SAVANNAH SLEPT FOR several hours. Jack ate dinner, brought in enough wood for the next few days, and tried to call his parents, but with the storm, there was no cell reception. Snow was now coming down at a blinding rate. He hoped that by morning it would let up. He’d already decided that as soon as it did, they were flying back home. He wasn’t going to take a chance of getting stuck on the mountain in another flash storm. When Savannah had said the word contractions, all he could think was that he’d failed her. They were at the cabin in the middle of a snowstorm, and her doctors were forever and a day away, back in New York City, where they lived. He knew she needed this time away for just the two of them. The cabin had always felt a world away from their real lives back in the city, where Savannah’s legal practice awaited. He wondered how many times her best friend and coworker, Aida, had tried to call over the past twenty-four hours. She and Aida were thick as thieves, and he knew Aida was on pins and needles about the baby, just as they were.

He tossed another log on the fire and stretched out on the recliner, keeping a close eye on Savannah, asleep on the couch. Truthfully, he’d wanted this time away just as badly as she did, but now it was time to go home. Time to get his wife back to civilization, where contractions wouldn’t cause him heart palpitations, because her doctors were just a phone call and a short cab ride away.

Savannah was sleeping soundly on her side, with a pillow tucked between her knees. Her hair was spread across the cushions, and Jack swore he’d never seen anyone smile in their sleep as much as Savannah did. He loved that about her. She was such a positive light in his life, and had been since the day they’d met. Oh, she was stubborn as a mule. He thought she got that from her father, Hal, but Hal swore she was exactly like her mother had been. Savannah was also tender and loving, and she was always pushing Jack past his comfort zone, making him a better man, which was another thing he loved about her.

Jack dozed off, listening to the crackling of the fire and the even cadence of Savannah’s breathing.

He startled awake in the middle of the night, unsure of what had woken him. The cabin was dark, the fire burnt to embers. He tended to the fire, adding more wood to keep them warm, and heard Savannah moan in her sleep. He set the screen before the fireplace and knelt beside his sleeping wife. He didn’t want to wake her. She’d been so tired after their walk; she really needed to rest. Once the baby was born, they’d be up every few hours at night, and though he knew she’d enjoy every moment with their new baby, he also knew she needed to get as much rest as possible before the birth.
