Chapter 50: Can this be real?

Cody is home this week, and our babies are getting ready to go trick-or-treating. I can't believe that our little babies are now nineteen months old. They are talking and getting into everything. They keep Cody and me on our toes. 

They both look so much like their daddy, and I love that. I see him every time I look at them. I see Jordan in our two sons and myself in our daughter. 

There is no love like a mother's and father's love. Cody loves all five of my children, even the three that doesn't belong to him. 

They all love him too. Jordan has been dating Daisy for a while now, but they haven't moved in together or anything. She comes and stays with him when he's not touring for a few weeks here and there. 

He even went and stayed with her a few times, but that is as deep as their relationship has gotten. I still see that look in his eye when he looks at me. The look of love and wanting me.  

He hasn't tried anything since right before my wedding when he tried to get me not to marry Cody and found out I was pregnant. 

I have never doubted Jordan's love for me, but he cheated on me and broke my heart. He destroyed our family and our happily ever after. 

Cody has never faltered; he only has eyes for me. I see posts and videos of him when he is on the road, and he is always with the guys, never with females. 

There was one time when he was taking a picture with a fan, and she tried to kiss him. He pushed her away real fast and held his finger up. He can't wear his wedding ring when he is wrestling, so he had one tattooed on his finger so it would never come off. 

So, he takes his band off when he leaves for work and puts it back on when he's home. He called me after it happened and told me about it. Then I saw the video and laughed. I never have to worry about Cody.

He doesn't go out drinking when he's gone, and he said he never would drink without me. That way, there is no chance of anything happening. He only goes out to dinner with his friends from work, and that's fine. 

I love that he has friends, and I love that his friends watch out for him and me. Cody told me one night he would never be able to live with himself if he messed up and lost me. I was his everything. 

He is always writing me poems and love letters when he leaves, and I find them. He is so sweet. I never knew life could be so great.

He always makes me feel so special and loved. He makes my kids feel special and loved. Natalie absolutely adores Cody; every time he comes home, she runs to him, and he loves it. 

He is always playing catch and stuff with the boys. Jayden and Nathaniel love it when Cody is home. They get outside and help him mow the yard and clean the pool. 

Our kids are growing up so fast. Nathaniel just turned eight, Jayden will be seven in three months, Natalie is five, then Tristan and Kristen are nineteen months old. I can't believe they are growing up so fast. 

I love how Cody loves all of my kids. He treats them all the same, and that is so great. That was one of my biggest fears when we decided to have a baby that his kids would be treated better than Jordan's kids by him, and yet they aren't; he treats them all the same. 

Sometimes, I feel that he treats my oldest three a little better and pays them more attention. I think that's just in my head. He will bring toys home for the twins and then take the older three out to eat and ice cream. 

He takes all five of them to Chuck E. Cheese, and he plays games with the older three and lets the babies ride and have fun. The last time we went, he spent over five hundred dollars to make sure all the kids got what they wanted. He won the twins small stuffed animals while Nathaniel, Jayden, and Natalie got their pick.
