“Maybe,” he said “But my behavior was inexcusable”

“Thank you,” he said “I need to apologize for so hts with Cassie that you had to overhear… I thought that I was grown up and a man of the world and then I slept withat all”

I laughed “I think I have a lot of that growing up stuff left to do myself,” I told him “Maybe Michael can help us with that”

“Vicki?”

“Yeah?”

“Can I hold him?”

“Of course” I scooped the tiny little man with one hand under his bottom and kept the other under his head as I handed him to Alex Then I watched as the baby yawned and stretched and peeked open one of his little eyes… his hazel eyes He looked at his daddy and the look on Alex’s face was priceless They were bonding and I knew that , most especially love
