“I’m gonna be a daddy?”

Elli nodded again, tears welling up in her eyes.

“Yes, and I have a feeling you’ll be the best.”

A shaky, slow smile started to build as the surprise sank in. He was going to be a daddy. He stood, coming around the desk, pulling her up into his arms, before kissing her senseless. When he pulled back and looked down at her as big wet tears streamed down her face, he felt like he was going to cry, too, he had never been this happy.

A baby, their baby.

“We’re having a baby.”

“We are Shea, and I couldn’t be happier.”

Shea lifted her into his arms, kissing her lavishly. As they parted, Shea grinned against her lips.

“Oh baby, I love you.”

“Not as much as I love you.”
