She smiled. “We’re having a baby, Charlie.”
Charles couldn’t believe it. He smiled. Then his heart began to soar. “But I thought you couldn’t . . . I thought you weren’t able---”
“I did too,” she said. “I tried for years and years with Quince. But it’s been confirmed. I am pregnant with our child. My first child.”
Charles hurried to her and wrapped her in his arms. He was so happy that he nearly squeezed the life out of her. When he stopped embracing her, he looked at her again. “Oh, Jenay,” he said. “I don’t know if my heart can take such wonderful news!”
She laughed and placed her hand on the side of his handsome face. “And they claim you don’t have a heart!”
He laughed too. And wrapped her in his arms again. He never dreamed, at this late date, that life could be more meaningful now than it had ever been in the entirety of his years on this earth. All because of this woman, this marvelous woman, he held in his arms.
And he continued to hold her.
He was not going to let her go.
