Smiling at the man of my dreams, I pull his head down to mine and let him lift me onto the counter whilst massaging my tongue with his own.
Is it bed time yet?
Sigh.
“I didn’t see a thing,” Ashlyn announces, walking into the kitchen. She covers her eyes and walks back out again, almost slamming into her brother on her way past.
“No, but we did and it is so going on Facebook!” Dillan roars with laughter, his phone aimed our way from the doorway. Emily is crouched down, filming us through the gap in his legs.
“That is so wrong,” Emily adds, giggling hysterically.
I close my eyes, because I know what’s coming. I also cover my ears and I do it just in time to protect my ear drums from the kids’ screams of fear induced glee and their heavy footsteps carrying them away. When I open my eyes and uncover my ears, the kitchen is vacant save for the ginger cat that adopted us two years ago.
I scratch him behind the ears and touch the tiny yellow crystal on my bracelet shaped like a cat, which sits directly beside a blue dummy, a pink bottle and a lilac heart.
One for each of my kids.
Our entire lives on one bracelet.
Keeping us forever connected.
“Do you remember the time we were worried we’d never be normal?” I ask Nathan when he re-enters the kitchen looking dishevelled and out of breath.
He’s so handsome, even more so than the first time I met him. Age suits him and the hair above his ears that’s starting to grey only makes him more enticing. God, I love this man.
His smile is wide and full of love and his hands immediately pull me to him. “I don’t think we have anything to worry about anymore.”
