Las Vegas,March 31 1973

I was part the Vietnam war cause after my dad died in 1964 I had to go. But I promised Anthony to come back and I kept that promise and I have a little surprise for him. I saw a lot in Vietnam decaying bodies of men, women, and children, my comrades shooting their own brains out, and seeing my comrades disappear before my eyes was torture. I was finally back at the casino I breathed in and out and enter I was Anthony talking to Molly his back to me so I snuck up behind him and touched his shoulder he turned and started crying as he hugged me "Sammy I missed you so much!" I hugged him back "I missed you too baby." I kiss his cheek and look at a teary eyed Molly I walk over to her and hug her "I missed ya mols." "I missed you too." mom walks over to see what going on and when she saw me screamed and ran over to me and hugged me crying "Samuel Moses Husker I thought I lost you!" I hugged her back "I missed you too mom.". 

That night me and Anthony were on the roof "Hey uh Anthony." "Yeah?" "There's something I wanna ask you" "What's that" I get down on one knee and open a box with my moms hot pink heart necklace with a golden chain "Will you marry me?" Anthony hugs me with tears in his eyes "YES, OH MY GOD YES!!!!". A month later we got married I wore the suit my dad wore on his wedding day while Anthony wore my moms wedding dress there weren't many people just my mom, Molly, and a few family friends but it was just fine we wanted a small wedding anyway. that night while me and Anthony were in bed he turned to me "Hey uh sam?" "Yeah" "Do you want kids?" I smiled "Yeah I've always wanted a kids well a kid not kids." Anthony laughed  "Ok ok. So would you rather have a son or a daughter?" I think for a second "I always wanted a daughter." "Yeah me too." "So want do you want to name her?" "Bridget after my mom" I smile "That's perfect but since you chose her first name I get to pick her middle name." Anthony laughed "Ok so what will it be?" I think for a minute "Mary." "Why Mary?" "Well most of my families middles or first names are for the Bible. So why not?" Anthony laughed "Ok Mary it is."

Cat eyes Casino, Las Vegas, December 10 1974

I was putting the decorations on the Christmas tree when Anthony walked in holding Bridget our baby who looks just like me same dark skin, amber eyes, and curly black hair but she has Anthony's freckles and long legs, (A/N: before anyone asks, no she was not adopted) then Anthony said "Sammy ya mind holding her for a bit so I can get the cookies out of the oven?" I smile "I don't mind." he hands her to me as he goes to the kitchen. While I'm holding her she tries to touch a shiny red ornament I chuckle as I took it from the tree and handed it to her she giggled looking at herself as Molly walks in holding the stockings and a garland "Samuel don't let her touch the ornaments she might drop it!" she said, a bit mad "It's just a plastic she'll be fine.". She sighed and started to decorate the fireplace. 5 minutes later Anthony came back with tray of gingerbread cookies and ginger snaps smiling "you guys want cookies?" me and Molly nodded as Anthony handed Molly a ginger snap and walked up to me as Bridget started giggling clearly wanted a gingerbread cookie. Anthony gently took the ornament from her and placed it on the coffee table as she made a grabbing motion for the cookies Anthony laughed saying"I see Bridget wants a cookie." Bridget laughed and clapped as me and Anthony smiled and said "Ok here come the airplane.". She takes a bite and when she finishes she smiles and makes another grabbing motion for the cookies Anthony laughed and give a second one as he walk back to the kitchen and comes back as I hand him Bridget "She so cute Sammy.". I kiss him on the forehead and kiss Bridget's cheek saying "Yeah she is. And she's perfect."
