I smile at her; she looks beautiful all dressed up with er, happier than I have seen her in a long ti Ryder so he should be pretty quiet for you"

She walks over to us, bends and gives Ryder a little kiss on his forehead "He looks so handsome, Hunter" She looks at me and I see the tears pool in her eyes "He looks so e"

I hear that a lot, but I see a lot of CC in him too

"He looks handsome in his little suit, huh?" I pull Ryder’s bottle out and lift him to my shoulder so that I can burp him

"So handsome," She responds and the tears finally start to fall

Standing up, I wrap my one arm around her and kiss her head "I love you Mom"

She sniffs and nods, still too choked up to speak I hold her for a few more minutes until Ryder starts to fuss

She reaches for Ryder "Ok, give et out of here" Mos like a mad man "Look at you, Ryder, all dressed up just like your daddy"

CC wanted him dressed just like us, tan suits, white button down shirts and our blue ties to ive them both a kiss on their heads "Mason alk you and Ryder down to your seats in a few minutes"

I shake hands with Bentley first, "Another one bites the dust, huh?"

All the guys start laughing "Just wait red head; you’ll be in the same boat someday"
