  Which is why I’m now dangling off the edge of her new, larger building. Located in the heart of town, she wanted a sign that properly told the world that Ashley Fitzgibbons-Taylor is here to stay.

  Done grumbling, I raise the sign a sliver. “How’s that?”

  Pursing her lips, Ash nods at last. “It’s perfect.”

  “Just like the boss lady.”

  She grins and leans down to pick up our daughter.

  Dusting off my hands, I climb down the ladder and slide an arm over Ash’s shoulder, placing my other hand around Jo. My heart swells in pride.

  “That’s not a bad shingle, baby.”

  “Not bad at all.” Lifting her chin, she presses her lips to mine for a light kiss. “Let’s go out for dinner tonight. We have a lot to celebrate.”

  “We sure do. Your new office.”

  “Your booming business.”

  “Our beautiful daughter.”

  “And another baby by winter.”

  I open my mouth to add to the list but pause. “Did you say . . . another baby?”

  She nods, a dazzling smile spreading across her face. “I didn’t think it was possible. But the doctor confirmed it this morning.”

  My heart is bursting, like rays of sunshine are exploding from it. I can’t find the words to tell her just how happy I am. So I pull both of my girls close.

  Ash and I have worked hard to build our careers. But no landmark court victory or write-up in a magazine can top what we’re making here with our family. We’re building a life together— that is really living the dream.
