Page 81 of The Billionaire's Most Unexpected Triplets

Leah looks up at me, and her smile is so radiant that it takes my breath away. I can’t believe how much I’ve missed her.

Without a doubt, I’m exactly where I need to be.

I know I have a lot of apologizing to do, a lot to fix, but I’ll work on that for the rest of my life if I need to. I’ve finally found something worth holding on to, something worth fighting for — my family.

CHAPTER29

LEAH

Ismile for Taylor as she takes a picture of me and the babies. All three of them.

I can’t believe it. I just gave birth to triplets! And Jack is here in the room, standing right next to me.

I don’t know what to focus on first: his sudden appearance, the three angels in my arms, or the high I have, feeling like I’m a superhero.

I take a deep breath and look at Jack. He looks like he’s about to burst with emotion, and I can’t help but feel grateful that he’s here. The dream that I was too afraid to voice has come true.

But what now?

Taylor must sense the tension in the room because she clears her throat. “I’m gonna grab a cup of coffee. Anyone want anything?”

“No thanks,” I tell her.

Jack shakes his head, his gaze still on my face.

She slips out of the room, the door shutting behind her, and it’s just the two of us — well, and the three sleeping babies.

“Leah.” He takes my hand in his.

“Yes?”

“I’m sorry,” he says, his voice breaking. “I’m sorry for everything. For leaving you, for not being there for you, for not believing in us. For turning my back on our kids. I was such a fool.”

I feel the tears prickling at the corners of my eyes. I never thought I would hear those words from him, but here he is, pouring his heart out to me.

I swallow against a lump in my throat. “When I went into labor… I wanted to call you. The only person I wanted to be with was you.”

He’s quiet for a long moment as he stares at one of the infants. “But you didn’t… because you felt like you couldn’t. And that’s my fault.”

I press my lips together, not sure what to say. Yes, it was his doing. But it seems that he’s had a change of heart, and I have no interest in rubbing salt in the wound.

He leans in and places a gentle kiss on my forehead. “I want to make it up to you. I want to be there for you and the kids. I want to be a family, Leah.”

I close my eyes, relishing the feel of his lips against my skin. It’s been so long since we’ve been this close, and it feels like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders.

“I want that too,” I whisper, my hand tightening in his. “But we have a lot of work to do. It’s not going to be easy.”

“I know,” he says, his thumb tracing circles on the back of my hand. “But I’m willing to do whatever it takes.”

I open my eyes and look at him, really look at him for the first time in months. There’s a determination in his eyes that I’ve never seen before, and I can’t help but feel hopeful about our future together.

“I love you,” Jack says.

My eyes fill with tears. “I love you too. But is that enough?”

Jack kisses my forehead. “I’ll do everything in my power to make things right.”

“Okay,” I say, nodding. “We’ll take it one day at a time.”
