Chapter 14 - Another Baby

Three months after returning home, Clara walked into my study carrying a pregnancy test.
I stared at it.
Then at her.
“Seriously?”
She nodded.
I hugged her so quickly she laughed.
This pregnancy was easier.
And when we told the family, Vanessa cried harder than anyone.
Sophie demanded a sister.
She got a brother.
We named him Daniel.
Dad held him carefully.
“I missed too much with Sophie.”
I watched him.
“Then don't miss this.”
May you like
He didn't.
