Maggie and Kane were getting married. She had a hard time focusing on the reality of her situation. Joy and fear kept tumbling after one another in her heart.

She was marrying the boss. What a cliché. She was having the boss’s baby. In another age, that would have been an insurmountable scandal. Now it was mostly harmless fodder for the gossip mill. But what would they all say once they knew? It made her blush to think.

The first people who had to know were Kane’s brother and sister-in-law, and they planned to have dinner with them almost right away. Maggie was nervous about it. What were these people who loved Kane going to think about him marrying his administrative assistant whom he had never given a second thought to before? What were they going to say about this crazy arrangement?

Kane drove them to Mark and Jill’s house and Maggie looked out the window as they cruised through a neighborhood very much like the one she’d grown up in. The houses were neat and two-story with wide front yards currently covered with snow. She had a sudden memory of the smell of apple pie baking, the sound of the radio playing her mother’s favorite classical music and the boys next door wearing their lettermen’s jackets and yelling good-naturedly to each other as they came home from a hockey game. That was life in the neighborhoods. For some reason, tears came to her eyes as she thought of it. She’d lived in apartments too long.

Mark’s house was one of the nicest on his block, with a huge yard and trees in small clumps making it look as though the home were in the middle of a forest glen. As they went into the house, she could feel the warmth of the family that lived there even before she saw one of them.

Two little redheads came barreling down the stairs, leaping in the air with cries of triumph to land on their uncle. Kane caught them both and threw them down on the couch, tickling and wrestling and generally making them shriek with delight. Then he brought them both upright and introduced them to Maggie.

“Kenny and Jennifer,” he told her. “Say hello to your new aunt, kids.”

“Hi,” Jennifer said stoutly. A pretty little girl of about six, she was bright-eyed and friendly.

Kenny was younger and shyer, looking down at his pajama-covered feet and grunting his greeting.

“He’ll talk to you later,” Jennifer told her confidentially. “He has to get to know you first.”

“I’ll be looking forward to it,” Maggie said with a smile.

There were various greetings as Jill and Mark entered the room, and then Jill was herding the children up to bed and Mark was showing Maggie his rare book collection. All things considered, they were making her feel very much at home.

Jill had made a mouthwatering cioppino and warmed sourdough rolls to go with it. She served the wonderful seafood stew in wide-lipped soup bowls and gave a running commentary about her Italian background as she spooned it out.
