“That was a good one.”His lips twitched, once, twice, and then he laughed, his heart full, his mood light.Katie was right; whatever came at them, they’d face it together, one step at a time.Like the phone call to Katie’s sister the other night.Ian had been on the line when Katie called to tell her the news.Norah could not contain her excitementorher commentary.Ian Finnegan?You’re the hot guy with the sexy voice who came to Magdalena that summer!Wow.Just wow.And then, a shriek that hurt his ears.Way to go, Katie!

At some point, he’d call his parents, and Katie would be right beside him…facing life together…one step at a time.

Thirty-five minutes later, they pulled up to Harry’s Folly as a gentle snow fell.“Wow, Harry must have invited half the town to this tasting.”

Ian glanced around the parking lot, recognized a few of the cars.“No kidding.”He made his way to the passenger side, opened the door.“If you get too tired and want to leave early, just let me know.”He placed a hand on her belly.“Okay?”

“Okay.”

“I love you,” he murmured, pulling her against him.

Soft sigh.“I love you, too.”

When they reached the door of the restaurant, Ian opened it, curious to see what Harry had planned for the taste testing event.Katie moved through first, gasped.He walked in behind her, took in the crazy amount of twinkle lights framing a sign that read:“Congratulations, Ian and Katie.”Before he could process the reason for the sign, lights flashed on, and a room filled with smiling faces shouted, “Surprise!”

And that’s when he realized every moment with Katie was aperfect moment.
