Dani pulls him off balance and in for a hug. “Oh shut up already…Dad. Of course you have our blessing.”
“Did you know about this, Nate?” My wife looks at me with questioning eyes.
“Not a bit.” I look over at Brian who is smiling like an idiot. “Is this the woman you’ve been talking to online? I did know he’s been chatting with a woman over Skype. I just wasn't aware it was your mom.”
We all make our way to the festivities with people stopping us every now and then to shake our hands and talk to us about this or that. The island has a whole new vibe about it, one of renewal and growth.
“Look Annabeth, here they come. And look at little Deliverance. Isn’t she just a little doll?” Ruth and Annabeth come rushing over to us and take the baby from my arms. They are the only people who call Dee by her full name. We named her after the woman who helped keep our love -and us- alive. We might not have seen Deliverance after that night on the cliffs overlooking the ocean, but we feel her presence every day. It’s in the soft wind that blows through our island’s trees, the gentle call of the beautiful blues of the water surrounding the land, the smile of our baby girl, and in the magic that permeates every part of our lives on this little stone island out in the middle of the ocean.
I was right when I told Nova that I might be the witch she came looking for, but it was her who truly brought the magic alive and bewitched me with her love. My lucky star…my Nova!
The End!
