RAEANNE THAYNE<br />

247<br />

made her feel as breathless and overwhelmed as if she<br />

were sitt<strong>in</strong>g atop those majestic mounta<strong>in</strong>s look<strong>in</strong>g<br />

down at <strong>the</strong> world.<br />

As she sat surrounded by everyone she loved and<br />

watched Jake twirl his niece, she was burst<strong>in</strong>g with so<br />

much joy she didn’t know how her heart could possibly<br />

conta<strong>in</strong> it all.<br />

She couldn’t believe a few short months ago she<br />

actually had been foolish enough to believe her life was<br />

over. When she limped home to P<strong>in</strong>e Gulch four months<br />

earlier, she had been certa<strong>in</strong> everyth<strong>in</strong>g good and right<br />

was gone from her world forever.<br />

Instead of wi<strong>the</strong>r<strong>in</strong>g away as she had fully expected<br />

to do, she had blossomed here. What a miraculous gift<br />

issues. But she had her own very sexy private physician<br />

on standby at all times. With Jake’s help, she<br />

knew she could face whatever hurdles still waited on<br />

She held up <strong>the</strong> sleep<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>fant. “Babysitt<strong>in</strong>g duties.”<br />

He made a face. “The little rugrat looks asleep to me.<br />

Why don’t you put him <strong>in</strong> his car seat th<strong>in</strong>gy and <strong>com</strong>e<br />

dance with me?”<br />

She shook her head with regret. “Can’t. I’m on<br />

doctor’s orders to sit out <strong>the</strong> fast stuff.”
