Heidi took those words very seriously, for a four-year-old that was a lot.  She ran over these new ideas in her little head silently, even pausing her from another bite of the cake, again saying a lot for her.  She then nodded.  "Ok, I think it a good thing.  There is a guest room since the nursery will be full with us in it.  Miss Karen will have to have that room."

Lorn raised up his hand to cover his mouth to stifle a laugh, but couldn't quite manage it.   "Well, when people are married, Heidi, they share bedrooms and beds too.  So, Miss Karen would be in my bedroom with me."  He gave a hopeless look at Karen unable to hide the humor in his blue eyes.  "In fact, I was thinking that drawing-room was always too big for us.  I could put walls in and once you are old enough for your own big girl bedroom, one of them would be for you.  What would you think of that?"

Heidi's eyes went wide.  "When is old enough?  Is it tomorrow old enough?"

Lorn shrugged.  "No, not tomorrow, smartie pants, I don't know, really.  Let's think on that one?"

He shook his head.  She was a sneaky one this little one of his.  He then added.  "When Miss Karen and I get married, that would make you a big sister to the twins.  How about that?"

"A big sister?  They are mine too?"  She looked to Karen as if to ask her if that was true.  "Harld and Nim will be my babies too?"  She had trouble with the names but it came at quite not right.
