Ryan is a no nonsense type of guy and isn't one to do the relationship thing, it's not his style.
He's more of a hit it and quit it type of guy; some label him as a bad boy, but he's just living life the way he wants to....
That is, until one day...
"It's been a hell of a ride, hasn't it." Ryan said as him and Valerie were sitting on the outside patio overlooking the view of the Eiffel Tower
"Yes, it sure has. It's one ride that I wouldn't trade for the world." She smiled
"Twenty nine years we've been together and my love for you grows stronger everyday."
"I can't believe it's been that long, it just seemed like yesterday I was walking down the aisle, saying yes to the man I love most or I could even go as far back as to when I knocked you on your ass at the gym." She laughed
"Oh, so you wanna bring that incident up? Well, it wouldn't be the first time you've knocked me off of my feet. You can still throw that ass in all of the right directions."
"Sex on the brain, classic Ryan." She chuckled
"It's not just about sex, it's about being with you and I couldn't imagine spending the rest of my days with no one else but you. I'm happy to call you my wife, for all those long, hard years you've put up with me, I'm glad we still hung in there. I couldn't make it without you."
"I'm glad we hung in there too. We have an amazing family, six beautiful kids and they're all doing wonderful. Jeremiah in the NBA, Dylan in the NFL, Lilly's a nuclear physicist, the twins are manufacturing owners and Diana is an Olympic soccer player. I think we did pretty good."
"I think we have a winning combination, our genetics are unmatched."
"I don't know about all of that."
"What do you say? How about we make some more superstars?" He smiled
"You want more kids? After everything we've been through in the past twenty nine years, we finally got the last set out of the house less than five years ago and you want more?"
"If it's with you, I won't have any complaints. I'll do it all over again as long as we're together, that's all that counts." He said while holding on to her hand
"How about we wait on the grandkids to come, that way, we can still have time to ourselves."
"Deal and while we wait, I want to show you just how much you mean to me." He said as he went in to kiss her on the lips.
He then stood her up from the chair without breaking the kiss and picked her up and carried her to the bed. He climbed on top of her as she smoothly wrapped her legs around his waist. "I'll always love you." He said staring deep into her eyes
She caressed his cheeks with her thumbs as she kissed him back. "Forever and always, until the end." She whispered.

*Cue the Boyz 2 Men song, "And so we've come, to the end of the road. Still I can't let go..."
