Page 92 of Her Always Choice

“Especially like this, baby.”

“Okay, I’ll see you all later,” Tate said hurrying towards his waiting bike.

She sighed watching him drive off and Jordan held her to his side.

“Missing your motorcycle rides with your best friend?” he asked as they reached the car.

“A bit, but I’m good, content, even if I am ready to meet this little one.”

“I am too but it won’t be too much longer now, the seventh’s just around the corner.”

“Who says it’ll be the seventh? I’m due on the sixth.”

“But we met on October seventeenth, I fell in love with you when you were seventeen. We got married on the seventeenth,and now we’re having a baby during the seventh year of our marriage.”

“We’ll see,” she said and a few weeks later, he was the one saying ‘I told you so.’

“Are you up for some visitors?” Nicole asked peeking into the room.

“We are,” she answered with a smile. She laughed when she saw just how many visitors there were, but she knew they were all anxious to hear the news. Jordan stood up and brought the baby over to her kissing her as he did.

“A white cap?” Tate said edging closer. “Really? Still keeping us in suspense?”

“Can everyone see or at least hear?” she asked with a laugh.

“We’d like you all to meet the newest Turner,” Jordan said. “Our daughter…”

He stopped at the commotion and let Mel finish once they’d quieted a bit, “Jodi Nicole Turner.”

Tate burst out laughing and Arthur added his own as the others stared in confusion. “I am so going to get you for this Mel.”

“What?” Nicole asked coming over to kiss her cheek. “You named her after me?”

“Of course, we named her after her godparents,” she said sending a look at her then towards Tate.

“Wait,J. Tatum…your name’s really…oh hell,” Grant laughed.

“Well Tate’s is with a Y whereas our little Jodi’s is with an I,” she offered.

“For once I don’t care Mel-Mel,” he told her as he kissed her cheek and then looked down at the baby. “She definitely got her looks from you though,” he said when she opened her eyes and he saw the green tinted blue of them.

“Gorgeous just like the most wonderful woman on the planet,” Jordan agreed.

Mel leaned her head against his chest knowing she’d always have a part of her Jordan and her Tate in her daughter, and nothing could be better than that.
