Billionaire's Contract Engagement(62)

He grinned, thinking that she was probably right. "In that case, you could hug me now."

She cracked a smile and walked into his arms, and he wrapped them around  her. Even with the grocery bag crushed between them, it was darned near  perfect. She was perfect.

"You know, deep down I didn't really think it was over," she said. "I  figured you would come around. And of course I would be forced to take  you back. Again."

"But only after I groveled for a while?"

She grinned. "Of course."

He leaned down to kiss her, when a box sitting at the very top of the  grocery bag caught his eye. There's no way that was what he thought it  was  … .

He pulled it out and read the label, then looked down at Mel. "A pregnancy test? What is this for?"

She was grinning up at him. "What do you think?"

He shook his head in amazement. "Again?"

"I don't know for sure yet. I'm only four or five days late. But my  breasts are so tender I can barely touch them and that was a dead  giveaway last time."

"I don't get it. I'm supposed to be sterile from the radiation."

"You might want to get that checked, because for a guy who is supposed  to be sterile, you seem to have no problem knocking me up."

He laughed. "This is nuts. You realize that even if there are a few guys  left in there, the odds of us going three years unprotected, then you  getting pregnant not once but twice, is astronomical."

She shrugged. "I guess that just means it was meant to be. Our own little miracle."

He took the bag from her and set it on the ground so he could hug her  properly. He didn't even care that people were driving by looking at  them as if they were nuts.

As far as he was concerned, the real miracle was that he had let her go  twice, and here she was back in his arms. And she could be damned sure  he would never let her go again.
