Isabella’s POVThis is completely surreal. I’m going to be living with Zander. Not in secret, not hidden, but a relationship that is out in the open for all to see how much we love each other. I smiled widely at the thought.“What are you thinking, Izzy?” Zander asked.“That I’m exactly where I should be,” I said, smiling.“Izzzzzz,” Hailee squealed and came running to Isabella. “Up, up, up.” She put her arms up.“Hailee, Izzy has a tummy boo-boo,” Zander explained. “She can’t pick you up.”“Aw, poor Iz,” Hailee said, sadly, and then took Isabella’s hand. “Come, Iz. Sit, sit, sit.”“Thanks, Hailee,” I grinned and followed her into the living room.“Good?” Hailee asked.“Wonderful, just like you,” I said, touching her nose. Hailee giggled and ran towards Amelie, who was coming out of the kitchen with Trudy.Zander and I sat on the couch, and for the next few hours, visited friends and family. Carrington, Zander’s grandfather, was beyond thrilled to be getting more great-grandchildren.
