Then, now, always.
“Hey!” Chance exclaimed, bringing our attention over to him.
“Can you stop flirting in front of me please?”
She snapped, “We’re not flirting.”
“Speak for yourself,” I added, and she eyed me skeptically.
“Listen,” Chance proclaimed. “Before I forget, I appreciate you two letting me be here.”
Hazel smiled. “Of course, you’re the uncle. I’m happy you were able to make it.”
He nodded at her stomach. “What do you think it is?”
“I don’t care.” She shrugged. “I’ll be happy with either.”
“Well, I think it’s a boy,” he remarked.
“You do?” she asked, taken aback. “Why?”
“Because it’s karma for lying to me all these years. You’re going to have a mini-Ledger with you at all times.”
Her eyes widened. “Oh man, I didn’t think about that.”
I chuckled. “Be careful what you wish for, Chance. He’ll have your genes too, and let me remind you, you’re still single for a reason.”
“Eh.”
I nodded. “Tell that to all the women you take to bed and then kick out.”
“I learned from the best.” He smiled. “What do you think the baby is?”
“I think it’s a girl, and I hope to God she’s a mini-Hazel. I’d love nothing more than to have her with me at all times.”
Our eyes connected.
I didn’t hide how I felt about her. She was aware of how much I still wanted her, but I didn’t push the subject. Despite what I told her, I had no plans to let her go again.
She was mine.
She just hadn’t admitted it yet.
Felicia opened the door. “Hello, everyone.”
After she set Hazel up, my heart started beating a mile a minute.
Seconds.
Minutes.
Hours could have gone by.
Until a loud, fast heartbeat filled the silence of the room.
“Are you ready to know what you’re having?”
“Yes,” we announced together.
