat down, leaning his head on the backrest and looking up into the ceiling. He thought of getting back into his truck and following his wife as soon as he saw her car disappear through the corner of the street, but he was as stubborn as she was sweet, and his body wouldn’t let him move, except towards his clinic. The sound of the cages and the dogs barking didn’t let him sleep, and he spent most of the day and night with his eyes wide open, thinking about what he has done. Maybe he was, indeed, overreacting, and he had to thank his friends for saving his ranch. But that didn’t take the fact that they had hidden it from him and Faith. “What am I going to do?” He said, running his hand through his blonde, now disheveled hair. Leaning forwards, he set his elbows on his knees, rubbing his hands together. His heart ached, and he felt lonely inside his office. Since he had Fait

    Gunner pulled over in front of his clinic, sighing as he looked at the locked door. He had given Samantha and Gina a day off as he wanted to celebrate for the day. But he never imagined it would go the way it did. Stepping out of his truck, he looked back at Faith, who had parked behind him, staring at him from behind the windshield. He could see her eyes were glassy and red from where he was standing and approached her vehicle, opening the door and crouching by her side. “It’s going to be fine, sweetheart,” he said, raising his hand to cup her cheek. Faith sobbed, turning to face him as they both lost themselves in a sweet embrace, the pain of losing their home getting to them. “Why do things keep happening to us?” she asked in a whisper, hiding her face on his shoulder while tears damped his shirt. “We need to just take it one day at a time.” Faith pulled back and looked at his blue eyes. “What if we overreacted? Maybe they’re right. We would have lost your ranch to Gray, an

    Palmer could sense the awkward tension coming from their friends, and urged Christopher to sit, joining him shortly after she served everyone their coffee. As she set the mugs down, she could feel Faith’s gaze on her, and it wasn’t a happy one. “Well, we’re all ears. What questions might you have?” Christopher asked, thanking his wife with a kiss before he sipped his coffee. Gunner gazed at Faith as he held her hands while she nodded, giving him the approval to ask them. She also needed answers. He sighed, bit his lips, and frowned. “We want to know why did you lie to us?” Palmer stared at Christopher, confused. “We don’t know what you’re talking about, Gunner. We would never lie to you,” her husband replied. “Then why did Gray Jones come to our… oh, excuse me… now it’s yours as he said you bought it and paid our debts. Why did you lie to us, telling us that my father was never in such debts and that he had enough money to go around?” “Gunner…” Palmer started, but he glare

    “Good morning, my beautiful queen,” Gunner said, wrapping his wife in his arms, snuggling against her as he smelled the lavender shampoo from her hair. “How did you sleep?” “I slept better than a baby,” she whispered, looking over her shoulder to smile at him, the look of love in his eyes giving her goosebumps. There was no one that could compare with her husband when it came to cherish the moments with her. “I feel guilty because Palmer and Chris couldn’t have their honeymoon, and here we are; we enjoyed our wedding night while they babysat Cheyenne,” she added. “Don’t worry, we’ll make it up to them. Now, let’s have a quick breakfast, pick her up at their ranch and then maybe have a picnic in the hills?” Faith hummed. “That sounds lovely.” They both stepped out of their bed, ready for a fun-filled day with their daughter. As Gunner headed to the bathroom, Faith couldn’t help but stare at her wedding ring, a small diamond sat on it and the reality of being his wife hit her with
