Proposition (27 page)

“No, of course not.” She gave him a long searching look, before she rested her gaze back on the baby. “It’s just I misjudged you so much. I was so stupid and blind from the very beginning.”

“No...” he wanted to protest, but she interrupted him.

“Yes,” she leaned over the baby to place a soft kiss on his cheek. “Thank you for everything,” she said, her voice trembling as she blinked her tears away. “For my father, for Peter, for giving me the baby...” Her voice caught in her throat.

Jake hugged her to him, careful not to crush his son.

The baby started to squeak and kick in protest at his personal space being invaded. They both laughed.

“I think he doesn’t like to have his dinner interrupted,” Jake remarked as he pulled away.

“I think so, too.” Amy brought little Thomas closer, and the baby again concentrated all his attention on suckling.

“I love you.” Jake kissed her gently on the lips and then his son’s hand.

“We love you, too,” she replied.
