“Put an adonline.”
Mack huffed. “We can’t just take in any randomstranger.”
“So get a few people up here, do some interviews and pick the one that’s the leastcrazy.”
“That sounds like a disaster in themaking.”
Brady laughed and slapped him on the shoulder. “You’ll figure it out. Hell, maybe we’ll even be able to find youawife.”
Mack glared at him. “I have enough responsibility without taking on a relationship. Besides, I am perfectly happyalone.”
Brady shrugged. “I used to think so too, but then Rachel came backtome.”
Mack said, “You don’t want to keep your womanwaiting.”
“Never say never.” Brady slapped Mack’s back before walking back into thehouse.
He found his future wife in his bedroom. As he walked up behind her, he slid his arms around her belly. “Hey,sexy.”
She turned and smiled. “I think we should start a new Christmastradition.”
He nibbled on her neck. “I can think ofafew.”
“It would involve the whole family,Jimmytoo.”
He leanedback. “Okay.”
When she told him the idea, he readilyagreed.
After bundling Jimmy up in snow pants, boots, and a waterproof jacket, they walked out into the field behind the porch. The winter sun splashed across the snow making it sparkle like a milliondiamonds.
Rachel said, “I’ll gofirst.”
She put her arms out and leaned back, falling into a heap of snow. She waved her arms upanddown.
Jimmy’s face brightened. “Mommy’s making anangel.”
He plopped down on his butt then lay back and copied her. “I made one too. Now you,daddy.”
Humbled by how lucky he felt, he dropped onto his back and made his own angel. His new family was a gift. One that he’d give thanks for every day for the rest ofhislife.
