Six months later...
QUEN'S POV
I hated clowns. I think I hated them because of Stephen King. Kent knew damn well of my disdain for them yet a half of a dozen pranced around our backyard for the twins second birthday.
There were about thirty kids aged two to five having the times of their lives. Bianca and Kent had enrolled the boys in daycare to socialize and these little hellions...I mean darlings, were the boys' friends.
I had been put on animal duty. The kids were able to pet, ride or feed our animals and I was to ensure no one got hurt or bit. Our animals weren't used to kids so it was an important job.
From my seated position I watched my beautiful wife bounce our daughter on her knee while chatting with the mother of a boy stuffing his third slice of cake in his mouth. Gia stole a peek in my direction and flashed a pretty smile. I couldn't help but smile back.
I still couldn't believe how beautiful our daughter was. Two women had my heart forever.
Ara was the perfect baby; only fussy when she was hungry or had a soiled diaper. And I couldn't have picked a better mother for my daughter. Gia and Ara had a bond that was amazing.
Don't get me wrong, she loved her daddy too. I made sure to dote on her every chance I get.
The party goes on for another two hours before kids throwing up pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers cake and ice cream ends the festivities. Thank GOD!
I help Kent and my uncle clear out the guests. Gia and Bianca take our four children inside before returning to help with clean up.
"Is Ara asleep?" I ask Gia when she approaches me for a hug.
She nods. "The boys are too. I think the party pooped them all out."
I wrap my wife up in my arms and kiss her forehead. We rock for a moment in our embrace before Bianca clears her throat.
"Four extra hands would be really helpful right now!"
I then hear Charlie chastise her daughter-in-law. "We wouldn't be knee deep in trash, decorations and vomit if we would've gone with my idea for the boys' party. We're having Charles's 1st party at Chuck-E-Cheese!"
I held back my laughter and noticed Gia was doing the same. The six of us had the backyard cleaned in no time.
Gia and I were sweating as she dragged me to our bedroom. She told me to undress and meet her in our bathroom. I watch her sashay to our bathroom. I hear water running shortly after.
I quickly pull off my clothes and walk into the bathroom. Gia is naked as well and is sitting on the edge of out garden tub. She wiggles her finger for me.
Once I am before her she pulls me down and connects her lips to mine. One thing I can say is that if all my wife did was kiss me I would be a happy husband!
The tub was half full when Gia pulled away from me. She stopped the water flow, climbed in and motioned for me to get in between her legs. I do so and lay my back against her chest.
I am content as my wife runs her hands up and down my chest. Her lips peck at the skin of my neck. She whispers that she loves me, turning me on to the point of agony.
"Gia, I love you with every fiber of my being. You and Ara have brought me so much joy. How can I ever repay you for all you have done?"
"When God blesses us his only request for repayment is to our time, devotion and praise. You provide that to me unconditionally and I thank you so much for being the husband I need, the father my daughter deserves and just for being the awesome man that the world should take heed to."
I can't stop the tears that flow at her words. Just when I thought my love for this woman had reached its peak, she goes and says something like this to remind me why I choose her to be my one and only.
