Sophie shrugged her shoulders. “Perhaps because I want to be around you and the baby more than I want to have a successful business. Maybe because, initially, I wanted to prove to you that I was worthy of your respect and possibly your love so I came up with the idea of a business. Now that I’ve proven it to you, and myself, I want to move on to the next step.”

Jason had stopped and put her bucket down so he could see her while she told him these latest revelations. “And what would be the next step, my love?” he asked, amazed yet again at how beautiful she looked with her hair seeming to be on fire as the setting sun sparked off her titian tresses.

“Loving you. Making you deliriously happy. Making sure you don’t work too hard and bringing your son to your office so he can learn to be just as wonderful as you are,” she said. She wasn’t able to continue since Jason’s mouth covered hers in a passionate kiss that left them both breathless.

A week later, Sophie gave birth to a beautiful baby boy with dark brown hair and green eyes. Two years later, she gave birth to twin girls, both with red hair and dark, brown eyes just like their father.
