Oh how she longed to tell Cassim that she once again carried his child! She knew that it was a miracle that she had become pregnant at age forty-one, but the Lord had made it happen.
The child within her was the result of that one night back in Israel when she and Cassim relived at bit of the past.
Aladdin came out onto her balcony.
"Mom."
Carina turned around. Aladdin went over to her.
"Are you okay?"
"I just wish there was some way for your father to find out."
"Tomorrow after breakfast I'll send Iago out to tell him."
Aladdin did just that.
About three and a half days later Iago arrived in Israel. He found Cassim and Diana.
"Cassim!"
"Iago, what are you doing here?"
"Well hi to you too."
Cassim laughed.
"I need to tell you something about Carina."
"What is it? Is she okay?"
"She's just fine."
"Oh. Tell me."
"She's pregnant."
Cassim and Diana stared at him.
"Come again."
"Carina is pregnant."
"How is that possible?"
"It was the Lord's will."
"That's true and that's a very good point." Diana said.
Cassim had become quiet. He opened his mouth again, but no sound came out this time. He shook his head and found his voice.
"That's amazing."
"It's a miracle."
"Yeah. It's a miracle all right."
