* God always has a plan. *

Mira was busy knitting some stockings as she sang along to a christian song that played on her Spotify.
The way you love me, no one can ever love me that way.
Help me to see me from the lens of your eyes. 
Lover of my soul, look what you've done for me. Mira thought of her unborn children as she sang along.
She felt so lucky and blessed to get more than she could ever ask for, even though unlike most women she was skeptical about getting pregnant and having kids.
Yet, God didn't look at that, but blessed her nevertheless. 
  Your love is amazing, your love is amazing.
Just then, the doorbell rang and she stood up slowly and walked towards the door. 
From the CCTV footage she was able to see who it was and she let out a gasp, realizing who it was.
“ Nanny! ” she almost screamed, opening the door to the latter. “ Baby. ” Nanny laughed as the latter flew into her arms, almost forgetting that she's now seven months pregnant.
“ I miss you, Nanny! ” Mira became emotional and Nanny Ann spent the next few minutes calming her down.
Together, they walked into the living room, after closing the door behind them.  “ Can I get you something, Nanny? ” Nanny Ann almost nodded, but one look at Mira she changed her mind.  “ It's okay. I'm fine. If I need anything I'll get it myself, Kay? ” 
“ Alright then. ” Mira grinned happily. 
“ So how far along are you? ” Though, she could roughly guess the answer, but she still wanted to know.
“ 7.5 months. ” Mira blushed, rubbing her baby bump. 
“ Oh wow. ”  Nanny smiled,  “ So how has it been? Does it still feel weird? ” 
“ Um, not really, just that I'm unable to sleep as much as I want to, and I also tend to get tired very easily. ” Mira ranted like a child.
“ It's normal. ” She assured her. “ I believe Joseph has been taking good care of you. ” 
“ A little too much I'll say. He doesn't let me do anything. ” Nanny chuckled, seeing her pout. 
“ He's always been that way, haven't he? ” She recalled how they both always acted like lovers from the very beginning. Though they themselves might think they were just best friends, she knew better. 
“ He has. ” Silence descended between them for several minutes until Mira spoke up.
“ So… why the sudden visit, Nanny? ” 
“ Aren't I invited? ” She placed her hand on her chest, feigning hurt.
“ Of course you are. You are welcome to live here if you want. ”
“ No. Thank you. ” she said abruptly and they both chuckled.
“ Roberts and I have decided to move back here. ” 
“ You wanna live here in Austria? ” 
“ Yup, we are still yet to find a house though. ” Hearing her words, it felt like a sign as Joseph's voice rang in her ears.  “ Are you sure you want to sell the house? ” Then she had been doubtful, as she didn't want to simply give the house to an outsider. The house was just too priceless to her, to be inhabited by just anyone. 
   “ Why don't you try my parent's house? You might like it. ” Nanny stared wide eyed at her, obviously not believing what she was hearing. “ You wanna sell the house? ” 
“ Yes, I want to. ” As much as she wanted to hold on to the house, she couldn't. She had to let go and move on, she couldn't stay stuck in the past. 
What's happened has happened, so rather than go over it over and over, the best choice is to let go and that's what she'll be doing as she figured it's the best choice. 
“ Are you sure? ” Nanny clearly wasn't convinced, knowing just how much Mira loved her parents and treasured all of their memories. 
“ Yes, Nanny. I have made my decision and I'd really love it if you and Uncle could buy it. ”  Hearing the firmness in her voice, she sighed. “ It'll be an honor. ” 
“ Thank you. ” 
That night, Mira spoke to Joseph about her Decision as she laid on him.
Despite how heavy she was, Joseph didn't feel so much of her weight as she laid on him. Probably because he was slowly getting used to it. 
“ Do you feel okay selling it to Nanny? ” He slowly caressed her hair.
“ I do. ” She pursed her lips. “ Besides, Nanny knows how much the house means to me, and it would be more easy for me to access if the house were to be in Nanny's care. ” Nanny was a lover of vegetation just like her mom was, she couldn't wait to see the house restored back to its former glory or even more. 
“ Well, if that's your decision. I support you. ”
“ Um. Thank you. ” 
“ My pleasure. ”
They were both silent for some minutes, until Mira started feeling the heat growing between them and then she realized how much she had missed him.  “ Jose? ” 
“ Um? ” His voice was hoarse, and she knew instantly that he was trying his best to control himself.
“ Are you okay with this? ” Joseph shut his eyes hearing her voice, only he knew how hard it was for him to stay away from her, especially now that she was growing more beautiful and inviting as the day rolled by.
   He felt his desire for her grow as the day grew by and a single touch from her was enough to set him on fire.
“ You don't have to worry about me, Wifey. I'll be fine. ” He held her hand, reassuring her. 
Yet, Mira wasn't convinced. She turned with slight difficulty and was now facing him. 
Seeing how pale he was, she sighed realizing how much he was struggling. “ Why does it have to be this hard? ” she wondered. 
“ We can try, Jose — ” He interrupted her before she could finish her words.  “ No, Mira. ” He felt sorry, realizing how much his voice had risen. It was the first time he had raised his voice at her and Mira flinched.  “ I'm sorry, Mira. we just can't do it. ” He cupped her face.  “ I'll be fine, okay? Since you are making a huge sacrifice by carrying our babies to term. Then I should be able to do this too, okay? ” Tear dropped from Mira's eyes hearing his words. She couldn't help recalling her parent's words from the letter reminding her of how much God loved her and adored her. ‘ What did I do to deserve a man like Joseph, Lord? ’ 
“ Don't cry, Babe. It's okay. ” He wiped out her tears, leaving a brief peck on her lips. “ You are my wife and a huge part of me, my role is to love you just as I love myself and that's what I've been aiming for. So it's okay. ” 
“ You are the best husband ever, Jose! ” She tightened her hold on him.  “ I love you. ” 
“ I love you more, Miranda. ” He pecked her once again, before standing up and walking to the bathroom for a cold shower.
Hearing the sound of the shower, Mira sighed. “ Lord, please help Joseph. He needs you. ” 
Meanwhile in the shower, Joseph was also praying for his bride. “ Lord, Strengthen Miranda. She needs you. ” 
Indeed, a Godly marriage is one to be desired and waited for, no matter how long it takes as it's so much worth it!
