Chapter 237: Annie's new name

River POV

"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself River. We'll do it again some time." He kisses my hand.

Kraizen quickly puts his arm around my waist as we head out the door.

On the way down the elevator I look at the camera as it moves and wave to my brother.

"Everything's fine Ryder. We're heading home." I say blowing him a kiss as we step out.

"I think that went well." I say walking to the front lobby.

Kraizen nods but keeps up his pace hurrying us to the doors.

"Hold on it's raining let me put my shoes back on." I lean down almost falling over.

"Really River." He says laughing picking up my shoes and throwing me over his shoulder.

"Kraizen." I squeal out laughing.

He opens the door putting me down in the seat. He shuts the door and quickly runs to his side getting in.

I'm still laughing.

"Why are you laughing so hard?" He says laughing.

"You just threw me over your shoulder and ran us to the car." I laugh out.

"River your drunk." He says laughing.

I must have fell asleep on the way home.

I wake up as I'm being carefully carried in the house. I know these huge arms around me.

"Hi Honey." I slur out trying to kiss him.

"Hi Kitten. Let's get you to bed." He says leaning his face to me so I can kiss him.

"Kraizen the guest room is still yours if your staying." Lucky tells him behind me. I reach my hand out to him.

"Goodnight Kraizen." I yell.

"Shhhh Kitten, you'll wake our daughter." He says in my ear.

I giggle as I whisper back in Pickle's ear "Or what?" He growls as he bites my neck.

"Will you spank me, if I don't?" I say is a low voice.

"Lucky if your coming in lock the door behind us. Someone's being a naughty girl." Pickle says with a rough voice.

"Fuck yes I'm coming." Lucky says winking at Kraizen running up the stairs behind us.

Three months later

"Everyone please help us welcome Annie Chailor Smith-Spencer to her forever family." The judge says as we sign the last page of the adoption forms. Chailor, Lincoln and Pickle all clap and join us as we take some pictures. The adoption took longer than planed because we had to wait until August Abbott's parental rights were resolved.

We are all smiles as we walk into the clubhouse for her official adoption party we hold for every kid that gets adopted through the center. Pickle is carrying her with me and Lucky behind them hand in hand. We have a great party and Annie loves running around telling everyone her new name. Chailor is huge and only a month from her due date. We had to have a talk with Annie once she noticed her belly getting bigger. It was a rough few weeks of us constantly reminding her that not everybody has a baby in their belly and it's not appropriate to walk up to strangers and rub their bellies.

I laugh watching as she happily parades Chailor around telling everyone that's who she's named after and telling them about her baby cousin in her belly.

Lucky carries her out to the car. Her face is still smeared with chocolate frosting from her adoption cake she lifts her head off his shoulder and looks at me "Mommy now that I have my new name can I have a sister now like Tommy?"

Her friend Tommy was adopted. His parents just brought home the baby girl they adopted from a young mother. Since she found out she's been asking for a little sister.

"In a month you will have a baby cousin and she'll need a lot of attention for a while remember." She frowns but nods her head.

Pickle kisses her head as he takes her from Lucky to put her in her seat.

"Munchkin I promise when the time right you'll have tons of brothers and sisters."

She smiles huge at him "Remember daddy promises can't be broken."

He puts his pinky out to her, she curves her tiny pinky around his and shakes it.

I watch her fall asleep with a big happy chocolate smile on her face.

Dear Finn,

First of all..Hi, I miss you. I love you.

Second, Your a uncle or Godfather lol..

Hadley River Spencer

6lbs 8oz  22 inchs long.

She has gorgeous red hair like her mama and beautiful gray eyes like her daddy.

She's so beautiful Finn! I've never seen someone so beautiful in my life. She's definitely going to be my favorite person, sorry you've been replaced by a younger model.

Chailor is doing good, she's resting.

She was so strong.

She had a hard time and they wanted to do a c-section but she kept telling them just let my body do it's job then you can do yours.

I'm so proud of her.

Lincoln is a super proud daddy. When she was born he just held her and stared at her for a long time, it was a beautiful moment.

I got some pictures of all of us in one shot, so you will only have to carry one picture.

We all miss you so much.

I'm sending you a ton of photos. I'll send more as everyone meets her.

Wait till you see her my love. She's going to steal your heart. I can't wait for Annie to meet her. She's going to be so excited her baby cousin is finally here.

I'm holding her while I'm writing this and she's so tiny, I just spent the last 10 minutes telling her all about you. I played her the voice messages you recorded for her on Chailor and Lincoln's phones.

Only 18 months till your home. I'm taking a advanced photography classes now so we have framed pictures all over the house. Our walls are covered with so much love and memories.

Well I'm going to have to change some out now with the new baby pictures I'm going to take of her. Then more when we're all together again.

I don't know how to decorate our house so Chailor has been helping me. I need to know what you want to add. Any decorating tips or things you want added? I like how it is now but it's fun adding new things.

Oh yeah I had to send the pictures separate cause there is to many lol. I want a million of these tiny creatures. I want a big family full of happy smiling kids.

Hadley's awake and says "Hi uncle Finn can't wait to meet you" I'm sending you a little video of her waving to you. I love you so much my sexy soldier man and I can't wait to have a million babies with you.

I better wake up Chailor I think she's hungry. She's getting fussy, she's like a hangry Chailor. I better call for back up lol.

Be safe my love and always remember we're here waiting for you.

I love you so much Finley Spencer with my whole heart and soul.

Xoxo River
