Page 41 of Happily Ever Maybe

For all our fighting, things worked now.

I wasn’t going to look fate directly in the eyes andquestion it.

We made our way to work, driving together because Jen didn’tfeel like squeezing behind the wheel, and as we walked in, Daisy looked up andsmiled.

“There’s my favorite pregnant person.”

“Aren’t your cousins pregnant, too?”

“Yes, but you’re my favorite pregnant person in this room.How’s that?” she asked as she held out her hand. “May I?”

“Stop asking. You know you’re always allowed to.”

Daisy laughed. “True, but I don’t want to get kicked by youand not just the baby.”

Jen rolled her eyes as I held back a laugh, going to my desk.

“I only kicked Kane once. And that’s because he surprisedme.”

“I feel like I still have a bruise on my shin,” Kane saidfrom the back room. I laughed, settling into this new whirlwind of a life of ours.

Everything was just so happy. We still worked with somedangerous elements, but not always. Now, we fit together and were making itwork. I didn’t know what was in store for us for the future, but there were nomaybes about who we were now.

And didn’t that make me sound like a greeting card?

I didn’t care, though. Because my wife was gorgeous,pregnant, happy, and could still kick my ass.

What more could a man want?

“So, are you off this next week?” Jen asked, and Daisynodded. “I have a friend’s wedding.”

“Someone not related to you?” I asked, incredulous.

“I know it’s shocking to be at a wedding that’s not for aMontgomery, like yours was, but yes. It’s no one you guys know.”

“Interesting,” Jennifer drawled, and Daisy rolled her eyes.

“Not that kind of interesting. Have fun while I’m gone.Don’t burn the place down.”

“I’m not making any promises,” Kane put in.

Daisy sighed. I looked over at the desk next to mine andsmiled at my wife.

“You doing good?”

“Always.”

“The happiness in this room is making me ill,” Kane grumbledas he went back to the workroom.

I chuckled as I returned to my paperwork since I had ameeting soon, and Jen had a consult.

This was only our beginning. It may have started with anactual explosion, but I would take the fire, heat, and our version of theunknown every day.

Because I had fallen for my partner, my best friend. And Ihadn’t realized it until it was almost too late.

I would never take her or our life for granted.

Even when she kicked my butt to remind me.
