The Sweet Road Home

by Jacki Kelly

  “You’re right, but this never gets old for me. And this show is so much bigger than the one I did last year. I’m so excited.”

  “You should be. You planned our wedding, redecorated the house, and introduced a line of sportswear all in a year. Next to you I must look like a tortoise, trying to keep up.” He rubbed the small of her back.

  “Stop it. You work hard, too. Look at the community center. Within months you’ll be celebrating the grand opening.”

  “We will,” he beamed. “Everything is going well now.” She pressed up on her toes and kissed his mouth. His tongue connected with hers for a brief moment before he pulled away.

  The look on his face grew serious and his eyes darkened. “But you have to promise me you’ll slow down.” He placed his hand on her swollen stomach. “You’ve got to take care of my two favorite girls. Remember what the doctor said about the last trimester.”

  She placed her hand on top of his and squeezed. “I promise I will. When we get back home the only thing I plan to do is take care of my husband and finish the nursery. The baby’s room will be easy. All I have to do is search the Internet for the pieces I want. Taking care of you requires a bit more,” she teased.

  “Okay, I’ll try to keep my hands to myself,” he lifted his hand from her back.

  She grabbed his arm and put it back around her. Then she placed her palm against his cheek. Her heart swelled in her chest. The last year had passed in a blissful, dizzying blur. “How did I get so lucky?” she asked.

  “We. We’re both lucky.”

  She kissed him.

  We’re more than lucky. Much more.
