“I have a surprise of my own. I was going to tell you at dinner but my husband had his own plans.’ she winked at him with distinct approval.
“We’re going to have a new addition to our family!”
Excited congratulations erupted the reverent silence. Everyone crowded around the couple offering their heartiest hopes for the future. Sean looked stunned. He was just getting used to being the father of twins. The idea of having a baby he could see born and help raise from a newborn left him speechless. The twins were so tiny to him he couldn’t even comprehend a child the size George had been when Kerrie had him. The idea simultaneously thrilled and terrified him. His wife eyed him mischievously knowing exactly what he was thinking. She held out her hand supportively.
“We’ll handle it together. One day at a time. We’ve managed to survive the twins.”
He relaxed visibly. Taking a shaky breath he hugged her close. It would be all right. He would never let her go. Like she said they could survive anything together. They already had. They would have their clan like the Winslow’s had. That’s what it was all about. Being with the ones that really mattered the most.
“I love you Xzan.” he whispered trembling with the feeling.
She melted against him, trusting him with all her heart.
“I love you more!”
