          After making a pit stop to Chase's parents and the local pizza parlor they make their way home, Tyler and Myah jamming out to Myah's Kids Bop CD. Deagan is looking out the truck window, the only sounds coming from the radio and Myah singing, smiling a little and just taking the day in. She feels Chase's hand slide into hers on her lap, intertwining their fingers. She grins.

          They get home and sit at the table eating their pizza as a family, talking about their days. Finishing up and after Myah and Taylor help Chase clean up, they walk out of the kitchen to tell Deagan goodnight.

          "Goodnight Deagan," Myah says, hugging her.

          "Goodnight," Taylor smiles kissing her cheek.

          "Goodnight guys," Deagan smiles as they make their way up the stairs.

          Chase emerges from the kitchen and says, "I'm gonna go make sure they are in bed, I'll be right back," leaning down and kissing Deagan's forehead.

          "Okay, I'll be here," Deagan smiles, taking a sip of her wine.


          Ten minutes later Chase walks back down the stairs, Deagan noticing his guitar in his hand. She sets her wine glass down and smiles at him.

          "Oooo the guitar, I haven't seen that in years," Deagan smiles crossing her legs.

          "I use it sometimes to put the munchkins to sleep," Chase smiles, sitting down in the chair across from Deagan.

          "Play me something," Deagan says softly.

           "Play you something huh?" Chase smiles, placing the guitar on his lap. "What do you want me to play?"

          Deagan shrugs her shoulders. "Play whatever."

          "Okay," Chase smiles, "well this is for you then," Chase winks, starting to play the guitar and strumming out the chords to Jon Langston's "Forever Girl."

          Deagan smiles leaning back into the chair watching him, recognizing the song. She watches him, his singing voice simply amazing and playing a slower acoustic version of the song.

"It's a glass of wine to keep her sane, and I

love the sound of her full name. Natural southern

beauty, can't explain what it does to me. She's

                       everything in my whole world, that's my forever girl."

          Chase finishes.

          Clapping her hands, "bravo," winking at Chase. Deagan leans over, sliding her hand on the back of Chase's neck and kissing him softly.

          "Did I woo you?" Chase asks, smiling.

          "Oh, definitely baby; you wooed me," Deagan laughs.

          "That was my intent," Chase laughs setting the guitar down. "Are you ready for bed?" Chase asks, kissing Deagan once more.

          "I am," standing up. "Are you going to serenade me in the bedroom?" she asks smiling.

          "Maybe," Chase walks, grabbing the guitar and Deagan's hand and making their way upstairs.
