I called Manfred wanting to know about the financial transactions, a detailed report on my properties and the documentation from the land I inherited from my mother. After almost a week waiting for him to gather everything, finally he faxed me the paper work I asked for.
I made two sandwiches with some rare steak I had in the fridge and calmly sat in the kitchen to enjoy my afternoon snack, when I hear the sound of the living room door opening and Hunter enters taking off his beaten boots. He throws me a kiss and takes the beaten boots straight to the laundry room.
Since last week, when he asked me to marry him, our relationship has gone back to it’s natural form. Nothing was planned by both of us, I gave him a copy of my keys a day after he proposed t

MAGGIE In the last couple of weeks I can in a word say what’s my physical state: deplorable. I have been feeling indisposed, I sleep a lot, I eat like an untamed animal and I have acquired compulsive gastronomical tastes. Yesterday, as an exemple, I put on my head I had to have Sandler’s fried chicken. I spend the afternoon in the clinic picturing those crispy drums sticks in my mouth, then, I got out of the clinic it was evening already and drove to the city entrance just to buy two buckets of crisps chicken thighs with hot sauce. When I got home, Hunter was worried waiting for me in the living room, stuck to the telephone.&

HUNTER I don’t know if I’m more sensible for having find out I’ll be a dad or if it’s just that I miss the boys mess, but today I decided to get out of the bar and go to the ranch to be with my brothers. The door opens and Samantha greets me on the porch with a wide smile. She’s wearing a short jumper and her hair tied in two lose braids, my sister-in-law couldn’t be more beautiful and feminine. I lean over to kiss her cheeks and caress her large belly, she gets on the tip of her toes and hugs me in a nice way, putting her arm on my waist and yelling to the guys. “Look who’s here?” Adam is flipping some hamburgers on the grill and throws a

Calvin replies trying to convince me at alls cost that the days I would be in New Jersey, Rico Lopez, one of the owners of the gym where I train, can support Maggie if she feels something because of the pregnancy. He can only have lost his mind, this guy is crazy? He wants me to get to the fucking road and leave my seven month pregnant wife with my babies under Lopez’ care?

HUNTER Maggie is fallen on the road and I approach her smell of agony and pain. I scrap the nose in her belly and something is wrong, my babies suffer, I can feel them. I howl bagging uncle Quinn to help me, he crouched even with his wounded leg and raises her in his arms, taking her to the truck. Uncle Quinn lays Maggie on the back seat and I sit by her side, in guard, trying to protect her form the pain, from the fear. As soon as Adam jumped on the back of the truck, uncle Quinn started, stepping down on the truck. I close my eyes trying to get back to my skin, but I feel my body electrifying, pulsing by the heat of combat, the tense muscles, taken by the beast, lost between the fury of the animal and the reason of man. I breathe slowly, immerse in darkness and s

MAGGIE The fist image I see when I wake up is Hunter’s face. His eyes are red and teary, but even so, my Big Guy smiles at me. A weak and sad smile, that I insist in finding out why is on the face I so much love. He holds my hand and asks worried. “Hey, baby, how are you feeling, my love?” “Still dizzy, a little pain.” I look to the empty crib by my side and ask Hunter why my children are not here. “Where are the babies, love? Why they haven’t brought them yet? They must be hungry, they need to be fed.&rdq

HUNTER I opened the ranch door and as soon as I entered the living room, I saw Connor stare at the suitcase in my hand and quickly his smile died on his face. “Hi, Hunt, di… did something ha… happened?” Kay closed the refrigerator and came towards me, he stopped chewing an apple by seeing the bleakness on my face. “Fuck, Hunt, Maggie dumped you, was it? What the fuck did you do this time, old man?” How could I answer Kay’s question with dignity? How should I start numbering the shits I did that ended up fucking my relationship with Maggie?

HUNTER VAUGH “Come here, Mel, come here with daddy.” Melanie smiles one of her smiles that disarms me, with four teeth and she crawls on the ranch porch. She supports herself on Adam’s legs and gets up slowly, one little step after the other, falling five steps later. “That’s it, my princess, one step at the time.” Damy opens the living room door with Jeremiah on his neck, I get Jerry from his father’s arms and I nibble his fat little belly, while Mel in wrapped around Damy’s legs and stretches out her arms asking to be picked up. Adam carries Melanie to the back of the ranch, to our yard,

CONNOR I get off my truck in a hurry, I really miss my family, my wandering pack of lost wolves. Everything is the same, the Vaugh ranch never losses its charm. Built with noble wood, varnished, wide windows and the old bench on the porch. Rustic, simple and cozy, like the four of us. All is the same way of when I left, my house, my refugee, where my brothers and I grew up and became men. I put down my backpack and I climbed up the porch stairs yelling and no one came to answer the door, where are they? Adam and Hunter don’t live here anymore, but they said they would be at the ranch tonight so we would see each other here, to have a few beers celebrating my return to Portland, then why is the house empty? And the lights are off? I go to the back door that is on our backyard and when I open it a choir of familiar v
