"I want it. It makes me happy." "God," she said in a breath. "I was afraid." "Of?" "Of you saying, 'Holy shit-I'm forty! What do I want with a baby?'" He laughed at her. "I didn't say that, did I? Nah, I'm ready. A family sounds good." "Jack," she said, "I'm still afraid." "Of?" "Of believing in us. My last stab at something like this ended so, so badly. I thought I'd never get over it. I'm not sure I am yet." "Well, you're just going to have to take a leap of faith," he said. "I think I can do that," she said. "If you're there to catch me." "I'm here," he said. "I haven't let you down yet, have I?" She put her hand against his face. "No, Jack. You sure haven't." *
