She looked into his eyes gently. “You told me you didn’t like children–that if someone ever had your child, you’d get rid of it. I wanted to keep the baby. When I found out I was pregnant, I was terrified you’d for me to end it. That’s why I acted first and faked the abortion record, so you’d think it was already

“Lily”

That offhand remark–James had never thought twice about it.

Only now did he realize it had been her way of testing him, a moment born from

of security.

Thinking about how she’d been living in constant fear that he might harm their cha, ne was overwhelmed with regret. Pulling her carefully into his arms, he said hoarsely, I would never get rid of our child. I always believed you couldn’t have children. I could never touch another woman, so there was no chance of me having a baby. That’s why when you asked if I liked children, I said no. And when you said if someone had my child… I thought you were speaking–hypothetically–about another woman outside. I could never get involved with someone else, and even if I did, I’d never accept a child born from manipulation or deceit. Lily, when I found out you were pregnant, I was happy. I even thought- shamefully–that I could use the baby to keep you with me.”

So he had never wanted to take their child away.

All the heartache, all the misunderstanding–they had been too careful with each other, too unwilling to talk openly. And it had nearly torn them apart.

But now, with morning light spilling in and the one they loved beside them, they could walk a long road together.

Lily nuzzled against his chest, soaking in the warmth of his embrace. Sweetness and contentment swelled in her heart, lifting the corners of her lips no matter how she tried to hide it.

“Lily, from now on, I’ll take care of you… and our baby. The three of us will never be apart.”

She almost wanted to tell him–it could be four of them.

But since she hadn’t had a checkup yet to confirm twins or more, she let the thought rest, savoring the moment while his arms tightened around her.

“Lily. I’m going to be a dad!”

She was still lost in the comfort of his warmth when she heard the unmistakably foolish joy in his voice.

It was so silly, she didn’t even know how to answer.

Before she could speak, his big, trembling hands–shaking with excitement–landed gently on her still–flat belly.

“I’m really going to be a dad!”

This man, usually so sparing with his words, had suddenly turned into a broken record.

Who else would be the father if not him?

She found herself half exasperated by this sudden foolishness, yet her heart still raced at the clear, shining joy in his eyes.

She was about to calm her unruly heartbeat when she felt a slight weight on her belly.

Looking down, she saw that he had pressed his face to it.

And then she heard him say, “Baby, I’m… your daddy”

Lily’s lashes quivered, her heart pounding even faster.

So this was what it felt like–welcoming a child with someone you truly loved. It wi was almost overwhelming.

And maybe foolishness was contagious. Even though she’d just been scoffing at him, she reached down to touch her own belly, greeting the tiny life inside just like he had,

“Baby, I’m… your mommy. Your daddy and I both love you very much.”

“Lily, our baby just said hello to me!”

Lily brushed her fingers over his cheek, still caught in the peaceful sweetness of the moment–only to hear him say something even sillier.

She didn’t know whether to laugh or sigh

This man, normally so sharp and self–contained, was now not only silly but utterly lacking in common

The baby inside her wasn’t even formed yet–how could it possibly say hello to him?

The truth was…

Her face warmed, but she told him honestly, “James, I’m only a little over a month pregnant. Our baby can’t say hello to you yet.”

“Just now… that was my stomach growling.”

“I’ll go make breakfast!”

When he realized it had been her stomach, James immediately released her and jumped out of bed.

“No need. I’ll go cook some porridge. You had a terrible fever last night–you need to rest. You-

“I’m fine now,”

With his strong constitution and the rush of joy from getting her back, James looked completely refreshed, the weakness from last night gone without a trace.

“Pregnant women shouldn’t be cooking. From now on, I’ll take care of you and our baby.”

Lily was still a little concerned for his health, but after he quickly washed up and headed out of the

bedroom, she didn’t stop him.

She smiled foolishly at the door for a few seconds, then started to get up to wash and head downstairs. But before she could, he suddenly came back in, pulled her into a fierce embrace, and said-

“Lily, I regret divorcing you. Can we get married again?”
