“Max has more clothes and shoes than I have.” I laughed.
“Not for long, sweetheart.” He winked.
We stepped out of the room and into the hallway, where Maggie showed us the additional two guestrooms, each having their own bathroom.
“Well, what do you think?” Maggie asked.
“I love it. I’m speechless at how amazing this place is.” I looked over at Max and placed my arm around his waist. “I can totally see us living here and making it our home.”
“So you love it?” he asked.
“Yes. It goes beyond love.”
He let out a sigh of relief. “Thank God because I already bought it.”
“What? When?” I laughed.
“Yesterday. I knew you’d love it, and I was afraid it would sell before you had the chance to see it.”
“I do love it, Max. Thank you.” I reached up and gave him a kiss on his lips.
“You’re welcome. I think the three of us will be very happy here.”
“Congratulations to both of you. You’ve made the right decision.” Maggie smiled as she walked away.
“Yeah, of course, we did because now she gets a huge commission,” Max whispered in my ear.
“We’ll need to go furniture shopping,” I said. “Unless you just want to bring your furniture from your apartment.”
“Nah. If we’re starting new, then everything is going to be new, and I want us to pick out furniture we both like together. Especially our bedroom set.” He winked. “The only furniture coming here will be Sarah’s from her nursery, and I’ve already hired the decorators to duplicate the room.”
“Have I told you how much I love you?” I asked with a smile.
“Not today, you haven’t.”
We stopped in front of the doorway, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I love you to the moon and back, Mr. Hamilton.”
“I love you more, Miss Knight. Now let’s go see our baby girl.”
After scrubbingup and stepping inside the NICU, Max and I walked over to Sarah. She was awake.
“There’s my baby girl.” I smiled as I picked up her tiny body and cradled her in my arms. “She looks so good, Max.”
“Yes, she does.” He bent down and kissed her head.
“Good news.” Laney, the nurse, walked over and said with a huge smile. “You will get to take Sarah home in one week.”
“Really?” Excitement overtook me. There was finally light at the end of the tunnel for us.
“Yep. She’s doing better every day and getting stronger. She’s drinking full bottles now, and she’s holding her own. Dr. Cooper will talk to you later when he gets here.”
“Oh my God, Max. We’ll finally get to bring her home. I’m so excited.”
“Me too, baby. That means we have exactly one week to move and get everything in order.”
“It’s not possible,” I said as I looked at him.
“Sure it is. We can do it. If you’ll excuse me, I have several phone calls to make.”
