Finding You (Love Wanted in Texas #4) Page 57

Placing my hand on her belly, I bit on my lip to control my emotions. “Yes we did, Alex.”

“This day couldn’t get any better!” Alex said as we both hugged each other. Turning and looking at Will, Alex made her way over to him with a skip in her step. Wrapping her up in his arms, Will whispered something into her ear and then kissed her. My eyes moved across the room until they found those amazing caramel eyes that caused my heart to skip a beat every time I looked into them.

Noah gave me a quick wink before he focused back on what Colt and Luke were talking to him about. I couldn’t help but smile at the whole picture.

Walking over to the open sign, I turned it off and made my way over to Noah. I could hear Colt and Luke trying to talk Noah into stopping by Scott’s ranch and talking to him about a new software that tracked income and expenses.

Colt almost seemed to be pleading. “Noah, I’m telling you, Scott would really be interested in talking to you.”

Holding up his hands, Noah said, “Guys, I’m focusing on helping the girls run this business. Maybe once we get things up and running, we can talk about me . . . expanding.”

Luke pushed Colt out of the way and asked, “What about the stock market today? Thoughts?”

Noah and I both laughed. “It seems like you boys don’t know when to leave my man alone.”

Luke rolled his eyes at me. “Please, you get him all the time, Grace. I need investment advice. I have a child to put through college. Stow your horny self in a corner or something?”

Dropping my mouth open, I punched Luke in the chest as he screamed out, “Ouch!”

“Fuck you, Luke! I’ll show you where you can stow your—”

Will stepped in-between us as Colt and Noah busted out laughing. “Break it up. Come on y’all. We just had an amazing grand opening. Now let’s go meet everyone else for dinner.”

Pointing to Luke, I said, “This isn’t over, vagina face!”

Luke placed his hands over his chest and said, “Oh, Oh . . . that hurt! Not! Is that all you got, dick dancer?”

Frowning, I shook my head in disbelief. “Stupid ass, Meg’s the dick dancer.” Looking to the right like he was thinking, Luke nodded in agreement. “Shit, that’s right.”

“Oh my God, y’all, will you please stop it. I’m starving, so can we please head out? We still have to drive to Fredericksburg,” Alex said as she grabbed her purse and headed to the front door.

“My baby and I need food, and I’m not afraid to bust someone’s nuts if I have to wait much longer.”

Placing my hand over my heart, I smiled and said, “See. That’s the Alex I love and adore.”

Colt laughed and jogged over to the front door. “I’m here! I’m here. Gesh, I should have rode with Lauren and her parents.”

Will unlocked the door and held it open for Alex and Colt. “Lock it after we walk out. Don’t forget to set the alarm to away, Grace.”

Pushing him out the door, I said, “Yes, Mom.”

The door shut and I locked it.

A few minutes later, Noah, Luke, and I were following Will, Alex, and Colt to Cabernet Grill. As we drove, we talked about how amazing the first day of Wild Flower’s grand opening was.

“I’m thinking once the word really gets out, business will pick up even more. Everyone is going to want to start getting their spring gardens going.”

“I still can’t believe my little sister is a business owner,” Luke said as I glanced at him in the backseat.

Grinning like a fool, I said, “I know! Me either!”

Turning back, I looked over at Noah and noticed he was frowning. “What’s wrong?”

Noah slowly shook his head. “Will’s swerving all over the place.”

Looking out the front window, my mouth dropped open. “What’s he doing?” Pulling out my phone, I called Alex’s cell phone but she didn’t answer.

“She’s not answering,” I said as fear engulfed my whole body.

“I’m calling Colt right now to see what’s going on,” Luke said from the backseat. “Colt, what in the hell is Will doing? He’s going to wreck with the way he’s driving!”

My heart rate must have increased a hundred percent. Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.

“What? Are you sure?”

I turned to face Luke. “What’s wrong?” I asked.

Holding up his finger, Luke kept talking to Colt. “Have Will pull the fuck over so you can drive. Get Alex into the back seat.” Luke looked at me and said, “Grace, call Dr. Johnson’s office. Tell them we’re on our way to the hospital. Alex’s water just broke.”
