you and Brix talked about the other night?”
    “Yeah, what’s up?”
    “I was just telling Jazz what we all talked about the other night with finding her birth family. Here,” she handed me the phone. “Tell her what you told us, Stone.”
    “Hey, Stone,” I said into the speaker.
    “Hey, girl. You good?”
    I smiled at his possessiveness. Stone had been Brax’s best friend since they were kids. Ever since Brax and I became a couple, Stone had turned into a big protector of mine. I still think Brax had him watching me over the years even though he swore it wasn’t true. However, I secretly loved it anyway. Stone was a great guy and totally swoon-worthy to drool over, so I didn’t mind one bit. Being around all those dark-haired guys forever, it was nice to look at a handsome blond for a change.
    “I’m great, actually, how about you?”
    “Can’t complain, babe…All right, so…Brix called, asking if I could help you find out any information regarding your birth family. He said you didn’t know anything other than your mom passed away and your father was unknown. Is that correct?”
    I nodded my head even though he couldn’t see me. I was starting to become a nervous wreck, but I wasn’t sure why. I knew better than to get my hopes up, but still, I couldn’t believe what Tanya and Stone were offering me.
    “Yes, she passed away after having me. That’s all I know regarding my mom. Apparently, my father was there for the birth but didn’t sign the birth certificate. Marla, one of my caseworkers, said once they pronounced my mom dead, my dad left the hospital and never returned. I’m unaware of anything else.”
    Stone asked a few more questions, including the correct spelling of my first, middle, and last name, my blood type, and the date and location where I was born. After writing everything down, he promised to get back to me sometime in the next few days.
    I didn’t know how I felt about everything. All my life I had wondered about my birth parents. I wanted to know what they looked like, where they lived, what they enjoyed doing. But now that it was all out in the open, I was having doubts, major doubts, about whether I wanted to stir up havoc in my life again.
    It was extremely hard on me as a child not knowing any family. While others at the group home had knowledge of who their blood family were, I had none. It was just me against the world.
    Maybe it was just my nerves getting the best of me. I had been pushed around regarding my situation as a child, so I was feeling a little conflicted. Either way I looked at it, only time would tell. I knew better than to get my hopes up, anyway. I could only pray I would stay strong, regardless of the outcome. But knowing me, this was going to be hard, no matter what kind of response Stone got.

    Peeking through the door, I tiptoed across the room, stopping at the front of Savanah’s crib. Leaning down, I pushed her hair to the side of her forehead and gave my little girl a kiss.
    “Sweet dreams, Angel.”
    Pulling her blanket up, I closed the door, leaving it cracked behind me.
    The lights were out in our bedroom, but the TV was still on. Jazz was laying on top of the covers sound asleep. I grabbed a pair of sweats and some boxers and made my way into the bathroom. Turning on the water, I stripped out of my clothes, climbing inside the porcelain tub, allowing the beads of hot water to soak my skin. As I lathered up the soap and washed myself clean, I ran through everything that needed to be done this upcoming weekend.
    I had promised Jazz I would take her to the movies to see The Fault in Our Stars . It wasn’t something I felt like doing, but I would suck it up and go anyway. Jazz had me wrapped around her little finger. I wasn’t afraid to admit it.
    A happy wife equaled a happy life, and I’d be damned if my girl didn’t run the show. She never asked for much. Jazz wasn’t the
