To Make a Marriage(33)

Adam reached out and took one of her hands into his, the love he no  longer took pains to hide blazing brightly in his eyes. 'Did I remember  to thank you?' he asked.

'For the twins?' She laughed softly. 'I believe we have each other to thank for them!'                       
       
           



       

Adam shook his head. 'Not for the twins-although God knows I already  love them so much I ache with it,' he admitted. 'But it isn't them I  thank you for. It's the wonderful family you have given me for them. I-I  always wanted-I never believed-'

'They are your family too, Adam.' She squeezed his hand tightly in  understanding. They hadn't seen Glenda since that day at Adam's office,  never spoke of her, and Andie knew that was the way Adam wanted it to  remain.

'They can't love you as much as I do,' she told him. 'But almost!'

As Rome and Audrey finally returned their two sons to them, one in  Andie's arms, one in Adam's, the two of them still looking at each other  over the babies' heads, and she knew that love would only grow over the  years, grow and deepen.

It was for ever.
