And at the end of the aisle stood an arch draped in white tulle. It would have small blue flowers alongside white roses adorning the arch. Both Lea and Popi had come together once more to make this a very special wedding. And they had outdone themselves. It was everything Stasia had been hoping for and more.
“Do you think we should be here?” Roberto asked.
“Why not? After all, it is our wedding.”
And wait until he saw the strapless dress she’d chosen for the big day. Her hair would be pulled back in a loose braid with small flowers inserted. On her feet would be sandals with beaded lace over the tops of her feet.
Roberto smiled at her. “Does this mean you’ll stop worrying now?” When she nodded, he said, “Good. Because I’m not going anywhere. And in just a couple of hours we’re going to be husband and wife.” He studied her face for a moment. “You still have something on your mind. What can I say to convince you that absolutely nothing is going to go wrong today?”
“I’m not worried. Honest.”
“There is something on your mind—I can see it in your eyes.”
And then it came back to her, the big news she had to share with him. She just hoped that he was as excited about it as she was.
“I have some stuff to discuss with you and I didn’t want to do it over the phone.”
His dark brows drew together in a worried line as he reached out and took her hands in his. “What is it?”
“First, the paperwork for the foundation has come through. We’re all approved and everyone I invited to be on the board has accepted.”
Relief eased the worry lines on his face, and in their place, a smile lifted his lips. “That’s wonderful.” He leaned down and gave her a brief kiss. “I’m so proud of you. I knew you could do anything you set your mind on.” He paused. “You said the first thing—that implies you have more news.”
“I... I do.” She gazed into his eyes, finding the added strength she needed to put the words out there. “Roberto, I have something to tell you that I hope you will find as exciting as I do.”
A guarded look crossed his handsome face. “And this news, would it have anything to do with expanding our family?”
Her mouth gaped. “How...how did you know?”
A smile covered his face and lit up his eyes. “Call it wishful thinking.”
“Call it whatever you want, but the doctor says in seven months and one week, we’re going to be calling you Daddy.”
“Woo-hoo!” He picked her up in his arms and swung her around. When he settled her feet back on the ground, he said, “I didn’t think it was possible to make this day any better, but somehow you found a way. Thank you for making me see that life can be more than I ever imagined. I am truly living a dream.”
“You are my dream too. I love you.”
“I love you too.”
