Olivia. "They are beautiful aren't they?"
Nathaniel smiled, squeezing her hand. "They certainly are my love."
The Duke and Duchess of Sutherland smiled as they watched their four children running around the courtyard of Sutherland Park. They were happily married for six years and had a lovely family. They couldn't be happier.
Their children were a year apart in age. The oldest was five-year-old Anthony, followed by four-year-old Lillian, three-year-old George, and two-year-old Elizabeth. All of them were quite well mannered, but did get into mischief from time to time.
William and Cornelia had three children of their own. Their oldest was Edward, followed by James, and Amelia. Edward was four years old, James two years old, and Amelia a year old.
Margaret and Anthony had two children. Their oldest was five-year-old Charles and their youngest was three year old Mary. They adored playing with their cousins whenever possible.
Lillian and Adelaide loved being grandmothers. Despite the fact that they would be exhausted after every beautiful day that they spent with their grandchildren, it was all worth it. They wouldn't trade any of it for the world.
For everyone involved, love came at them like a blazing fire from deep within a dragon. It captured their hearts with iron flames, not releasing them for a moment. And that was the greatest love of them all.
Nathaniel. "I love you my darling. "
Olivia. "I love you my dearest. "
They exchanged a soft kiss, knowing that their love would burn brightly for all eternity. That burning flame would never be extinguished.
