I pick up our boy and hold him to my chest. “We need to name this little guy,” I tell Gwen. We’ve thrown around some ideas, but nothing is set in stone yet.
“I like Goose or Iceman,” she says with a laugh.
“Haha, baby. Do we want to continue the family name theme? I kind of like the name Isaac.” She smiles at me. I know she had that on her list of possible names.
“What about Isaac Maverick Graves? That way he’s not a junior, but he’ll have his daddy’s name.”
I look down at my boy. “What do you think, Isaac?” He gives a big yawn and then begins sucking on his fist. “He likes it.”
Our nurse comes in and I ask her to take a picture of the four of us. My wife scoots over in bed with our daughter on her lap, and I sit next to her with our son in my arms.
The nurse takes a couple of photos and hands me back my phone. “You guys are a beautiful family.”
We thank her before she takes her leave. I pull up the picture and show my wife. Fuck, we are beautiful, and to think I almost gave this all up because of fear.
I never thought this is where life would take me. Gwen always says that I rescued her that day in the van, but honestly, I think it was the other way around—she rescued me from a life I wasn’t meant to lead. She is my soul mate, the other half of me, and I will be forever thankful for the beautiful life she’s already given me.
Oh… and by the way, I never did go skydiving.

About the Author
A Midwesterner and a readaholic most of her life until one day an idea came into Evan’s head and a writing career was born. She's a sucker for happily ever afters and loves creating fictional worlds that others can get lost in. She loves putting her characters through the ringer, but loves when they get to that satisfying, swoony ending.
When the voices in her head give it a rest, which isn’t often, she can always be found with her e-reader in her hand. Some of her favorites include, Aurora Rose Reynolds, (the queen) Kristen Ashley, Kaylee Ryan, Natasha Madison, and Harper Sloan. Evan finds a lot of her inspiration in music, movies, TV shows and life.
She's a wife to Jim and a mom to Ethan and (the real)Evan, a weightlifter, a home healthcare scheduler, and a full-time author. How does she do it? She'll never tell.
