Chase kissed her. “Since most of them look like their mother, that’s not at all hard to do.”

  It was such a romantic thing to say, but then she’d learned early on that this was what she could expect from him. Chase McCandles loved his God, his wife, and his children with his whole heart. Through the years he had taught Rusty so much. They had grown in the Lord and closer to each other with every passing day.

  “Coming to bed now?” Rusty asked.

  “Yes.”

  Chase joined her a few minutes later. Rusty let a huge sigh escape when her head was finally pillowed on Chase’s shoulder.

  “Why the sigh?” he asked.

  “Eight children, Chase. Can you believe it?”

  “Yes, I can, but even if I were having trouble, I would need only to walk around the landing and look into each door.”

  Rusty laughed. “A long time ago I asked God to remember me when He thought of motherhood.”

  “I didn’t know that.” Chase came up on one elbow to look down into her face.

  “It’s true.” Rusty brushed the hair from his brow. “I worked with children at the orphanage and even with Quin, and I wondered when I would have children of my own.”

  Chase smiled. “Now Quintin is your own, plus seven besides. God certainly did remember you, didn’t He, Katherine?”

  “Yes, He did, but that’s no surprise at all, is it?”

  “No surprise at all,” he echoed softly, a smile in his voice. “No surprise at all.”
