Those Blue Eyes

Chap. 75: Thank You

(Picture of Savannah Taylor Above)

Savannah grabs the dandelion in Evan's hands, the white fluff floating away. She giggles at him, scrunching up her nose happily. Evan grabs her and kisses her cheek, Savannah squealing with joy, pulling her up as he rises to his feet. He props her on his hip, walking her over to her swing set. Her little curls bounce as they walk, she grabs a small handful of her father's blue sweater and turns to her mother taking a home video of them on the checkered picnic blanket. She waves at her, grinning from ear to ear.
Evan and Brooke has had their little Savannah for a week now. Everyday the little girl gets more and more attached to her biological parents. As if they had been together the entire time. Evan sets her at the top of the slide, the little girl giggling happily. Brooke can't help but smile. Savannah has her father's full bottom lip and his awkward smile.
"Are you ready, Sweetheart?" Evan says happily, lightly pushing his daughter down the slide. "Weeeeeeee!"
Savannah lets out a loud chuckle, clapping her hands. She runs across the backyard, Chase chasing her as she does so, to her mother. Brooke catches her before she falls, giggling happily as her daughter straightens herself up.
"Hey Babygirl!" Brooke kisses her daughters cheek, swatting Chase away as he tries to pull her little skirt down. "Chase, quit it you rascal!"
Evan half jogs, half walks over. He plops down beside is wife and daughter on the picnic blanket. He pants exhaustedly.
"Papa's a little tired." Evan motions to himself. "Mama's gonna have to give Papa a back massage."
Brooke chuckles, kissing her daughters cheek. "Babygirl, can you pick me a dandelion?"
Savannah runs over to the small weed patch of dandelions. Brooke lays beside Evan, his chest laying over hers as he props his elbow to support his head. He stares at Brooke happily.
"Baby?" He says to Brooke.
"Hmm?" Brooke hums.
Evan brushes her cheek, kissing her cheek happily. "Brooke Ellis Adams-Taylor, I love you so damn much."
Brooke looks up at him, biting her lip sexily. "Evan Robert Taylor, I love you more than you'll ever know."
Evan kisses her hand tenderly. He looks over his shoulder at Savannah, who is playing with Chase. He smirks.
"You know, I never thought that I would ever see a sight like that?" Evan kisses Brooke's belly, "I thought I would never find the right woman and have her give me babies."
"If it's a girl, I say we call her Joy. Joy Ellis Taylor."
Evan smirks. "And if it's a boy, Christopher Evan Taylor."
Brooke giggles, shaking her head. "I can't believe we're going to have two babies soon. Two! We just got one back."
Evan kisses his wife's small pregnant belly. She's 4 months pregnant. The small baby bump already starting to show. Evan kisses his wife's lips, his arm guarding her from the sunlight and his other hand holding her face to his. Savannah walks up, plopping down to her knees. She crawls on top of her mother's stomach, he hands on her chest. Brooke starts to pull away but Evan shoves his younger down his wife's throat. He chuckles as he does so. Savannah begins to lightly giggle.
"Mama!" Savannah calls out.
Chase runs up and licks Evan in the face. Both Brooke and Evan pull away, pushing Chase back as he jumps around. Evan pulls Brooke closer to him. Savannah lays between their stomachs, yawning. Her head cuddles into her father's stomach, her small bottom pushing against her mother's thighs. Evan and Brooke both rub their daughters head sweetly, looking back up at each other.
"She's a Daddy's girl." Brooke whispers to Evan.
Evan smirks. "Yeah. She is, isn't she?"
Brooke pecks his lips. "Thank you for making me a Mommy."
Evan brushes the hair out of Brooke's face, tears sweeping up in those blue eyes of his. "Thank you for giving me the life I always wanted but thought I wouldn't ever have."
