James (Resisting Love #3)(51)

“It was good. I missed all of you, though,” he says sincerely. I take his face into my palms and bring it close to mine, so our foreheads are almost touching.

“I love you,” I whisper.

“I love you too, wife,” he says with a grin.

“Are you ready to meet your daughter?” I ask him, cringing when another wave of pain hits me.

“Of course I am, I can’t wait to-you mean now?” he asks, standing up quickly, a look of concern taking over his features.

I nod. “Can you call the hospital to tell them we're coming in?” I ask as he helps me up from the bed. I grab my already packed bag, getting ready to leave. I feel calm right now. I know the contractions aren’t coming too close together so I have time. Plus stressing out won’t help anyone. It also looks like James is going to be worrying enough for the both of us.

James

With a mop of dark hair and wide dark brown eyes, Indiana is a spitting image of her mother.

I couldn’t be more thrilled.

She has the cutest button nose, rosy pouted lips, and chubby little cheeks. I couldn’t believe how tiny she was. Seeing Sasha go through childbirth, I’m not gonna lie, it was hell. I hated seeing her in pain, and there was nothing I could do about it. I made sure I was by her side the entire time, holding her hand, getting her anything she wanted.

Doing anything I could.

I was the first to hold my daughter.

I was the first person she saw as she came into this world.

It was one of the best days of my life.

Indiana is now three months old, and dressed in a pink princess-looking dress. Jye is dressed in a suit, and Sasha is wearing a yellow gown that accentuates her every curve. I definitely have plans for her tonight.

“You ready?” Sasha asks me, picking up her tiny gold handbag that I’m pretty sure can’t fit anything inside it.

After all this time, she still takes my breath away.

And I know she always will.

“Let’s go, my pretty wife,” I tell her, pulling her in for a kiss that might be slightly inappropriate in front of the kids.

“Dad!” Jye yells, making a face. Sasha laughs, and the sound is like music to my ears. I pick up the capsule with Indiana in it and head outside.

We have a wedding to attend to.
