He grinned, her response making him so happy.  "Let me talk to Heidi to see what she thinks.  I have no doubt she would want you to be her mother, but I want her to understand that we won't forget Momma Cress nor her birth mother, and the various grandparents."  He thought about it for a moment.  "I do think we will need to make the large drawing-room into three small rooms.  The nanny lives behind the nursery, which you already know.  But that way we will have four bedrooms when the children get older.  I will need you to plan the reception room to make it a parlor for you as we do have visitors from time to time."  He smiled.

He was already imagining the home they would fill with love.  "I have to go to my stable in town tomorrow.  Perhaps you'd like to go with Heidi and me?  We could make a day out of it.  I would be leaving about noon."  He thought a few errands while they were there would be needed.  He did plan on a ring for her for sure.
