One Year Later
The house has been alive with laughter, the children running around with Dodger who had loved every minute of it. It's just another weekend at Lisa's but she loves having us all there - even if there is some bickering, especially between Scott and Chris.
I note his absence as I sit talking to Lisa, and then make my excuses, getting up and going to find out where he is.
He's in the front yard, sitting under 'our' tree that we'd sit under and listen to the world go by back during that summer. It feels like a lifetime ago now.
"Whatcha doing?" I ask as he's leant back against the trunk with his eyes closed. "Wait, are you dead?"
"Very funny Tam".
"Well you do say that you're getting older". I point out.
He says it all the time, and yet he's aging like a fine wine anyway.
"Taking the evening in like we used to, come sit with me so I can have the full nostalgic experience". He says and I get down and lay against him, his arm sliding around me so his hand comes to rest protectively over the bump that's recently started to show more. "That's better. Now I've got both my girls to enjoy this with".
Finally. It's taken a while but we're finally having a family of our own. Lisa couldn't be anymore excited - both our families couldn't.
I'm still a secret to the rest of the world but I don't mind. I've become used to it and that's how it's going to stay for now, especially now we have a baby to think of. The last thing I want is her face all over media sites. We both agreed that even if we become public knowledge - her face will never be shown.
It's more than enough for us, and always will be.
