CHAPTER SIX

The first thing Jocelyn did when she awakened on Monday morning was reach out for Jonah, but he wasn’t there. Instead of warm, hair-roughened skin, her hand landed on cool bedding, and she opened her eyes to the hazy morning light spilling in from the far wall of glass, wondering where he’d gone.

She took a minute to just enjoy the view, then climbed out of bed and pulled on a pair of yoga pants and a tank top, planning to track him down. First, though, she peeked in on Davey and found him still sound asleep in the guest bedroom, the stuffed penguin that Jonah had bought him clutched tight in his little arms. The room had so many of Davey’s things in it now, from his building blocks in the corner, to his storybooks on the bedside table and his stuffed animals propped up against the footboard, that it no longer had that pristine, but uncomfortably cold vibe from Saturday, when they’d first brought Davey home from the hospital. Instead, there was an air of warmth that had gentled the space. One that had spread through the entire penthouse, making it seem more of a home than a showpiece, and she knew, in her heart, that Jonah loved the transformation.

A small smile curved her lips as she thought about how they were all changing—Jonah and her and Davey—growing into something more than they’d been before. And what it was was something beautiful. Something worth fighting for, no matter how many gut-wrenching pieces of Jonah’s past Valerie Johnson wanted to throw in her face, hoping to hurt her.

There’d been a moment, on Saturday night, where she’d almost let the bitch win. But that wasn’t going to happen again.

With that fierce thought of determination burning in her mind, Jocelyn left Davey to sleep a bit longer and stepped back into the hallway. Cocking her head to the side, she listened for any clues as to where Jonah might be and caught the faint sound of his low voice coming from his home office. Heading in that direction, she stopped in the open doorway and propped her shoulder against the doorjamb as she took him in. Simply took a moment to appreciate how delicious he looked, his tall, lean, perfectly muscled body sprawled back in the chair by the window, long legs stretched out before him as he said goodbye to whoever he’d been talking to. His auburn hair was still damp from his shower, dark and tousled, his incredible blue eyes hooded as he read whatever message had just popped up on his phone. And the way his white shirt stretched across his broad shoulders and chest should have been a sin.

It was crazy, how someone as gorgeous as him could be so attracted to her. But she was finding it easier to accept each day. He didn’t care about the curve of her belly or the light marks that marred her abdomen from her pregnancy. Didn’t seem to mind
