His voice was full of emotions. Olivia said yes. All of his happiness lay in his arms. Her soft body against him. It took all the willpower not to pull her under the covers with him, but she deserved to be loved with patience and care. He was determined to wait and show her how much she means to him. He wanted to love and worship every inch of her slowly. To bring her only the joy.

"I love you Austin. I'm happy our daughter will have both of us, the grandparents and uncles to love her." 

"Yes, well, about her uncles. I have to warn you she'll be riding before she'll be walking. My brothers will spoil her. They adore her. See, mother won't be after them." He teased her and give her one of his irresistible smiles. 

"I'm glad she'll have family." 

"My Olivia! How happy you make me." He was kissing nape of her neck. Olivia placed her forehead to his and smiled.

"You make me happy too, but now you have to rest. I'll find my grandma for you. I think you have something to ask her." 

"Don't go yet Olivia. I enjoy having you close. I missed you. " He captured her lips again and groaned from the pleasure it gave him. She was returning his kisses, and that made it even sweeter. He never knew he could love someone this much. She was his. He still couldn't believe it.

"You are so sweet." He murmured in between kisses. 

"I have to go now before grandma comes back. I'll send her over here.," 

He reluctantly let her go, "Yes, I have an important question to ask her." 

Olivia gives him another quick kiss before hurrying out of his room. 

Wilma was in the kitchen when Olivia found her. One look at her granddaughter and she could see sparks in her eyes.

"Grandma, Austin would like to have a word with you." Olivia beamed with joy.

It pleased Wilma to see her so happy. It couldn't happen to a sweeter person. 

When she came back, she had a big smile on her face," I give him my blessing Olivia and I'm very happy for you. You deserve it my child." Wilma placed a kiss to her cheek," He loves you! I haven't seen a man so much in love in a long time." She went on, but then Wilma noticed tears in Olivia's eyes," Why are you crying Liv?" 

As much Olivia enjoyed her newfound happiness she got worried about her grandma. Leaving "Estate" and going to live on Big J ranch with Austin meant Wilma would be left alone. Olivia couldn't stop the tears. 

"What about you Grandma? You can't stay here by yourself.", she managed in between sobs, "I want Grace to know you. Maybe you could come and live at the ranch." 

"Oh, Olivia please don't worry about me. I expected something like that. Mrs. Helms will be my companion. Part of the year I'll live in Kenth and part of the year she will come here. Olivia, you will come and visit and I will come to see you. We won't be much apart. Thank you for thinking about me Liv, but all will be well. You are the one that deserves happiness and you should think of that. Knowing you and Grace are fine also means I'm happy too." 

Olivia wiped her tears and smile at her grandma giving her a hug, " Thank you Grandma. I love you."

After a few days Austin was back on his feet and feeling better. He didn't like the idea of leaving them behind but knew it was time for him to go home. He needed to get ready for his and Olivia's wedding and also give Olivia time as well. His family is yet to hear the news. Everything must be arranged and perfect for their day. The time couldn't pass fast enough and wedding day couldn't come soon enough for him. 

As he got to know her Austin became fond of Wilma. He was glad she lessened Olivia's worry for her wellbeing. Wilma was full of surprises.

With a heavy heart he left teary Olivia.

"I'll see you next week. Take care of our daughter."

When he got back to the ranch Thimken's coach was there. Those people always found the best time to show up. 

Unfortunately, Victoria was the first person he encountered when he entered the house. 

"Austin! You are home." She looked surprised to see him. 

Nelly came right behind her and glanced at him apologetically. While she searched for words Austin was faster. 

"It is fine, mother. She said yes and nothing else matter. You have a wedding to plan, and your granddaughter is coming home." He grinned from ear to ear. Nelly couldn't hide her tears of happiness. 

"I better go and share the happy news." Nelly almost ran to find her husband. 

Victoria listened with her mouth open unable to say a thing at first.

"I think it would be best if we left. I don't want to be part of that event." 

Austin thought that was the first sensible thing he ever heard from her, but kept that to himself.

"If that suit you, feel free to do so. You have your parents to consider too."

With that, he turned around and left her standing alone. He had more important things on his mind than entertaining spoiled debutante like Victoria. 

Austin never thought having a family will make him this happy. He already imagine more children running around. He gave the orders to clear room next to his. It will be furnished for his daughter. Grace can't be too far from them. She became a big time daddy's girl. 

The news spread on the ranch faster than grassfire. 

Wes and Nolan came inside when they heard Austin was home. They wished him a warm welcome and congratulate him on his engagement. Hearing about the upcoming wedding made them feel relieved. All of them not so secretly hoped for this kind of outcome. They were happy for their brother, but regardless each of them thought;" as long it's not me". 

Austin couldn't stop thinking about Olivia and their future life together. He looked and smiled at his beaming brothers and thought;" it will happen to you too.
