“Daddy!” Collin giggled as Logan scooped him up and tossed him into the air.

My heart melted at the sight of them together. Charlie looked more and more like Logan every day while Collin was the two-year-old version of me. But he and his dad shared a special bond. They were inseparable.

Logan had vowed not to miss a moment of Collin’s life, and he hadn’t. The same was true with Charlie. Every step of the way, he was the most engaged and loving father I ever could have hoped for. And I knew he’d be the same with our baby girl.

I stroked my belly, hoping that spicy pizza would do the trick. Then I sat back down and spent the rest of the evening talking with my husband while he bartended and my kids ate some pizza before going to the cottage with their Gran.

Jackson left to go home not long after dinner, and by eleven o’clock, it was just me and Logan in the bar.

We were sitting in a back-corner booth. Both of us were crammed in on one side because this spot had the best view out the front windows. From here, you could see outside and across the highway where the lake peeked out between a grove of trees. Tonight, the moonlight was dancing on the rippled water.

“I’m so tired.” I leaned deeper into Logan’s side and yawned.

“I know you are, baby. I wish there was something I could do.”

I smiled. “Just love me. Even when I’m acting crazy and hoarding lemon wedges.”

He chuckled. “I love you no matter what.” With his arm around me, he hugged me closer. “We need to get you home. Let’s close up early.”

“Good idea.”

But neither of us made a move to leave. Instead, we sat together enjoying the peaceful moment until my first contraction squeezed. Then the second. During the third, Logan was racing down the highway toward the hospital in Kalispell.

And by nine the next morning, Logan and I were cuddled together in a hospital bed with Charlie, Collin and our baby girl, Camila Hazel Kendrick.

My family.

Finding them had been so worth the wait.
