Berkeleys POV

"Mommy..." "Mommy!!" I heard a yellish whisper. "Andrew honey what's wrong?" "I had a nightmare." He said. I patted the bed for him to climb in. He got under the covers between me and Brixton. He was really getting too old for this but at the same time I thought it was nice. Brixton turned and put his arm around both of us. With the two older ones out of the house it was kinda quiet. I wasn't use to the house being almost completely empty. Now I know how mom and dad felt when we moved out. I closed my eyes and went to sleep.

Andrews POV

I woke up and daddy wasn't in bed. I walked downstairs and smelled something yummy. "Good morning Andrew." "Good morning, May I please have some grape juice."

Brixtons POV

"Yea sure buddy." I said. I poured Andrew some grape juice and handed him the cup. He drank about half of it before setting it down. "Hey how about you go wake up mommy." I said. He nodded and ran upstairs. A few moments later I heard two sets of footsteps coming down the stairs. "Good morning my beautiful wife." I said. "Morning." Berkeley said very sleepily. She took over with cooking. I put my arms around her waist and swayed. "You know i love you right?" "And I love you too Brixton more than anything." She said. I kissed her cheek. I then walked over to Andrew. "Hey how about we go to the park today?" "Yea!" He said in excitement. All three of us ate breakfast and went to the park. Andrew ran around for a good two hours before he finally ran out of energy. I put him in his car seat and got in the drivers side. I grabbed Berkeleys hand as I drove. "So I was thinking maybe we could go to the old hill top since tonight is our 23 anniversary." I said. "Yea that sound nice." She said. I smiled. It had been forever since we went there. I dropped Andrew off at Uncle Billie's place. We went home to get changed. We then proceeded to go to the hill top that me and Berkeley went to multiple times in our youth and where I proposed to her. We sat down and looked at the stars. "Have you ever wondered how many there are?" "No but I know that you're one of them." I said. Berkeley laid her head on my chest. "Happy anniversary babe." "Happy anniversary Berkeley." I said.

Two months later

Berkeleys POV

Andrew was running towards the stairs with his shoes untied. "Andrew honey don't do that." As soon as I said that he tripped at the edge of the very first step. My motherly instinct kicked in and I raced over to him before he hit the ground. "Oh my God! Andrew are you ok sweetheart!?!" "I'm ok mommy." He said. I put my hand on the back of his head. "Thanks God you're safe." I said. I tied his shoes and he carefully walked down the stairs. It's in times like those that you appreciate the mom instinct. It's kinda like a spider sense only I protect my kids. Jakob and Allison are doing pretty well. Allison is now two months into her pregnancy. They were excited. I was excited. My brother was finally giving me a niece or nephew. I walked downstairs to see Andrew watching Spongebob. I remember that show as a kid. I walked over to Brixton. I kissed his cheek. I sat down next to Andrew. God I forgot how annoying Spongebob really was but if it made him happy it made me happy. "Hey Andrew how would you like to go around the world with me and grandpa?" "That sounds awesome!" He said. "I'll take that as a yes." I said. I kissed the top of his head. Brixton came and sat beside me. "So we're on the road again?" "Yep on the road again." I said.
