Excerpt –
“Darlin’, your daddy would be so proud of you today. And he’d be over the moon that you named that sweet baby boy after him.”
“Aw, thanks, Mom. That means a lot to me.”
“He loved you so much, baby girl. When he knew that his time was short, he gave me a message to pass on to you when the time was right. To be honest with you, shugah, I think that’s why I gave Draegyn such a hard time at first. I thought that we’d have this talk when you got married. Then you put that darling baby in my arms, all I could think at first was…this is Daniel’s grandchild. When you told me his name—it was like you were picking up my thoughts.”
Tori snuggled closer and started crying softly. “What did Daddy say, Mom? What did he want me to know?”
“He said that no matter what happened, even a long time after he was gone, I was to tell you how very much he loved you and that he wanted you to know that though he wasn’t here, he’d be with you always.”
Tears were streaming down her face now, too. “When I heard the baby’s name, I thought, My love, how right you were. Victoria, sweetheart—now you really and truly will have him with you. Always.
Tori broke down sobbing in an avalanche of tears as Stephanie cried, too, and rocked her in her arms. In some weird, karmic way—the circle remained unbroken.
Draegyn found them like that a while later when he returned to the suite, and he didn’t seem in the least surprised to find them crying and clinging to each other.
He scooped Daniel from the bassinette and brought him over to them for some good-bye kisses.
Mom Mom kisses, my boy,” he mock whispered with a chuckle. “Enjoy them. This is the lady who’s going to defy all your parents’ wishes, and who you’ll run to when we drive you crazy as a teenager.”
Stephanie was lighthearted but also very, very emotional as she left the room. When she discovered Calder right there on the other side of the door, she let him sweep her into a comforting embrace.
“Take me home,” she murmured, glad for the supportive arm about her waist.
