I reached for the blue and white floral blanket that sat in the hall closet. I giggled as Ava ran past and Mike laughed as he chased her through the hallway.

"Save your energy for after lunch!" I called after them as Ava shrieked and giggled as she slid across the kitchen tiles and sent herself flying into the sofa.

We had decided to go out for a picnic lunch and Mike was supposed to be buckling Ava into the car, but he was now chasing her around the house.

The twins were both swaddled in their blankets, they were still fairly young, only 4 weeks old, and they were just learning to smile and keep their eyes open. Mike came back in after helping Ava into the car and grabbed Elizabeth in her carrier in one arm and the picnic basket in the other.

He smiled and walked over to give me a kiss on the forehead as I smiled and picked up jack and the blanket.

After all these years, I still melt over Mike Wheeler.

I sat under a maple tree in the soft grass cradling Elizabeth in my arms rocking her back in fourth. Jack lay sleeping behind me under the shade of the array of leaves in branches that protected us from the sun.

The crickets chirped as they sang their own songs from between the tall blades of grass that covered the valley of where we had eaten lunch.

Mike had taken off with Ava, chasing her as she ran through the tall grass laughing as her brown hair tied back in pigtails bobbed behind her. She screamed with joy as Mike came running behind her pretending to be a scary monster chasing the princess, something that Mike could never be, even if he tried.

As he caught up to her, she giggled and screeched and then turned back around to face him. Mike smiled and squatted down and opened up his arms wide trying to entice her to him, and of course, it would work.

I laughed as Ava came barreling back towards Mike laughing and when she eventually got to him she propelled herself into him, her arms wrapping around his strong shoulders, causing him to lose his balance. He hit the ground and laughed as our daughter buried her head into his chest.

I smiled at the both of them rolling around in the grass, the setting summer sun casting a warm and ethereal glow on the two of them.

Mike wrapped his strong arms around her as he sat back up and shook his head vigorously back and forth trying to shake the bits of drying grass from his raven locks. Ava giggled as she plucked a long strand of grass from his hair.

In my arms, Ava began to quietly fuss and then her whimpers broke out into cries as she awoke from her slumber.

"Shhhhh, shhhh," I whispered quietly to her and began rocking her back in my arms pressing her closer to my chest.

"Did you have a nightmare?" I hummed to her quietly as her cries subdued.

"It's alright, I have nightmares too," I smiled sadly as her small strong hand gripped onto my ring finger.

"But one day, I'll explain it to you, what they are, why they came, and why they won't ever go away," I smiled and brushed away a lone tear from the corner of my eye, "but I'll tell you how I got through it," I rocked her still, and tried to flash a small smile.

"I make a list, a list of all the good things that I have in life, like you, your brother and your sister, and of course your daddy," I smiled and looked up at how Mike had Ava on his shoulders and both of them were adventuring through the grass and trees.

"All the good things that I can remember, and sometimes it can be a little strange, to turn your mind upside down trying to conjure up all your good memories just to fight away one, but stranger things have happened."
