“Yeah, it’s a house meant for a big family.”
“We could fit four kids easily. Or more.”
He almost missed it. She’d said “we” for the second time. “More? You want more kids? After you have the twins?”
“That depends.”
“On what?”
“On whether you want more children.”
He simply stared at her.
“Well?” she asked. “Do you?”
“Is this a trick question?”
Laurel laughed. “No, it’s for real.”
He thought about it. He was an only child and while his parents were great, he’d always wondered what it would be like to have a brother or sister. “Then yes. I’d like more kids.”
“So you can have more kids of your own.”
“So we could have more kids, period. Cody and Katrina might not be my blood, but I love them like they are.”
Her gaze softened. “I know you do. They love you too.”
“Laurel? Why are we talking about having more children after the twins?”
They’d been standing close to each other but now she turned to him, slipped her arms around his neck and looked up at him with a smile. “I think it’s important to be on the same page about children when you’re planning to be married.”
The tightness in his chest eased. “Are we getting married?”
“That depends on your answer to my question. I love you, Zack. Will you marry me?”
“Are you sure?”
“More sure than I’ve ever been of anything. What about you?”
“Yes.” He picked her up and kissed her. “Yes.” He twirled them around and kissed her again. “Absolutely yes.”
He kissed her once more, long and deep, then set her down and grabbed her hand. “Come on.”
“Where are we going?” she asked, laughing as he pulled her along with him.
“To celebrate. And after that to tell Cody and Katrina we’re going to be a family.”
