  AND BABY MAKES THREE
  
  Before seeking his own room, Trevor decided to look in on Ashley. As he opened
  the door to her room, he saw the glow of a candle. Abside the bed, Caitlyn
  looked up as he entered.
  
  They stood in companionable silence gazing at the angelic countenance of their
  child asleep. Trevor could not resist reaching to touch an errant blonde curl.
  
  “She is so beautiful,” he whispered. Profoundly moved, he turned to Caitlyn
  and made no effort to hide his emotions. “Thank you. Thank you for giving me
  this child.”
  
  Her response was a soft, nervous laugh. “Perhaps I should thank you. Ashley is
  quite simply the best thing that ever happened to me.” Her eyes shone brightly
  in the candlelight.
  
  Not knowing what to say, he reached for her hand and locked his fingers
  tightly with hers. They stood in quietness for a few moments, each lost in
  thought; then she gently disengaged her hand. She extinguished the candle as
  they left Ashley’s room and descended the stairs
