Anna and Ashtonmarried one year after meeting at the Chicago airport. Ashley was due to give birth to our first grandchild, a little girl, in a month, and Marley and I couldn’t wait to become grandparents.

After saying goodbye to Anna and Ashton as they left for their two-week honeymoon in Aruba, I hooked my arm around my beautiful wife.

“Who would have thought our son would settle down.” She smiled.

“I knew it the second Anna sat next to him at the airport. My God, babe. It was like you and me all those years ago.”

“You did good, my love. We’ve waited for this day for a long time.”

“Do you regret not having any more kids?” I asked.

“Nope. We did right by the twins, and now, we’ll have a granddaughter to dote on and help raise. You know what the best part will be?”

“What?” I tenderly kissed her lips.

“We get to send her home.” A bright smile graced her face.

“We do, don’t we?” I smiled as we walked to the car.

“Yep.” Marley popped her lips. “We’ve paid our dues and put in our time. Now, it’s our children’s turn to do the same.”

“It sure is, babe. Have I told you how much I love you?”

“A few times.” She smirked as we climbed into the back of the car.

“Well, when we get home, I’ll show you just how much I love you.”

“Promise, you bad boy?”

“Have I ever broken a promise to you?” I kissed her soft and beautiful lips.
