“The baby?” Zane ground out, his face still blank.
The doctor smiled. “You have a healthy baby boy, congratulations.”
Lexie heard a cheer from behind her, and she was pretty sure most of it came from her boys. Everything in her relaxed and she finally let herself breathe properly. She turned to Zane. He was smiling. Like full on grinning, ear to ear.
“Want to meet your son?” the doctor asked him.
Zane squeezed Lexie’s shoulder. “Yeah, my daughter’s coming too,” he said softly.
And with that Lexie’s already huge, dysfunctional and loving family got a whole lot bigger. And what she had told her mom the day she found out she was pregnant was further cemented. Zane was the best dad in the world.
