Third Person

Brad, Maddie and Lily sat on the couch as they watched tv. It wasn't very interesting, but right now there is nothing better to do. Brad and Maddie sat with Lily in between them, both of their legs supporting Lily's weight. Lily had a pacifier in her mouth and her little elephant toy in her hand. She's quiet now, earlier she had a tantrum because she couldn't go outside - it was raining. For some strange reason, whenever it rains, she's so fascinated by it. She would just stare at it for hours, so when she's in the car and it rains, it will calm her down. Brad and Maddie found this special little trait of hers adorable, however, they always wondered why she was so drawn to the rain. Maybe it's the sound it makes? Or the way it looks? Neither of them know.

Pip, the large; fluffy dog, lay asleep with her head on Brad's lap. She didn't wake, she slept quietly, that's if she doesn't start running in her sleep and whining. Which has happened a few times.

Out of boredom, Brad scrolled through his phone and came across three pictures in his camera roll that stood out to him. He had favourited them, so the pictures were stored in a favourites folder. He clicked on the folder and smiled when the pictures popped up on his screen. Maddie was too concentrated on the tv to know that Brad is on his phone. She was also half asleep. Brad clicked on the first picture - which was the picture he took of Pip and Lily a couple of days ago, the morning he and Lily spent a little bit of time together. In the picture, Lily was laughing and Pip had her face close to Lily's hand as she swayed her tail, as Brad can tell by the slight blur of the image.

Brad smiled at it and scrolled on to the next one - the picture that Maddie took at her parents' house the day before yesterday. Brad's heart fluttered at the picture, he glanced down at the angel that sat between the couple and smiled a wide smile before turning his attention back to the picture. Brad examined how pure and loving the picture is just looking at it. He could see the look Lily was giving him and it made him extremely happy. He thought to himself as he gazed at the picture - he knew how lucky he was to have such a little yet perfect family. He could not be happier.

Finally, Brad scrolled on to the next picture. His heart strings pulled even tighter at the image before him. Even tears came to his eyes at it. His breath caught in his throat and his heart beat increased just looking at it.

The day he proposed.

The fairy lights that were strung across the garden, the small stage that was set up for him and the boys to play, the lights that wrapped around the guitars, microphones and the drums, a small number of people stood each side of them; and most of all, Brad and Maddie in the middle of it all. The picture was taken from the side, with the stage in the background and Brad and Maddie in front of it on the grass. Brad was on one knee, a box that contained a ring in his shaky hands and a shocked looking Maddie who had her hands clasped over her mouth. Brad could see the tears in her eyes and her mouth hung open. Brad didn't realise he was crying until he jumped when a tear fell on to his phone screen.

Maddie looked at Brad, confused at why he jumped, and she instantly melted at the sight. Maddie's face turned soft, her eyebrows furrowed and her hand came to his beautiful face to wipe away the tears. Brad giggled at her concern and kissed her hand, making Maddie smile in return. Lily was oblivious to what was going on, she just just continued to watch the tv with a look of fascination.

"Why are you crying?" Maddie asked softly as she shuffled closer to him, but being careful of Lily, obviously. Brad laughed and wiped away the tears and cleared his throat.
