GHOST OF A CHANCE, a paranormal short story (6 page)

She smiled, took hold of his free hand and brought it to rest on her belly. “Better than okay.”
“I’m getting my babies,” his father said joyously, and a second later, the lights in the room flashed on and off.
“I think Anna and Skippy approve,” said Nancy, and the detective raised his glass in agreement.
Embracing his newlywed wife, Peter grinned. “I guess we’re going to be expanding more than the master suite in this old place.”
Tracy smiled and inched up on tiptoe to brush a kiss across his lips. “You know Francis can be either a boy or girl’s name.”
“Seems right to me,” he said and once again the lights dimmed off and on, but neither Peter nor Tracy paid it much mind.
The tragedy of an unlikely pair of ghosts had brought them together. It seemed only fair that they hang around for the good times to come.
