“Then it is only fitting that he has your da’s name,” Snow said.
Tarass once again found himself speechless, though not for long. “My da would burst with pride that a grandson carried his name.”
“The first of many grandsons and granddaughters who will carry on the MacFiere name,” Snow said with pride the thought brought her.
Tarass leaned down and kissed his wife’s brow. “I’m relieved you delivered our son fast. I don’t think I would have survived hours on end of you in pain.”
Snow laughed. “Either would I.”
Thaw got up on the bed, licked Snow’s face, sniffed Winton, then went to the bottom of the bed and curled up as if the ordeal had exhausted him.
“I’m with you, Thaw,” Tarass said and slipped off his boots before he got into bed beside Snow and slipped his arm around her, then reached down to gently touch his son’s tiny fingers. He felt a tender warmth run through him, felt his heart fill with joy, and was reminded of what it was like when his mum and da had been alive. This was family. This was love, and he silently thanked the heavens for sending Snow to him.
He kissed the top of her head. “I love you, Snow, and that will never change.”
“It better not, husband,” she teased.
“I’m yours always,” he assured her.
She looked up at him and frowned.
“What’s wrong?” he asked anxiously, worried she wasn’t feeling well.
“I don’t know if that’s long enough,” she said, a soft smile spreading over her face.
“Can’t do without me, can you, wife?” he teased, kissing her gently.
Her smile faded slowly and she shook her head just as slowly. “No, I can’t do without you and I don’t want to do without you.”
“And I cannot do without you,” he said and hooked her chin with his finger. “So, I guess that means we’re stuck with each other for eternity.”
A smile lit Snow’s whole face. “That sounds about right to me, husband.”
Tarass grinned and brought his lips to hers, sealing their words with a kiss.
