The kiss was short, since they were standing in front of a few hundred people, but sweet and full of love. When they pulled away, Emelia leaned forward, her lips only inches from Tariq’s ear.
“We’re going to have another baby,” she whispered.
Tariq pulled back, eyes wide with excitement as they dropped to her stomach. “We are?”
Emelia smiled, resting a hand on her still-flat stomach. “We are.”
Tariq reached for Emelia, gathering her into his arms and kissing her softly, sweetly, and just a little longer than was appropriate in front of so many people.
“Emelia, I couldn’t love you more if I tried,” Tariq said, his voice low and deep.
Emelia smiled, feeling light and free and perfectly at home. “I love you, too.”
The End
