Chapter 15

I wake to the smell of coffee and bacon, and it puts a smile on my face. I stretch my arms and legs out in the middle of the bed and look outside at the bright blue sky. May is my favorite month in Atlanta. The mornings are cool, the afternoons are warm, and all of the trees are full and green again. I exhale a contented breath, throw the duvet back, and look at my growing bump, which has worked its way out of my pajama top. “Good morning,” I say softly, and she rolls under my belly button, making me smile. “Can you hear me?” I ask louder, patting the spot, but she doesn’t move. “Baby,” I sing, gently pushing on either side of my stomach, but she stays still.

Sam walks into the room, looking freshly showered, carrying a tray of pancakes, bacon, and coffee. “What are you doing?” he asks, watching me with a concerned look on his face.

“Trying to get her move”—I sit up—“but she’s not cooperating.”

He puts the tray down on the nightstand and sits on the bed beside me.

“You made me breakfast?” I ask with adoring eyes.

“Well”—he leans over and kisses me softly—“I decided to take the day off. I was thinking that maybe you could too.”

I smile and nod. “Okay,” I say without an ounce of hesitation.

He puts his hand on my tummy and rubs it softly, and the baby bumps it twice. He smiles with wide eyes and rubs it again.

“Maybe she was waiting for you.” I glance up at him. “Tell her good morning. She knows your voice now.”

He gives me a wary look, but leans down and says softly, “Good morning, baby.”

I smile and lie down again. “A little louder.”

He puts both of his hands on my protruding stomach, hiding the entire bump behind them, and says again louder, “Good morning, baby.”

She rolls and kicks hard against his hand.

“See,” I say over the tight feeling in my chest, and he laughs. “She knows you.”

He rubs his hands back and forth and leans down again. “I have a surprise for your mom today. But I think you’re going to like it too.” She kicks again and he looks up at me. “We’re going to go see a house.”

I sit up and pull my shirt down over my stomach. “We are?”

“The realtor called this morning. She has one she wants to show us. She said it has potential…” He narrows his eyes.

“Potential is good.”

“It has to be great. This is the house we’re going to raise our kids in.” I smile at him and he hands me a cup of coffee. “This one’s decaf.”

“Thank you.” I can’t stop smiling. For the first time since the accident, everything feels right again. I take a sip and look up at his freshly shaved face. “Hey.”

He looks up at me from his coffee.

“I love you.”

He smiles and puts his coffee down on the nightstand. “I love you too.”

“It’s been a while since we had pancakes,” I say, eyeing the tray.
