“Mama! Look!”
Blair looked up from her laptop to see her two-year-old daughter, Olivia, proudly showing off a crayon drawing that was mostly colorful scribbles.
“That’s beautiful, sweetheart,” Blair said, genuinely impressed with the artwork of her toddler. “Is that our family?”
Olivia nodded madly, her dark curls bouncing. “You, Daddy, me, and da baby.”
Blair’s hand automatically went to her slightly rounded belly. At four months pregnant with their second child, she was already showing. “That’s right. Our whole family.”
“Can I put it on our ‘frigerator?” Olivia asked, already turning toward the office door.
“Of course. Ask Daddy to help you.”
Olivia ran off, drawing clutched tightly in her small fist, calling for her daddy. Blair smiled, returning to the quarterly reports she’d been reviewing.
Running Warner Industries from her home office three days a week had turned out to be the perfect balance, allowing her to be present for Olivia while still managing the company her parents had built. And then Uncle Peter had tried to steal it.
The past two and a half years had been a whirlwind and didn't show any signs of slowing down.
When Olivia had been born… a very healthy seven-pound bundle with Roman’s dark hair and Blair’s blue eyes, they had both fallen instantly in love with their little girl.
Roman had proven to be a devoted father, managing to rearrange his entire schedule to be home for dinner almost every night and taking an active role in all aspects of parenting, including changing dirty diapers.
A knock at her office doorframe pulled Blair from her thoughts. She looked up to see Roman standing there, Olivia perched on his hip.
