Two years later
“Ready to go,” she called out to her husband. They were traveling to Charlotte today in order to be at the Christening of their niece, Charity.
Sawyer fiddled with his tie. “You don’t think it’s weird that Jack picked us to be godparents?”
“No. It’s his way of including you, and letting you know that he wants to be part of your life.” She brushed his hand away and adjusted his blue tie. “Stop worrying and just go with the flow.”
He rubbed his large hand over her belly. “Do we have to ask him and Maya to be the godparents of our kid?”
“Duh. Maya’s my best friend. I can’t help that she fell in love with your brother.” It was literally the most romantic thing ever. Jack had fallen hard for Maya as soon as they met at the wedding. “I love that she’s my sister-in-law.”
“And I love that you’re my wife.” He kissed her softly on the lips, then bent down to kiss her belly. “I love you, too.”
The baby kicked against her tummy. “I think that was code for love you, too, daddy.”
Sawyer wrapped his arms around her. “We have to pick a name.”
“We have time.” She had five months to go, but they already knew they were having a girl. The ultrasound had been so clear, so beautiful to watch that even thinking about the tiny toes and fingers and feet now made her want to cry tears of joy. And gosh, don’t even get her started on the ultrasound she had at nine weeks, where they were able to actually see their baby, wriggle its arms and legs, while the heart pumped blood through the body on the screen.
Thanks, pregnancy hormones.
“I’ve been thinking... how would you feel about Gemma.”
Tears pricked at her eyes. “That’s my middle name.”
“And your mother’s middle name, too.”
London sniffed. “Would your momma mind?”
“Hell, no. She’s moving here for God’s sake to help you. She’s not going to begrudge us honoring your mother.”
“Gemma Montgomery Taggart. I like it.”
“It’s a mouthful, and I’m pretty sure she’ll be a handful, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
“Me either.”
Then he kissed her.
And they lived happily ever after.
