Zoe giggled. ‘Our destiny?’
‘Well, it could be the champagne but I’m feeling pretty happy about what life has thrown our way.’
‘Me, too. And I didn’t have any champagne.’
Nate wrapped his arms around her and they looked out at the water where the surface sparkled like diamonds as the moonlight caressed the surface.
‘When shall we tell them?’ Zoe asked.
‘When we’re ready.’
‘Well, we know everything’s okay after the tests, so how about now?’
Nate released her, then cradled her face in his hands.
‘Are you sure? There’s no going back once they know.’
‘No going back now, Nate. Only forwards.’
He kissed her gently and she melted against him, her love for him tingling in every part of her body and wrapping itself around the two tiny babies that lay nestled inside her womb.
Nothing was certain in life and their contraceptive method hadn’t been, either. But Zoe didn’t mind and neither did Nate. In fact, once they’d got over the initial shock at the hospital in San Francisco where Zoe had been examined, suspecting she’d contracted a virus or something equally nasty, they’d been unable to conceal their delight. This was meant to be, Nate had told Zoe, and she’d agreed.
‘Before we tell them, Zoe, I wanted to let you know what I’ve been thinking. Even if we don’t go abroad for a few years, we can still use the campervan to travel around the country. It was, after all, something I aimed to do with my dad, so I’d love to do that with you and our twins.’
‘There’s certainly plenty of room for car seats and changing bags.’
‘And possibly even a rescue greyhound.’
‘Why not two? I hear they’re great with children.’
‘Sounds perfect.’
‘Let’s go and share our happy news.’
‘Come on then, but I’m warning you, Mum will be way too excited.’
‘I’m banking on it!’
She held Nate’s hand and they walked towards the people they cared about, the people who’d been there for them over the years, and those who would be there for them in the future. Conwenna Cove was a community, a sanctuary, a home.
And Zoe was a part of it.
In fact, she knew for certain now that her heart would belong for ever with Nate and their family, and for ever at Conwenna Cove.
