After two years...
"Ben!!! Please bring him inside. It's lunch time." i called Ben as he was playing with our seven months old son Keith in the garden in frontyard. Ben enjoys every moment on weekends with him.
"Coming Mommy!!" he shouted and i giggled.
Soon, he came inside. I looked at Keith who was struggling to get out of Ben's arms when he saw me. He was like Ben, fair, grey eyes but had colour of my hair.
"Ohh my baby...are you hungry?"
I took him from Ben and he cuddled in my arms.
"I love to see you like this. You both are my life." Ben said hugging both of us.
"Ohh Daddy, we both love you too.." i said looking at Keith and Ben.
"Ben, i think we should leave early maybe i could help Sops in the arrangements."
It's Katherine's first birthday party today. Katherine aka katie is Sophie's daughter. Yes!! She gave birth to a baby girl. She is very preety just like Sops.
"Why not? We will leave after lunch." Ben said smiling. I called Sops and Ana and informed them.
We all will be meeting after a long time. My parents and Ben's family were also invited. We will have a great evening today.
After few hours we reached Gerard's place.
I entered the house, Keith was asleep thank god..he will not trouble us atleast for few hours now. Ben carried him. I opened the door and saw Sophie..
"Katherine...stop eating that!!!" she ran towards her. I saw little Katie was tasting chocolate from the bowl which looked like chocolate syrup. She was all messed up in chocolate all over her.
I laughed looking at the scene. Sops looked at me and shaked her head.
"See...how much she troubles me all day? She is a very naughty girl. Now you only handle her." she said rolling her eyes.
"Sops, she is just a kid." i said and went towards her.
"Hi Katie...how are you?"
She smiled at me and gave her finger to taste the chocolate. I sipped it.
"Umm..it's yummy...but we will taste it later. You have a birthday party today. Happy Birthday my sweetheart." I said kissing her.
Ben and Sops laughed at me when i picked her carefully without ruining my dress.
"What??"
"Now your mouth is full of chocolate." Ben said grinning. I laughed looking at Katie.
"Sammy, go upstairs to my room and freshen up. Ben..let's keep Keith there itself."
"Okay..i will change Katie's dress too." i said and we went to her room.
Ben assured me that he will take care of the kids. I went downstairs and joined Sophie and Kate.
"Where is Gerard and Nethan?"
"Ohh they both are doing the decorations." i saw them in the living room at the same time.
"Girlsss!!!!" we heard Ana calling. Only she could make such entry in loud voice. I went out and saw her with Jim.
"Ana!! Jim!!" i went towards them.
"How's soon to be momma and daddy?" i asked Ana who is two months pregnant now.
"I'm good." she said hugging me.
"No she's not..she scares the hell out of me when she cries all night feeling nauseatic." Jim said looking at me with horrible face.
"Jim!!" Ana punched him playfully.
"Oww..that hurts..i was kidding sweetheart." he said winking at me.
I let out a laugh. They both are the best entertainers in our family.
We all started with the arrangements. Jim went to Sophie's room to help Ben with kids.
Soon, mom dad and other guests arrived.
We dressed Katie like angel with wings, tiera and star in her hand. She looked preety. Keith was looking at everyone recognizing some of them and smiling. All of our family was together here.
Katherine cut the cake and was playing with other kids. Niki and Nicholas were taking care of her. Keith was busy with both his grand parents and aunt Susie. I thought how quickly the kids grow up as i see them. After few hours every guest left except for our family and close friends. Now they were unpacking the gifts one by one. I stood near a corner looking at them..
"Sam..." Ben came near me.
"You need anything?" i asked him.
"No..."
"Just thinking what's in your mind." he asked keeping a hand on my shoulder.
"Nothing Ben, just admiring the view. All of our loved ones together."
"Hmm...this is our family." he said.
"Yes it is...I just pray to god we all be together forever."
"Amen.." he said and i smiled nodding.
