"Good heavens, surely you don't want to name her Hayley," she said with a chuckle. "And let's not carry on the Albright tradition of naming the children based on where they were conceived. I have no wish to name our daughter Carriage."

Stephen looked again at his finger clutched by the tiny sleeping infant, then he raised his eyes and looked at his beautiful wife. His chest expanded and his heart turned over with love.

Overcome, he squeezed his eyes shut and pressed a kiss to Hayley's brow. "I want to name her after her mother," he repeated in an emotion-filled whisper. "Angel. I want to call her Angel."
