He kissed her back, long and sweet. “I love you, Grace. I already love Elizabeth. I feel as though she’s my own. But I’ll also want to give her a few brothers and sisters down the road.”

Grace smiled. “I’d like that. I think you’d be a whiz at changing diapers.”

He grinned then. “Bet your ass I would.”
