	Nate picked her up, carrying her and placing her down on the bed. "I love you more," he smiled and kissed her back.  
	 |  
	 |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	Dakota smiled. "I don't think that's possible" She breathed, closing her eyes  
	 |  
	 |    |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	Nate smiled, tucking her in and flopping down next to her. "Oh, but it is, darling,"  
	 |  
	 |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	"Are you excited to grow our family?" She aske quietly after a moment, thinking  
	 |  
	 |    |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	Nate smiled, cuddling into her. "Very,"  
	 |  
	 |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	Nate smiled and kissed her.  
	 |  
	 |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	Dakota kissed him back tiredly. She broke away, curling up with him and sighing with closed eyes  
	 |  
	 |    |   
	
	 | 
|   | 
  
  | 
	Nate wrapped his arms around her with a smile.  
	 |  
	 |

	Dakota slowly drifted to sleep.  ~~  Dakota woke the next morning on-edge for no reason at all. She got up quickly but was careful to not wake Nate as she popped on some jeans, a t-shirt, a sweatshirt, and her boots. She jogged out to Secret but paused for a moment, thinking. She jogged back inside and wrote a note before leaving it beside Nate. I'm going for a ride. I'll be fine. I love you. -Dakota She went back outside and tacked up before double-checking she had her phone and heading into the woods
