‘Why?’ Thanos teased, wrapping his arms around his wife’s waist. ‘Do you fancy a remodelling project?’
‘Only one room,’ she said with a small smile.
‘Yes?’
‘I mean, it’s not one hundred per cent necessary, but I thought a nursery would make it easier. You know, when the baby comes.’
‘Whose baby?’
She burst out laughing. ‘Ours, Thanos.’
‘Our baby?’
She nodded, her eyes locked to his, her smile radiant on her face.
‘Alice, do you mean...?’
She nodded, joy like a beacon glowing across the island. ‘I’m pregnant!’
Thanos lifted her off the ground, spinning her around, momentarily lost for words. But when he put Alice’s feet back on the sand, he knew just what he wanted to say. ‘Thank you.’
She wrinkled her nose. ‘What for?’
‘For making me happier than I ever knew possible. Thank you for everything.’
The sun slipped into the ocean, the day drew to a close, but their lives lay before them: full of love, happiness, family and hope.
