not even sure I want to stay here. Maybe we should go back to Stoney Bridge. Peter and Jacob can handle things here.”
“You know we can’t leave now, Reggie; the clan needs you, and I think maybe we need the clan,” she said. “I’ll miss Stoney Bridge, and maybe someday we can go back, but for now, our place is here.”
He looked down at her, then pulled her into his arms. “I was hoping that you’d say that,” he said. “I’ll be happy no matter where we are as long as I’m with you, but I think for now, this is where I want to be. I love you, Janice, and I always will.”
“I love you too, Reggie,” Janice said, smiling up at him, knowing that the moment had come to share her secret. “And I think a school is the perfect use for the house. After all, it won’t be long before our child will need an education.”
Reggie grinned down at her. “We will have kids, won’t we?” he asked, clearly a bit shocked by the idea.
“Of course, we will,” Janice said. “And it might happen sooner than you think.”
It took Reggie a second to figure out what she was saying. “Are you telling me...” His question died away when she nodded her head. “Oh, I mean...I didn’t think...are you okay? Do we need to find a doctor?”
Janice laughed. “I’m fine, Reggie,” she said. “A little nauseous sometimes, but that’s it. Are you okay with this?”
“Okay with it?” he asked, grinning at her. “I love you, Janice, love you more than anything else in the world, but I will love our child just as much.”
She sighed. “I love you too, Reggie,” she said, stroking his cheek. “Who would have thought that the worst date I’ve ever been on would turn out to be with the man I can’t live without?”
“I suppose in a weird way we have Samantha to thank for this,” Reggie said, putting his hand over her stomach.
“But let’s not tell her that,” Janice said.
