Chapter 8

It was almost midnight when Zach walked into the waiting room, wearing a pair of scrubs and looking more than a little exhausted. Megan sat forward in her seat and held her breath.

“We have a girl,” he said with a big grin on his face. “A beautiful, healthy baby girl with a head of black hair like her mother.” Everyone jumped up to congratulate him—Megan, Alex, Summer, and Ethan, along with Robert and Janice Montgomery, who had left Amber with the nanny.

Megan leaned into Alex as he wrapped his arms around her while they listened to Zach talk about how Gabriella and the baby were doing. Reaching up, she swiped away a stray tear or two—which was so unlike her. She wasn’t an overly emotional person, but somehow being here to experience something so amazing…it affected her more than she’d thought it would.

“You okay?” Alex murmured softly in her ear.

She nodded.

At first he didn’t say anything, just kissed her on the temple. “It’s pretty incredible, right?”

She nodded again.

“Look at your cousin’s face,” he said quietly, so only she could hear. “I’ve known Zach for a while now, and I’ve never seen him look so happy.”

“I’ve known him my whole life, and I’ve never seen him look like that,” she replied and wiped away another few tears. “I’m so happy for him. For both of them. I swear I’m still in awe at how calm Gabriella was through the whole thing. Summer and I were freaking out, and Gabriella was the voice of reason.” She paused and laughed softly. “We should probably apologize to her for that.”

But Alex shook his head. “Nah. That’s just the way she is. She’s crazy efficient and always in control. I’m sure she was glad to have a distraction.”

“I’m sure she was glad we were able to find our way out of the parking lot,” Megan joked. “It was touch-and-go there for a minute or two.”

“In about fifteen minutes, you’ll be able to go down to the nursery to see her, but I think Gabriella would appreciate everyone waiting until the morning to visit with her. She’s exhausted,” Zach was saying.

“Have you decided on a name?” Janice asked, her voice thick with emotion, and Megan watched as her aunt wiped away happy tears of her own.

Zach smiled. “Willow. She is Willow Grace Montgomery.”

And right then and there Megan’s heart melted even more. If anyone would have asked her to speak, she knew she wouldn’t be able to, and Alex must have sensed it because he held her a little tighter.

Zach excused himself and told them when to return, and for the next few minutes there was a flurry of excited conversation that Megan only listened to. Summer went for her phone to call her brother James while her mother called Ryder. Robert and Ethan were talking business, and Alex turned Megan in his arms.

“We missed our date tonight,” he said, placing a kiss on the tip of her nose.

“This was just as good.”

He smiled. “It wasn’t quite the romantic setting I was going for.
