WOMAN - H.S

32.

"Anna?" Andrew spoke softly across the kitchen counter. "Hmm?" I hummed as I lent myself against the counter.

"Blue" is all he said.

Blue was Andrews and I's code word when we were little. It was the color of all of our dreams. The water we wanted to swim in, the sky we'd fly in, the pictures we'd painted, the color of our eyes.

We always said the word blue when we had a new dream.

I furrowed my brows. "I want to name my son Blue" he said.

I stared at him.

The last time Andrew said the word Blue was when he met Tasha.

I slowly broke out into a smile hugging him.

"I'm proud of you." I told him as I hugged him.

Two months later.

Hawaii

We made it to Hawaii.

The waters were perfectly blue and clear.

The coconuts were something I've never imagined being so excited to see on a tree.

"What do you think Blue?" I asked the blue eyed baby boy sitting on my hip.

Tasha and Andrew had their baby boy two months ago.

Blue Samson Bennet.

Safe to say I never wanted to let him go, he's perfect.

Blue and I stood under a palm tree watching everyone in the ocean.

I had offered to watch Blue wanting Tasha to have fun in the water with her husband.

I watched as my mom floated on a big Unicorn float-y drinking out of a coconut.

She was in paradise.

I laughed at Harry and Rex who were playing a game with Olive and jay, Rex on Harry's shoulders and Olive on Jays as they tried to knock each other down.

Rex was getting stronger, and he was over the moon about it.

I looked down at Blue who was looking at me with his big eyes.

"Your family's crazy" I spoke in a baby voice cringing at myself making Blue smile.

He came fresh out of the womb with a beautiful dimply smile.

"We're not on that level buddy" I told him shaking my head. "thbw" my mouth dropped as I watched him stick his tongue between his lips and make a noise. "thbw" he did it again, this time blowing spit.

I laughed shaking my head.

"That was uncalled for" I sighed this time doing it back to him.

He smiled, doing it again.

It kept repeating my laugh only getting louder as he did it.

I put my hand over his mouth aw he kept trying to do it making him slobber on my hand.

"Gross" I smiled.

I heard foot steps coming towards us looking up to see a bare chested Harry.

I loved seeing all of his tattoos.

He grinned at the baby in my arms who was smiling.

Harry was just as obsessed with Blue as I was. We went to Indiana for a few weeks babysitting him a few nights every week so Tasha and Andrew could get some sleep. It was the cutest thing ever.
