All Chapters of Portwood Brothers: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Baby watch was in full swing. Emma was due to go in for a c-section in two weeks, but the doctor had told her she might go into labor at any time. Emma had thought that things would ease up with the pregnancy as it went on, and she was right for a couple months, but toward the end, the morning sickness came back full swing, and with carrying twins, she'd really had a hard time managing with her small frame. Because of all that, the doctor didn't even give her a choice; she just set her surgery date. With everything going on and the possibility that she could go into labor at any time, Bryce and Addison had gone into full on baby mode. They had the nursery finished. The car seats installed and checked by a certified person, bags for the babies packed, and anything else they could think of. Bryce was sure there were a hundred things they didn't think of, but if they couldn't do without it, they'd find a place and buy it. Bryce was stepping out of the shower when he caught a glimpse of

"I swear on all that's holy, if you check the car seats again, I will slip a sleeping pill in your drink just so we can get home."Bryce looked up shocked and tried to check the straps on the car seat on the sly. "Don't think I didn't see that," Addison told him with a pointed look."Maybe you should ride in the back with them. Don't you think? That way if they get fussy, you can check it out easier. Yeah?""Bryce, look at me." Addison waited until he stopped messing with the car seats and looked up at her. "Everything is fine. The babies are strapped in just fine. If they fuss, we'll pull over. It's not that big of a deal.""They haven't eaten recently, though."Addison tried hard not to roll her eyes at her overprotective husband. "We still have to go see Josh and Payton so we can feed them over there.""Oh, that makes sense."Addison grabbed the pink car seat and Bryce grabbed the green car seat and they headed toward Emma's room. They were releasing the babies a day earlier than

Bryce couldn't believe the nerve of the man showing up here. Dan and Melissa had made it clear that they didn't want to be a part of their lives, and now, here was Dan at their door. How the hell did he know where they were anyway? As far as he knew Addison hadn't told them, they'd moved."What are you doing here, Daddy?""I came to see you. I figured it's time to put all this nonsense to rest.""It's not nonsense, and you can't just bully me into doing whatever you want. Bryce is my husband, and I'm going to be with him no matter what you say. You can either support that or butt out. That hasn't changed. And how'd you know where to find me?""Now Addison," Dan said holding up a hand, "I'm not here to fight. I know I've missed a lot in your life, and if you'd have me, I'd like to be a part of it again.""I'm not sure I can just do that."Bryce was proud of Addison for sticking up for herself. She hadn't for so long, and she had been holding her own with her parents for a while and not

VOLUME FOUR: PLAYING IT COOLAUTHOR'S NOTEWhen I started the series, I hoped to write a series, and it was going to feature Josh and his college roommates. I started Playing by the Rules, and by the end, the whole thing derailed and took me with it. What started as a book about a guy and his roommates turned into a series about brothers, their relationship with each other, and their relationship with the women they love. One question I got asked a lot was would I ever consider writing a book about how Bryce and Addison met. I always said no, I wouldn't. You see, Bryce and I don't get along. If he annoys you, try living with him in your head for months on end. What can I say, he got his way, because I ended up writing a Portwood Series Novella all about how Bryce and Addison met. I hope you enjoy their beginning and know this is absolutely the last time I will write a book for Bryce. Next time I'm killing him off. AUGUST"I'm here. The party can begin!"Addison looked bac

Twice in one day? He must have done something good recently to deserve it. Whatever he'd done, he wished he knew so he could repeat it over and over if it'd give him a chance to be with Addison. If he didn't watch it, he was going to turn into one of those saps that he always made fun of.Addison not only had taken a seat at his table, but she hadn't left. His friends had been talking her up, and she seemed to be having a good time."You're the kind of woman I'd want as a lawyer," one of his friends told her. "If I get put in jail, can I call you?""Don't answer that," he told her.Addison's brows furrowed before she asked, "Why?""He's just trying to get your number.""Damn, bro. What happened to helping a brother out?"Everyone laughed, but Addison still looked confused. "So, you come here often?" he asked her, trying to put her at ease."No. Not really."And that was kind of the end of the conversation. She excused herself so she could go to the bathroom, and he thought abo
