I could see it was difficult for her to add my step-sister’s name.
“If they have changed, it will mean a bigger family for our babies. If they haven’t nothing will be different but we owe it them to try, don’t we, Jule?”
I rose from behind my desk and sauntered toward hers. The afternoon light had entirely faded away and only two table lamps illuminated the office we shared. I perched my rear on the edge of her desk and cupped my hands over her cheeks.
“I was right about you from the first second,” I told her. “You have a specialness which is intangible.”
“I think you give me too much credit. I may change my mind the minute Eloise gives me a dirty look.”
“And that will be your prerogative,” I promised her. “You say the word and we’ll be out of there.”
She grinned.
“I think I can bear it for an afternoon.”
My eyes must have darkened as something occurred to me because Kennedy immediately commented.
“What?” my wife demanded. “What are you thinking?”
“Eloise said Madeline wants to bequeath the house to the twins.”
“The house you grew up in?”
I nodded.
“Maddy got it when my dad died. Honestly, I was always a little jealous of that. I love that house.”
“Well that would be something.”
I nodded, chewing on the insides of my cheeks. The mansion in Miami Beach would be an incredible place for the twins to grow up. I had many fond memories of my childhood there after all.
“Things come full circle, huh?” Kennedy asked softly, reading my mind again.
“Round and round we go,” I agreed, chuckling. I leaned forward to touch her lips to mine.
“We want kisses too!” a chorus of shrieks insisted and seconds later, we were attacked by two sets of arms and legs.
Laughing, the four of us collapsed to the floor and my heart swelled.
This was what a family was supposed to feel like.
