I pulled away and looked into the face of the woman who had just given me the greatest gift I never knew I wanted. “I don’t care what it takes. We are going to be the two best parents this baby will ever know.”
She dipped her chin as a tear rolled down her cheek. I caught it with my thumb and stroked her chin.
“We can do this, Griff.”
I kissed her forehead. “We can totally do this.”
My heart told me what my head refused to admit.
There was something between Brooke and me. And fuck if I didn’t want to see it grow now that the seed had been planted.
“Brooke, we’ve never only been Allie’s parents. Whether we realized it or not, we were always together.”
“You better believe that everything is about to change.”
The corner of Griff’s eyes crinkled as he smiled over the top of our daughter’s head. “There is nowhere else I would rather be than here with my two girls.”
A mere three hours ago, I would have bristled at him calling me one of his girls.
We were just friends who happened to share a child.
But as I stared into eyes that burned with a longing I felt deep inside. I knew the truth.
I was his girl.
And I had been for a long time.
“You were more than I could have asked for, and you’ve been right in front of me the whole time, and I didn’t even see it.”
“You are the absolute love of my life. Somewhere, deep down, I think I’ve always known that I loved you.”
