“I know the longer we sit around here arguing the more time we’re wasting.”
“Point taken. Let’s go.”
About forty-five minutes later, he’s glaring at me while holding our baby boy.
He covers the baby’s ears and says, “Had time my ass. We almost didn’t make it.”
The doctor laughs. “I have to admit, that was one of the fastest deliveries I’ve been a part of.”
“You mean it could have gone faster?” Cash asks, appalled.
She nods, walking over to where he’s standing. “But look at it this way, less time means you get your perfect baby boy quicker. The nurse will be back in soon to help you get started with his first feeding.”
“He is pretty perfect,” Cash agrees, looking down at him.
“Can I hold him?” I ask.
Cash actually seems to consider my question before he brings him to me.
“Isn’t he beautiful?”
“Look at that dark hair. Is it too soon to think he looks like you?”
I swear I see his chest puff out. “Of course he does.”
“Is Brooklyn here yet?”
He looks at his phone and checks the location detector app. “Three minutes away.”
“I feel so bad. She wanted to be here.”
“I’m going to pull out my gentleman card and not remind you that you were the one who said it wouldn’t happen this fast.”
I choke on a laugh, which stirs the baby. “That’s very kind of you.”
“You’re welcome. Hadley?”
“Hmm?”
He leans down and kisses my forehead, then presses his against mine. “Thank you. You amaze me. You were so strong and calm and I’m sorry for freaking out before we got here.”
“You were pretty amazing once we got here, though. I was only calm because of you.”
“I was a mess on the inside.”
I reach up a hand and cup his cheek. “I know.”
There’s a soft knock on the door and a nurse pops her head in. “You have your first visitor.”
I smile, knowing it’s Brooklyn.
“Oh my gosh,” Brooklyn cries, rushing to my side. “I have a brother,” she coos.
I gently place him in her arms and she takes a seat in the chair next to the bed.
“What’s his name?”
“We wanted you to be here to help us decide. We’re still between the three names.”
