Take Me

Part Eleven.

Severn, Maryland:
Toni's House:

After the lunch date with Rita and David, Ken and Toni picked up Evan from Tara's house and went home.

"Mommy." Evan squealed. All three of them were in the living room cuddled up. Evan kept poking Toni's stomach.

"What is it?" Toni asked. Evan kept poking her stomach until he finally answered the question.

"Baby." Evan said. Ken laughed and turned on the television watching a football game.

"There's no baby in there yet. Don't worry, soon." Toni smiled. Evan smiled and sat back on the couch.

"We have one crazy kid." Ken laughed. He got up and went into the kitchen to get a bag of chips and sat back down.

"You know, I was thinking about my parents lately and how I haven't seen them at their grave in a while. Just for the support, can you come with me?" Toni asked.

"Yeah, I'll go with you. When do you want to go?" Ken asked. Toni looked at her watch and back to Ken.

"Right now." Toni said. Ken's eyes widen and he goes the keys to the car. Toni carried Evan into his car seat and strapped him up. The ride to the cemetery was forty minutes away. Ken grabbed Toni's hand and kissed it while he was driving.

"We're here." Ken said. Toni directed Ken to where Toni's parents were laid to rest. She started get a little emotional, but she got it together. Toni's parents were in the same plot.

"Mommy and Daddy, I miss you two so much. Your grandson Evan has a daddy now. His name is Kenneth Edmonds, and you would've loved him, ma. He's the most kindest man ever and he is so loving to Evan and I. Daddy, he treats me like a princess, just like you use to treat Mommy and I. I want you to know that I'm getting married, next year and I am missing you two so much because I would've loved to seen the looks on your faces. Tara is doing great and she's been taking care of Evan for me while I'm in school. My professor died and that was a major loss in my life. I want you to know that I think about you both every second of the day. I love you, Mommy and Daddy, so much." Toni cried while hugging their gravestone. Ken knelt down to Toni's level and she felt into his arms. Ken placed Evan down, and hugged her full on.

"Kenny, I miss them so much. Why did they have to go?" Toni cried. Ken had to be the comforter and stay strong.

"Everything happens for a reason, I promise you that I'll make you happy. I wish we could turn back the hands of time, so we can see them one last time." Ken said.

"I love you." Toni said.

"Love you mommy." Evan said.

"I love you too, baby." Toni said.

"I love you too, Tone." Ken said.
