Caprice felt that she was really coming into her own. And with Maxie at her side, the sky was the limit. Caprice smiled, thinking how far she’d come. The TV show she was doing was great, a wonderful opportunity, and she loved every second of it. The show had opened up a lot of doors for her.
But she wanted more. What Caprice really wanted was to be on the Big Screen…….
Caprice’s hair and makeup was finished, and she strode onto the set. The photographer called out, “Okay, Caprice! Give me sexy eyes! Yes, that’s it, work it!” The photographer clicked away and the lights flashed as Caprice posed for the camera.
Katherine put Ava to bed for the night, gently placing her in her crib. Katherine softly hummed Ava’s favorite lullaby, ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider,’ and within seconds Ava is fast asleep. Katherine quietly steps out of Ava’s room, leaving the door cracked open a little.
Katherine goes to her and Alex’s bedroom, sits down on the bed. She looks down at her wedding ring, the diamond sparkling brightly. She smiles as she stares at her ring – it never gets old looking at it.
Alex was outside at the moment, bringing in some logs to throw onto the fireplace. It was the beginning of fall, the night air turning cool and crisp. Katherine’s favorite season. As she thought about the changing seasons, she reflected on all of the changes she had been through the last year and a half. Katherine Harris. Katherine McCall. Wife. Mother. And now…….
Katherine walks down the stairs, her heart beating a little faster. Alex stands by the fireplace, sipping a whisky, while he stokes the flames.
He looks up when he sees Katherine, and smiles. She always looks beautiful in his eyes, but today she looks even more beautiful than usual. She seems to have a glow radiating from within.
Katherine curls up on the couch, wrapping herself in a warm blanket. Alex walks over, placing his whisky on the coffee table, lovingly running his hand over her hair.
“Would you like me to get you a glass of wine?” Alex asks.
“No thanks, darling. Sit down,” Katherine says, patting the couch. Alex sits down, stretching out next to Katherine.
“You’ve made me the happiest woman,” Katherine says.
Alex smiles, and says, “And you’ve made me the happiest man, ever.”
“I think there’s something that could make you even happier,” Katherine says, grinning.
“Oh, really? I don’t know, I’m pretty happy,” Alex says, laughing.
Katherine’s smile softens, and she looks at Alex with an expression of total and complete love. “Alex, I’m pregnant……again.”
Alex sits straight up, his eyes widening in surprise. “Are you sure?” he asks, smiling broadly.
Katherine nods, “I’m sure. The doctor confirmed it this morning.”
Alex swoops Katherine into his arms, kissing her deeply. Katherine was right – she has made him even happier than he ever thought possible.
