Heidi gave a very certain nod of her head.  "Lots of babies.  I will be a good big sister."  She promised.  Then she tilted her head a bit.  "Can I go ahead and call you Mama Karen now, or do I have to wait till you get marriage party like our friends did?"

Lorn looked at Karen.  "Up to you, Sunshine."  He let Karen decide that one.

When Karen asked him about asking her to marry her, he laughed.  He had said he had to talk to Heidi.  "Let me get a ring, Sunshine.  But, yeah informally,"  he urged Heidi to stand up and he moved over to kneel in beside Karen's chair.  "Mrs. Calloway, will you give me the honor of being your husband with my heart and a little chocolate-covered four-year-old added on?"

Heidi watched then moved over to go on her knees beside her father facing Karen with the said chocolate icing all over her mouth.  "Marry me to, Miss Karen."  She added with her little blue eyes echoing her father's.
