as if they’re telling me to get away from their mother,” he teased,
his hand glided along her stomach to feel their kicks.
“They’re excited about their
daddy.” She placed her hand over his, and moved it to the other side to feel
their other daughter, the one with a seriously powerful kick. “Our girls are
excited we’ve worked things out.” They weren’t the only ones excited about the
way things were turning out. In under two weeks she’d have the family of her
dreams and she couldn’t wait.
Chapter Eight
Epilogue: Two months later
Jessi grabbed the baby monitor
and quietly eased her way out of the room, leaving Kari and Kami to sleep. She
was exhausted, but today James was joining her and Michael for lunch. Not
wanting to miss it, she’d forgo a nap with the girls.
Outside the door she found
James at the stairs. “Tell me I’m not too late to see them.”
“I just put them down, but you
can look in on them if you’re quiet.” She eased the door open and let him step
in.
“Can’t I just hold one of my
nieces?”
“No!” She nearly cried with
the thought of one of them waking so soon. They were good babies but it seemed
like when one woke the other did too. “You can see them later. Now let’s go eat
before they wake up again.”
Downstairs, her husband,
Michael had just stepped out of his study. “Tessa’s daughter Rosalie is having
allergies issues again and has been taken to the hospital. I need to go.”
Jessi had come to think of
Tessa as a close friend over the last few months. Learning different motherhood
tricks from her had been a blessing. “Go. Let Tessa know if she needs anything
to call me.” She hoped her friend wasn’t alone dealing with a sick child.
Months ago she wouldn’t have thought twice about someone dealing with it alone,
but now a mother herself she realized the stress of seeing your child sick. She
hoped Tessa’s husband, Cameron, or Jordan and Chloe were with her.
“I can go,” James offered.
“You can come with me. We
might have to run some more tests. This sounds more like it could be a food
allergies,” Michael told James before he turned his attention back to her.
“Jordan’s with her, but I’ll let her know of your offer. Are you sure you will
be okay alone?”
“I’ll be fine. Cathy’s here if
I need any help, you know how she loves those girls. Go take care of Rosie, she
needs you now.” She took a step towards him and wrapped her arms around his
waist. “I love you.”
“I love you too.” He pressed
his lips to hers.
After years of solitude, Jessi
finally had the man she always loved and two beautiful girls to show for it.
There was nothing better than that. Waiting proved she could have her very own
happy every after.
