"That, and you pray every damn day," he says.
"Yeah, I guess maybe we have some angels on our side too, looking out for us."
"I love you Miracle," Silas says. He undresses me slowly, tugging my nightgown up over my shoulders and off my head. My breasts are full of milk, and he's gentle with me. Soft.
"Are you feeling okay?" he asks. "How long have you known?"
"Just a few days."
"A few days," he says, leaning me down on my back, placing a pillow behind my head. The floor is carpeted and soft, and we're alone in the living room. The blinds are drawn. He tugs off his pajama pants, and then his hard length is before me, and I run my hands over it. More comfortable now. Familiar. This man of mine is my husband, my lover, my best friend, the father of my children. I close my eyes, amazed at the miracle of our life.
"I love you," I whisper.
"My mom is going to be over the moon," he tells me.
"And my dad and my sisters, everybody is going to be so happy for us."
That's one thing about this year: Silas and I declaring our love and making a family has brought everyone so much joy. It's made me so sure in my decision to follow my heart and leave the convent.
It's like the moment I went toward the life I wanted and leaned into my wildest dreams, things began to work out for me.
I wonder what I would've lost out on if I had been too scared to follow my heart.
I run my fingers through my husband's hair, knowing I would've missed out on him.
"I love you, Silas," I say. "Thank you for being my dream come true in every way imaginable."
"Oh baby," he says. He runs his fingers over me, leaning down to kiss me. I'm tender, and he knows it, and he's gentle with me in the way I need. "I love you," he says as he begins to fill me up.
"I can't believe we're having another baby," I say. "I'm the happiest girl in the world."
He kisses me again and again and again. "Let me make you come before the babies wake up."
I laugh. "All right, baby," I say, wrapping my legs around his waist. "Fill me up and make me yours, the way only you and only you can ever do."
“I will, again and again. After all, you are my Christmas Miracle.”
