I walk through the door, excited to spoilat me and wraps her arms around my neck as I lean down In her typical way, Olivia talks endlessly, filling me in on every aspect of her day, which I always love She takes my hand and leads me into the kitchen where ht have taken cooking lessons in the past and improved over time, but her food has always been better
“Good evening” I come up behind her and wrap my ar hair and inhale her deeply That scent is so co home to it every day “And what have I done to deserve you cooking forit”
She spins around to kissto deserve it So you…” Which is the ift, and I pass Olivia hers as well “See what I ” She pauses to kiss ht is special”

“Oh ”
I race across the rooht with tears of joy rolling down , connecting all three of us, all four of us now, in the best way possible
Once upon a time, this life was so out of reach that I couldn’t have even ile day I have the wife that I have alanted, a beautiful daughter who is wild, crazy, loud, fun, and now I have another child on the way It truly is a miracle
“I love you, Chloe Landon” I love calling her that
“Well, I love you too I feel like the luckiest woman alive to have you two and now another baby on the way”
She ht think that she’s lucky, but it will always be old And I intend to keep her happy for the rest of my life …
