“Hey,” I say, and they look over at me. “I want kisses.” I walk down the step and to them, pushing Amelia’s soft curls behind her ear. “Love you, baby girl.” I kiss her lips.

“Honey bunch and oats.” She finishes the sentence that I started saying to her when she was a year old.

I watch them drive off, waving and then look over at my husband. “What’s that look about?” He stands there at the top of the step with his arms folded over his chest.

“It’s what happy looks like,” he says to me.

“It also looks like you want something.” I walk to him.

“If it’s from you, I want it all,” he says, holding my hand and walking inside with me.

I walk over and grab a piece of pie, zapping it in the oven for a couple of minutes since my boy only likes warm pie. I eat the piece and then go sit on the couch next to Jacob, who moves over so I can lie on him a bit, and he places his hand on my stomach.

I lie here watching whatever he is watching, not even caring at this point. I don’t care about anything when I’m in his arms. My eldest son is fishing with my father, my daughter is baking cupcakes, and my baby is kicking my husband’s hand—I couldn’t be more content. I never thought this would happen. I never thought I would be here after I lost Gabriel. My future was black, and I didn’t see anything. I thought I would never have this. I turn my head to the side and kiss Jacob’s arm. “Love you,” he says to me, and I look up.

“Love you more,” I say. “Thank you.” He looks at me confused. “For giving me a second chance at life.”

“Baby,” he says, “thank you for giving me the world.” He leans forward and kisses me.
