Kade frowned when he realized the lights were off in the house. Bree must still be at the doctor’s, but her appointment had been hours ago. He wished she’d let him go along. She was more likely not to tell the doctor how bad she’d been feeling.

Samson met him at the door. Kade sniffed the aromas in the air as he stomped the snow from his feet, then rubbed Samson’s head. “Smells like herring. Your mom hates herring.” He kicked off his boots and followed the delicious scent.

His first impression of the house had been wrong. It wasn’t dark. Candles flickered on the table and the fireplace mantel. “Bree?”

Wearing a dark-green dress and heels, she appeared in the doorway from the kitchen. Her red hair was in soft curls around her heart-shaped face, and her smile lit up the room with no need of the candles. The silver tray in her hand held what looked like a treat he hadn’t had in ages.

He could barely tear his gaze away from his wife, but she held up the tray, obviously expecting a comment. “Is that nakkikääröt?” The sausage rolls were one of his favorites. “And I could swear I smell herring.”

“Right on both counts.” She came toward him and extended the tray. “They’re still hot.”

He picked one up. “Oh, ouch, you weren’t kidding.” He blew on it, then took a bite. The flavors hit his tongue and he nearly groaned. “Where’s Dave?”

“At Naomi’s.” She was still smiling.

He gobbled the last of the food. “What did the doctor say? Has he given you some magic medicine to cure you?”

She put the tray on the table. “This is a condition we’ll have to live with for a while.”

He stilled. “Is it serious?” Fear grabbed him by the throat and wouldn’t let go.

Her smile was playful. “It depends on what you mean by serious. It’s going to disrupt our lives. Neither of us will likely get any sleep for months.”

He studied her face. “Spill it, Green Eyes. What’s wrong with you? It can’t be too bad with that smile on your face.”

She took his hand and guided it to her belly. “What do you want more than anything, Kade?”

He searched her clear green eyes, those eyes he loved so much. “You, Bree. Always you.”

“Other than that. What would make our life complete?” Her gaze grew sober, and she pressed his hand harder against the soft mound of her belly.

He could have sworn his heart stopped in his chest, that he forgot to draw in air as her meaning sank in. “You don’t mean . . . ,” he whispered.

She nodded. “A baby, Kade. We’re going to have a baby.”

He whooped and lifted her in his arms. Samson barked and chased them as he whirled her around the room. Both of them laughing, laughing until the tears ran.
