Life Moves On
It was seven months later. Tyler was now a happy and healthy thirteen month old. He could walk and talk. He was a daddy's boy. Lily would still watch him while Nick worked.
During the day Nick played with Tyler and kept up with him. Tyler was very energetic and didn't stay still for long. Nick loved having Tyler around. He loved Tyler and he'd do anything for him.
Nick spoiled Tyler. If he was at the store and saw a toy he though Tyler would like, he'd buy it for him. So Tyler had a very large collection of toys.
For Tyler's birthday everyone from the team, Nick's parents, and Nick's brother were there. Adjusting to life with a one year old wasn't easy for Nick. He had to baby proof a lot. Baby gates were all over the house, the coffee table had rubber corners on it to protect Tyler, the cupboards had locks on them, and of course Nick's spare gun was in a lock box in his closet.
Sleep was a privilege for Nick now. When he got to Catherine's house to pick Tyler up, Tyler was wide awake. When they got home Tyler was running around the house and playing. But Nick didn't mind. He wouldn't trade his life for anything.
Nick was considering moving. He thought it would be best. He could get a bigger house. A place that more room for Tyler to run around, a place with a backyard.
But for now, he was happy where he was.
Note: here's the first chapter of the sequel. Chapters will get longer, especially now that school is out for the summer. Thanks to everyone who read my first story and for the support and reviews.
