When Cleo meows in response, I hold back a laugh. I’m guessing to her luring me into naps throughout the day is what taking care of me looks like. At seven months pregnant, I’m prone to nodding off at the drop of a hat. Cleo snuggling with me frequently sends me into dreamland.
I lose my breath when John looks up from my belly into my eyes. The way he looks at me makes me tingle all over.
“Know what today is, babe?”
I grin and nod my head. “I do.”
“Hard to believe it’s been a year since I found you in that shitty apartment. Look at us now.”
I smile fondly at the memory of how what started out as the worst day of my life became one of the best. Someday soon, we’ll be sharing that story with our son—and I can’t wait.

Acknowledgments
First, to the woman that brought me into this, Aurora Rose Reynolds. Being chosen to do a book in Aurora’s amazing world is such a tremendous honor. I’ve been friends with her for many years now and I am forever awed by her incredible talent, her giant heart, and how real she is. If you’re ever lucky enough to meet her, you’ll know exactly what I mean. I love all of her characters but one in particular worked his way into my heart. I’ve read Until Nico many times and it never fails to put a giant smile on my face.
Crystal, thank you for being a friend, always. FBGM.
Rochelle, thank you for being there through yet another deadline. Where would I be without you?
Thanks to my mom for always encouraging me- even when I want to cry because her output is heads and tails above mine. Me: I wrote 999 words today. My mom: Honey that’s great. I wrote 4,389.
And finally a big huge shout out to the other Happily Ever Alpha authors. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work alongside such a talented and professional bunch. You ladies rock!
