It's been a month since the condom broke. I can't continue to set with mom daily and I know she's is in good hands.

I had to get back to my job at the diner and I just really hate it. I don't want to be here because I'm not really making much money.

I haven't even given any thought to the condom breaking and I don't feel any different so I'm assuming I didn't get pregnant thankfully.

When Hart isn't working he comes in to see me and always has dinner with me every day at long term with mom.

The second opinion that Worth got for mom said the same thing. She's is in a coma from complications of Diabetes and they don't know if she will ever wake up.

One reason I had to work is that I have to keep paying rent on that trailer even though I haven't stayed there since mom got sick.

I spend every night with mom in long term and sleep in the reclining chair and then Hart takes me over to his house to shower and change clothes.

My car is on its last leg and I don't know how much longer it's going to run but I cross my fingers every time I start it.

I'm waiting on Hart to come in for lunch. I smile when I see him walk in the door.

He takes a seat at the bar and I put in an order for a cheeseburger and a strawberry milkshake.

"Hey there!" He smiled.

"Hey, Ayla! Are you ready for the gender reveal tonight for Poppy?"

"I am and thanks for inviting me." I smiled.

"Poppy wanted you to come but so do I." He smiled.

"What is she hoping for?"

"She said it don't matter since she already has one of each. We are all excited to find out." He said.

"I loved that picture that Ryder made for mom," I said wiping the counter down.

After my shift was over I cleaned up the counter and grabbed my bag and headed out the door.

When I got in my car it wouldn't start. "Shit not again," I said hitting the steering wheel. I grabbed my phone and called Hart.

☎️ Ayla what's wrong?

☎️ Hart my car won't start.

☎️ I'll be right there.

☎️ Ok, I'll be here.

I stayed in my car until Hart pulled up. "I'm sorry Hart."

"Don't mention it I'm happy to come to get you." He said leaning in for a kiss.

We pull up at the Ranch and walk toward the tent and every face I recognize is under the tent besides one guy.

"Oh, my isn't that Owen Bale?" I ask.

"How did you know? That's Luke's brother.

"Oh, my mom loves football. You think maybe he would give me an autograph for her?"

"I bet he would Owen is cool," Hart said grabbing my hand and locking our fingers together as we walked up.

I guess he is letting his family know we are together or at least doing something together.

"I'm so glad you came Ayla!" Poppy said!

"I wouldn't miss it, Poppy!" I smiled.

Luke and Owen walked over and Hart introduced us. "Ayla knows who you are Owen," Hart said.

"Really?" Owen smiled.

"My mom is a big fan of Texas A&M." I smiled.

"Think you could sign something for her mom?" Hart asked.

"Of course! My first autograph." He smiled.

He's cute but he's got nothing on Hart. I looked over at Hart and smiled.

"Ayla I'm so glad you made it! I want you to come up to the makeup room and pick some things out." Holland said.

"Really? I'm excited thank you Holland." I smiled.

We all stood around while Brennon shot a balloon on a hay bale and blue powder burst everywhere!

"Oh my gosh, another boy!" Poppy giggled.

Hart put his arm around me and smiled. "Poppy is now outnumbered."

"Alright we waited with the other two but we want names." Worth said.

"Fine, we already picked a name for either gender dad." Poppy said.

"Well, what is it?" He asked.

"River Thomas Bale" Poppy said.

"I love it, Poppy." I smile.

"Thomas is after Luke's grandpa and well we like the name River." She said.

We sit and eat chips, cake and ice cream and talked amongst each other.

Brennon sit down beside me and smiled. "So are you two together?"

"Umm we are seeing each other I guess," I said.

"Is it Facebook official?" He asked.

"Umm no." I laughed.

"Hart, why are you two not Facebook official?" Brennon asked.

"Because we are adults and don't need to post it on Facebook Brennon." He laughed.

He reaches for my hand under the table and squeezed it and I smiled over at him.

We stayed around until way after dark and I went upstairs with Holland to pick out makeup and I couldn't believe this room.

"Wow, I don't know what to say." I laughed.

"Pick anything you want. I don't care how much you take. My sister-in-law and best friend they come get whatever and Poppy does at times but not often."

"I'm overwhelmed I love it all." I laughed.

"I honestly don't care what you take Ayla."  She said.

I went around looking and stuff and straightening up how it was all messed up.

When Holland walked back into the room she did a double-take. "Did you straighten this up?"

"Yeah, I hate a mess." I laughed.

"Do you need a job? I need someone down at the store." She asked.

"Really? I would love to work there. I hate working at the diner it's just all I could find." I shrugged.

"I'm serious Ayla. I need another sales associate and you know my products." She smiled.

"I would love to. Just tell me when and where to be there." I said.

"I will get back to you ok? But it's definitely a yes!" She smiled.
