for you, and Megan sees it.”
    Jennifer's mouth drops open. “What! You ’re everything to me, Phoenix look at me.” He slowly turned around. “Phoenix, I love you. I have never felt this way before, and I never want hear you say you're not good enough for me. I am the one that doesn't deserve to be with you. You are perfect in every way, and I don’t come close to perfection.” Jennifer felt her heart beating faster.
    Phoenix closed his eyes. “You can't love me, you are too pure.”
    Jennifer walked over to Phoenix, and touched his face. “I do Phoenix, I love you.” He opened his eyes and she smiled at him.
    He put his hand on her face. “Darling, I don’t know if I can ever return your love. No one has ever given it to me before.”
    She smiled at him. “I just want you.” He kissed her sweetly, and she pulled away before they both wanted something more. “Megan wants talk to you.” He made a face that made her giggle. “Hey now, she just wants to tell you that she is sorry.”
    He sighed . “Fine. I'll do it for you.”
    “See Phoen ix, you care about me.” He took her hand and lightly squeezed it.
    “Darl ing, I care about you.” He opened the door and they walked out holding hands to see Megan.
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter Nine
     
     
    Megan was where Jennifer left her, on the couch. “Megan?” Jennifer said and her best friend turns around. She smiled at them.
    She stood up and met them before they could make it to the couch. “Phoenix, I wasn’t fair to you. I saw how Jen was after you left her, and I wanted to kill you. But, now I can see you aren't a slime ball. I’m sorry for acting like I did.” Phoenix tightened his hand on hers, and then let go.
    “I wasn’t fair to you either, and I don’t blame you for protecting Jennifer. But I want you to know if I had to I would give up my life for her and our babies.” If Jennifer weren't in love with him she would have fallen, right then.
    Megan smiled, and nodded . “Good, because she doesn't deserve to be a single mother of twins.”
    “I will be there for her and our babies no mat ter what.” Jennifer’s heart swelled, and there was a strong movement in her abdomen.

She knew Jennifer wanted to be alone with him. “I'm going to go wait for the good doctor outside. What does he look like?”
    “He has black hair and green eyes. Oh and he is drop dead gorgeous.” Jennifer winked at her best friend.
    “Great , drop dead gorgeous can help me carry up my bag. That's if you want me back.”
    Jennifer nodded, and grinned . “Of course I do!” Megan winked at her and turned around to walk out of the apartment.
    As soon as the door shut Phoenix looked up at Jennifer. “Our babies.” She heard Phoenix whisper and at the sound of their father's voice they start moving again. He laughed, and she did too.
    “I think they are enchanted by your
