The minute the words are out of her mouth, my throat goes dry. “What are you saying?”
“I talked to Dr. Fieldstone last week. It seems we’re going to have a new little family member when springtime rolls around.”
She lets out a squeal when I flip her onto her back. Whipping the sheet aside, I spread my palm over her flat stomach.
“In here?” I press my lips against her skin, right above her navel.
She laughs and nods her head. “It’s too soon to know if it’s a girl or a boy…”
Closing my eyes, I lower my forehead to her stomach. She threads her fingers into the sides of my hair.
“Are you happy?” Her voice sounds slightly concerned.
“Noel… I am so happy.” My voice breaks, and I hug her closer. “So happy.”
She leans back, finding my eyes. “We haven’t been married a year. We haven’t even had a honeymoon—”
“I’ll take you anywhere you want to go, my love.” Leaning forward, I capture her lips with mine. “Say the word, and we’re there. We’ve got all the time in the world.”
“Oh, Taron.” She hugs me, burying her face against my shoulder. “I can’t tell you how happy you make me.”
Those words are all I ever want to hear. She’s given me everything I’ve ever wanted. She loved me, she waited for me…
Only a few days later, my sweet daughter has a party with her best friend Boo and her new friend Darcy. When Digger drops off his niece, I can’t even find it in me to be annoyed by him.
“I guess I have to put up with you.” His lip curls as he drops off Darcy.
“I bet you figure it out.” Holding out my hand, I’m a little surprised when he shakes it. Then again, I’m used to much bigger assholes than Digger Hayes.
Standing in the kitchen, holding Noel in my arms, my hands are on her stomach as we watch the girls playing.
“You just think your daddy’s a prince.” Darcy’s tone hasn’t changed, but my Dove’s has.
“My daddy’s not a prince,” she answers sweetly. “He’s a hero. He saved me and Mamma.”
My heart rises in my chest, and I slide my palm over Noel’s stomach, whispering in her ear, “And you saved me right back.”
“I said I’d wait for you.”
“Thank God, you did.”
