“So, Palmer. When are you and Christopher going to give me grandkids?” Grace asked again, just like the other day, as they put the food on the dining table. Hearing that request from his mother from the doorway, he couldn’t help but tense while he looked at Thomas, who patted his shoulder in a sympathetic manner. Palmer shrugged her shoulders, but at that moment, she saw their men walk in with the plate of meat. She smiled, striding towards her husband to give him a kiss. “Hello, handsome. Did you have a good time outside?” she asked. He gave her a faint smile, but she had noticed it was not the usual smile he always had. “Are you okay?” “Yeah, I’m okay. Just hungry, so let’s join Mom and Thomas,” he replied, putting his arm on her shoulder before leading her to the dining area to enjoy the dinner. The evening was enjoyable as they chatted and joked about their daily routines, lightening up the tension in Christopher’s body. That was, until Grace asked them again the questi

Faith looked at him and scoffed in disbelief as he stood up from the chair and grabbed Cheyenne in his arms, walking out of the house. She put the napkin on the table, stood up, and hugged her parents, apologizing for Gunner's behavior. “I’ll see you later,” she said, kissing them on their foreheads, a habit she always had since she was a kid. Connor stood up and taking advantage of Gunner not being present, attempted to kiss her cheek, but she moved away. “Come on, Faith. Are you going to let your fiancé tell you what to do? He’s not even your husband,” he mentioned with a smile. She rolled her eyes, annoyed at what just happened. “He’s not my husband, but he deserves respect, and you surely didn’t give him that. How dare you flirt with me in front of him, and with my daughter present as well?” Faith didn’t let him say anything else when she stormed out of the house, getting in the truck where Gunner sat silently before they drove back to their house. They were both uncomfortably

“Well, let’s check your blood pressure and then if you could provide me with a urine sample, that would be great,” the nurse mentioned. After doing everything she was told to do, Chloe asked them to wait for the doctor. Christopher stood from the chair, approaching Palmer before he raised his hands and put a strand of hair behind her ear. She was still upset at him, and was trying hard to stay quiet and ignore him, but his calloused hands felt warm on her skin as he stroked her cheek. “I’m scared,” he whispered. Palmer looked at his icy blue eyes and smiled faintly at him before he continued. “I’m scared of what could happen in the future.” She grabbed his hand and kissed his knuckles, leaning her cheek against it as she thought of what to tell him. “Let’s just live into the moment, Chris. Let’s live a day at a time, and not worry what will happen tomorrow, because we don’t know if we’ll wake up. I love you and it hurts me to see you like this, but know that I’m here for you. I hav

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

“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
