Robert sat in a rocking chair it moving with the rhythm from the soft wind as he looked out from the patio to the grassy hills the pond to his left he hearing the rocks and the water fighting for the chance to get through the rough patch.

He though about his late husband suddenly after seeing the rocks. He then saw a memory replay it feeling so real.

" Robbie, I don't think you understand how I'm such a wiz at skipping rocks ", Jimmy gushed about himself as he looked over at Robert who rolled his eyes

" Think so? Show me then big strong man! ", Robert bent down and picked up a smooth stone handing it to Jimmy and crossed his arms

Jimmy blew on the rock for good luck and drew his arm back then threw it forward and it flew across and then he threw his arms around Robert.

Robert's eyes trailed to a lemon tree that was loudly making it's self know as it rustled against the strong winds and saw them two again, though this time it was a memory of their first date.

Jimmy had his hands over Robert's eyes he leading him to the young lemon tree where they'll celebrate their first date. Something about that tree made Jimmy have the feeling to set it up and has he took his hands away slowly Robert gasped.

Underneath was a blanket it having a handmade picnic basket ontop of it containing their special dinner and then leaning against the stump was Jimmy's acoustic guitar as Robert had tears in his eyes Jimmy pulled him down and pecked him softly on the lips.

Robert had tears stuck in his eyes thinking about his husband it being a year, since he died from old age. He tried to not think of it, but taking a look around made him hunger more memories to trigger.

Robert got up from his stance and headed towards the hillside where he saw another memory Robert trying to teach him how to ride a horse, which the outcome was terrible!

" So, I'm gonna help boost your body up onto the horse ", Robert instructed and Jimmy bit his lip it quivering at the thought

As Robert helped him Jimmy froze and started to cry all dramatic and flail around as Robert rolled his eyes

" Oh big baby! ", Robert replied ad he tried to hold in his laugh

As Robert stood on the hill he looked down at his acres of land below him and then saw different memories pop up like he saw when they found out that they were about to be parents the surrogate telling Jimmy and he surprising Robert.

As, Jimmy placed the phone down he jumped suspense as the lady responded, " You and Robert are fathers! ", he hung up and afterwards decided to try and think of a way to include nature into the announcement and so he decided to get rocks and spell it out.

As Robert took a day at the studio working Jimmy and Jonsey spent their free day arranging the rocks into saying, ' You're Going To Be A Dad ! ', and as it hit mid day they finished and about that time Robert was heading home, so Jimmy tried to hide his excitement and emotions from Robert.

" Baby, why are you acting so.. excited? ", Robert asked

Jimmy smirked, " Close you eyes, baby, " he ordered

As Jimmy took him to the message Robert started crying.

After seeing that memory he remembered how him and Jimmy raised their children on this farm and how special it would be to keep it after his death.

He thought about how special it meant to him and how so much happened from those years of growing old. So, as Robert headed back to his porch where his rocking chair sat rocking and beside his Jimmy's subsided they rocking in sync.

" I love you Jimmy ", Robert said before sitting back down where he was before
