“I’m fine,” Mariah wept. “Tired, but I don’t care. Look at him.”
“Mother and baby came through beautifully, my lord,” the midwife said as she stood. She briefly took the baby to wrap him in a towel, tucking his tied cord inside the bundle. “Easy as pie. They’ll both be on their feet in no time.”
“Thank you,” Peter told her from the bottom of his heart, then turned his full attention to Mariah. “And thank you.”
“Me?” She laughed, dragging her eyes away from the baby to gaze up at him with so much love that Peter felt warm all over.
“For agreeing to marry a broken old man,” he said. “For giving me hope.”
“You’ve given me so much more than I could ever repay,” she said, tilting her head up to kiss him.
He kissed her in return, holding her and the baby in an embrace that he never wanted to end. She’d given him so much more than he could ever have hoped for—an heir, a family, a future. But more than anything, she’d opened his heart and filled his world with love.
