Conviction (Consolation Duet #2)(78)

“He came from you; of course he would be,” I reply and press my lips to hers. Then I touch my son’s fingers. He’s here and has all his fingers and toes. He’s got the most important part too.

The doctor comes over and cuts the cord after I refuse. No, thank you. They weigh him and clean him up as I watch over him. I don’t think my eyes leave him for even a moment.

Once he’s wrapped in a blanket, the nurse extends her hands and places him in my arms.

I look at Natalie and then back to him. Tears fill my eyes as I hold my son for the first time. My heart just grew twice the size as I look at him, half me, half Natalie. I walk over and sit next to Lee as her hand touches his arm.

“Hi, Shane. I’m your dad.”

My attempt to keep this short and sweet should be interesting.

My readers: I can never fully explain what it means to me that you not only took a chance on me, but that some of you have stuck with me. I know I tend to keep leaving you with these crazy cliffhangers and you still love me. The support that you give me is astonishing and humbling. I love you so much!

My beta readers: I really am the luckiest person because of you. Jennifer, Melissa, Katie, Roxana, Linda, and Mandi . . . you make me laugh, keep me on my toes, and always striving to impress you. You are some picky bitches but I wouldn’t know what to do without you.

My early readers: Melissa & Alison, you guys are the first to get a full glimpse and each time I bite my nails. Thank you for dealing with my neurosis and messages. I love you to the moon!

Laurelin Paige: Without you, my world would be a dull place. Your support, friendship, and wisdom are insurmountable. You make me a better person and writer. You deal with my insecurities and constant crying but still love me and for that I’m eternally grateful. (I hope you at least pricked a damn tear at this.)

Christy Peckham: No words can explain how much your friendship means. None can come close. You make me smile daily, put up with my hilarious messages <-- admit it they’re funny, and still stick around.

Melissa Saneholtz & SFab Team: The word publicist doesn’t seem fitting for what you do. You run my life pretty much and I couldn’t imagine anyone else doing this with me. To the team . . . oh, how we laugh. I love you guys and can’t thank you enough for all the support.
