In the depths of the night, the rain came.

Harry lay awake on the floor of the tree house, listening, holding a sleeping Amy close by his side. He supposed he should wake her and insist that they go back to the shelter and safety of their house on the other island, but he didn’t have the heart to awaken his wife. She was tired and she’d given him everything and she looked like an angel, lying there.

Idly, he caressed her. Soon, her beautiful body would ripen, her breasts would grow heavy with milk to nourish his child. He smiled, even though his vision was suspiciously blurred. He wondered if Amy would be as crabby this time around as she’d been while she was carrying Sara.

He decided he didn’t care.

She moved against him, inadvertently setting him on fire again. Some men were put off by pregnancy, he knew, but knowing Amy was going to bear a child—his child—made him yearn for her in a way that went beyond the physical into a realm he didn’t begin to understand.

“Harry?”

He kissed her temple. “Shhh, it’s all right. Sleep.”

She played with his nipples and the hair on his stomach. “Harry?” Her tone was serious.

“Mmm?”

“Are you happy about the new baby? Really happy?”

“Ecstatic,” he answered.

“Oliver says if he doesn’t get a brother pretty soon, he’s joining the Foreign ‘Region.’”

Harry laughed. Oliver was a miniature version of Ty, and Harry loved the boy as much as if he’d been his own, by blood. “Promises, promises,” he said.

“You’ve been so good to them, Harry—Ashley and Oliver, I mean. Anyone would think they were as much yours as Sara is.”

“They are as much mine. In a funny sort of way, I think Tyler gave them to me. He knew I could be trusted to love his children as deeply as he did.”

She sniffled against his shoulder. “I really saw him,” Amy said half to herself after a long moment had passed.

“So did I,” admitted Harry, who had long since come to terms with the fact that Tyler had really been in his office that night, when Harry’s and Amy’s marriage had been in crisis.

“Do you think Ty’s happy, wherever he is?”

Harry thought the question through, even though he’d done as much many, many times before.

“Yes, rose petal,” he said sincerely. “He’s happy.”

Amy raised her head far enough to plant a row of tantalizing kisses along Harry’s jawline. “I think I just felt a raindrop land on my backside,” she said.

Harry chuckled and gave said backside an affectionate squeeze. “I love a sophisticated woman,” he replied.

Amy nudged him with one elbow, pretending to be angry. “Oh, yeah?” she joked. “What’s her name?”
