Damn, I'm late.
"Toby come on honey we're going to be late!" I yell down the hall as I quickly grab my shoes and run down the stairs. Damn Derek and our comfortable bed, I find it harder to get out of each morning.
"Morning." Derek says as he hands me a cup of coffee, as I go to reach for it he pulls me against him and kisses me
"I don't have time for this I'm late. Molly has an appointment and I promised I'd cover for her." I say as I search our kitchen for my keys. It's been a few months since we bought our own home and it's perfect. Four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms an amazing kitchen and a cozy living room. The whole house has that comfortable, warm, country cottage vibe, which is the complete opposite of my last home and it's perfect.
"What's this?" Derek asks picking some papers off the counter
"Oh yeah, I'm looking into changing mine and Tobys names. Every time some one calls me 'Mrs Callahan' I hate it and I don't want Toby to be a Callahan anymore either, so I'm thinking of changing our surnames back to my maiden name." I explain as I finally find my keys and my purse
"I have a better idea." Derek says as he pulls me against him once more, I don't have time for this, but how can I resist him?
"What might that be?" I ask looking up at him
"Think about it, Sarah and Toby Lawson, you could be Mrs Lawson instead." He says looking up
"Derek..."
"I mean it Sarah, I want you to marry me and I want to adopt Toby, we're family and we should all have the same last name." He says before kissing me, before I can answer Toby comes running into the room
"Morning little one, you ready for today?" Derek asks as he swoops Toby into his arms and hangs him upside down, making him giggle loudly
"Yeah! I get to ride in the truck!" Toby says excitedly as Derek turns him upright
"Why don't you grab your bag and go out to the truck, I'll be there in a minute." Derek smiles handing Toby his car keys
"Ok dad." Toby says casually running off into the hall. I'm sure my mouth is hanging open as I look to Derek
"He just called you dad!" I whisper yell so Toby doesn't hear me making a big deal of it
"He did." Derek beams proudly "So, what I just talked about, what do you think?"
"Well, I think Toby is in dad, so I'm in too, Mrs Lawson, hmm, sounds good." I smile
"Well Mrs Lawson we'll see you for lunch." Derek smiles, pressing a quick kiss to my lips before following after Toby to the truck outside.
Life is better than I ever thought it would be. I finally have the love of my life back, my soul mate. My son, our son, loves him. Toby has his own room that doesn't have to stick to strict fashionable decor anymore and has a huge mural of dinosaurs. Toby gets to bond with his dad, oh boy I'm so excited to say that, while I work a job I really love. We also have our club family, who I feel closer to than ever, and now we have our own place I've returned the favour and Toby has had slumber parties with his friends in his own room, something he never would've been allowed before. I smile as I lock up our home and climb into my car to make the short drive to work.
"Morning Molly." I call as I step through the back door and hang up my purse and property cut, tying on my apron before heading for the kitchen.
"Morning." She sighs
"How's our boy doing?" I ask as she runs a hand over her little bump
"He keeps kicking my ribs, I barely slept last night." She pouts
"Well after your appointment go home and rest." She goes to protest but I hold my hand up
"I've got the recipes down, you've already done most of the baking for this morning any way and I want you to take it easy, because I can handle it."
"You're the best." She smiles before pulling me into a hug.
"Ok next one to throw a chicken nugget at me is going down!" I hear Derek yell as I close the front door behind me
"That's it!" I hear a chair scrape and I stop in the kitchen doorway watching the pile of bodies on the floor. Derek wrestles with Colt and Hunter as Diesel eats his food like nothing is happening and Lily cheers them on. I nearly drop my purse when I realise Toby is in there too. It was only a matter of months ago that Toby was terrified by the twins wrestling and now he's joining in. He laughs as Derek tickles his belly
"And what is going on in here?" I smirk as I survey the damage, nuggets, fries and ketchup cover the kitchen floor
"Mommy!" Toby runs to me and wraps his arms around my leg
"Are you having fun?" I ask and he nods, I look to Derek and smile.
"Oh my god I'm exhausted." I groan as I finally climb into bed.
"Yeah who's idea was it to have all four of Cordelias kids?" Derek says as he lays down beside me
"It's only fair, they have Toby all the time." I shrug
"I still don't know how they got ketchup on the roof." Derek says and I laugh.
"Did you see how happy Toby was though? I'd clean ketchup off the ceiling every day if it means seeing him that happy." I smile as I curl up against Derek
"Did you think about what we talked about this morning?" He asks as his lips brush my collar bone
"I did. I think Toby and I would love to be Lawsons." I reply and he smiles before his lips meet mine.
It may have taken a few years longer, but finally, I'm home.
