“So, what are we having?”
Freja motions for Hans, who brings her a small confetti cannon.
“Three, two, one!”
Pink confetti and glitter rain down on us. Anna looks up at me, tears in her eyes.
“Guess you were right.”
I brush my lips against hers. “Are you happy?”
“Unbelievably so.”

***Three Years Later***
Anna waddles into my office, little Hanna on her heels.
“Happy birthday, Daddy,” Hanna yells in the way only a toddler can.
I scoop her into my arms, kissing her until she giggles. Our little princess is the spitting image of her mother, down to the platinum strip in her red hair.
“Put me down! I’m a big girl.”
I set her on her feet, grabbing my chest right over my heart. “Did you hear that? Our daughter has wounded me.”
Anna laughs. “Just wait until she brings a boy home.”
Hanna’s little nose scrunches. “Boys are gross.”
“Even your brothers?” Anna asks, pointing to her round stomach.
“Yeah!”
She runs off, and Anna leans into me, moaning when I rub her lower back.
“That feels so good, Daddy.”
“How are our boys treating you,skatten min?”
“Good, though they’re making it known it’s getting a bit cramped in there.” She smiles up at me. “I can’t believe they’ll be here in a month.”
“Me either.” I give her a stern look. “Which is why you shouldn’t be planning a surprise party for me.”
“Our daughter is a traitor.”
“To be fair, I bribed her with a lot of candy.”
Anna laughs. “Well, that explains everything.”
“I mean it. If you’re tired, we can cancel.”
She leans up, kissing me. “No way, Daddy. I’ve worked hard making sure all of your brothers, their spouses, my family, the Jafars, the Van der Zees, and everyone from Chicago are in town for this. The only thing stopping this party is the arrival of Tobias and Fredrik.”
She stills, her eyes widening.
“Anna?”
