Twins Make Four

“No, no,” Joanna said, waving her hand. “You stay here. Relax. Trust me, you’ll have plenty of diaper changing in your near future.”

“I could use the practice then.”

“You’ll have more than enough practice soon enough,” she said with a wink, and disappeared from the dining room as well, leaving me seated at the table alone.

I drummed my fingers on the table, feeling that something was clearly up. From the kitchen, I could hear Tobias’s and Anderson’s muttered voices.

What are they up to? I wondered.

Before I could think any further about it though, Tobias exited the kitchen with a covered dish in his hands. I looked at him skeptically as he smiled back at me.

“Some mystery dessert dish you’re trying to feed me?” I asked with a raised eyebrow.

I looked toward the general direction of the kitchen, seeing Anderson’s shadow lurking nearby.

“Something like that,” Tobias said, and then set the dish in front of me. “Hope you like it.”

Giving him one more skeptical look, I pulled the top off of the dish.

I blinked. There was no dessert inside. Instead, there was a small black box. I reached for it. Opening it, a huge diamond ring sparkled back at me. My eyes immediately began to water and my heart skipped several beats. When I looked up, Tobias was kneeling on one knee.

From somewhere beside me, a camera flashed; Joanna had gone to retrieve her phone to document the occurrence.

Anderson came to the kitchen doorway, smiling.

“Scarlet,” Tobias said, “you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. It’s been a long time coming, but it was a blessing to have you step into my life. I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life with you, raising our children. I can’t tell you how happy you’ve made me over these past months. With that being said, will you marry me?”

I let out a breath I hadn’t even realized I’d been holding. Tobias took the ring out of the box

and slid it onto my finger.

And all I could do was nod my head eagerly, before finally managing to choke out the word, “Yes.”

I sprung up from the chair and into Tobias’s arms, certain that I had never in my life experienced happiness so intense. Tobias kissed me, and all at once, I could see our happily forever after spreading right before my eyes.

I held her in my arms. I inhaled her sweet smell while tears ran down my cheeks. I loved her, but I knew I couldn’t keep her.
