Then I look at the two we have, Cole looking so much like his father. I know I’ll have to beat the girls off with a dang stick.
Though with Ryleigh, Luke says the same thing, that he’ll need stock in shot guns because she looks just like her mom.
Luke comes out of the bathroom with a pair of loose cotton pajama bottoms on, I’m too sated to get up just yet.
“Stay in bed, I’m going to get the kids breakfast. You want to sleep a little more?” he suggests.
“Yeah, maybe we have a lazy day with the kids?” I ask.
“Pizza or sushi?” he replies.
“Is that even a question? Both, sushi for us and pizza for the kids,” I reply. We try to make a family day once a week, and if we can’t, we’ll have a lazy day watching movies, eating junk food, and lounging around.
“Why did I even ask, I’ll see you in a little bit,” Luke gives me one last kiss and heads out the door.
I hear the kids laugh and squeal, knowing they’re both jumping on him, and Luke, he just takes it like the great father he is. Carrying both of them, one will be on his back, and the other in his hands.
As much as I want to sleep just a little more, I’d rather be out in the living room with my family.
Taking a quick shower, throwing on some clothes, I sneak down the stairs. I love sitting on the bottom of the steps listening to the way Luke gives his undivided attention to Ryleigh and Cole. So much has changed since I once met the man I wrote sweet nothings on his coffee cup to get his attention.
“Daddy, I don’t want pizza. I want sushi,” Cole says. I hide my giggle, Cole has no problem eating what Luke and I do. It’s Ryleigh who is the picky one.
“Oh man, that means no pizza. Thanks, Cole,” I can already see Ryleigh standing with her hand on her hip.
“We’re getting both. You know mom will sneak cold pizza for breakfast tomorrow when she thinks we’re not looking,” I sit here listening to them until my own stomach growls, letting me know it’s time to join my family.
Our life couldn’t be more beautiful, and it’s all ours.
The End
