I pulled my eyes from the baby's sleeping face to see both Nancy and my mom staring daggers at me. "Fine. Ten minutes, then I want her back," I said while gently placing Genesis in Nancy's arms.

The ladies melted at seeing their granddaughter up close, and it was obvious that she was going to be "I feel like I've already been replaced as your number one love, and it didn't even take three full hours "You could never be replaced, but there's space for the both of you at the top."

I leaned down and gave her a deep, passionate kiss. She'd just given me the greatest gift. My daughter "You know you're not getting that baby back anytime soon, right?" "Yeah, I know. It was worth a shot, though."

I rummaged through Taylor's bag and pulled out her brush, then began running it through her hair. Sh I heard her hum in appreciation and slowly relax into the bed.
