I shook my head, but she wasn’t finished.
“I arranged for a test on blood leftover from tests you submitted to when you first agreed to this process. The tests are undeniable.”
“They’re mine?”
“They’re yours.” She smiled softly at the wonder on my face. “Congratulations. They’re perfect.”
She turned and began to walk down the hall.
“Mrs. Davis?”
She paused then turned to look at me.
“My mom is gone,” I said softly, “and Nicolas’ mom is gone, too. Those babies could really use a grandmother.”
She stared at me like she couldn’t quite believe what I was saying. And then she smiled, the first smile I’d seen that actually touched her eyes.
“I’d be honored.”

Nicolas and I spoke our vows fifteen minutes later, Vivienne asleep in my arms and Cole nestled restlessly in Kelly’s. They woke and wanted to be a part of the ceremony, and we couldn’t say no.
Nicolas brushed a piece of hair out of my face as he bent to kiss me.
“I love you,” he whispered, “Mrs. Costa.”
Tears filled my eyes as I stared at him. All the choices I’d made these past few months flowing through my mind. If mi mami hadn’t gotten sick, if I hadn’t volunteered to be Aurora’s surrogate, if I hadn’t opened that door on that hot Texas summer night….
Thank God for random choice.
