'To think that my life would be where it is right now.' Reggie thought to herself.
Yes, Reggie Rocket was now married with an adorable 5-year-old son, Lucas. Lucas was also interested in skateboarding, hockey, and surfing, just like she was whens he was younger. Lucas was even hoping to be like his uncle one day. Reggie knocked on Lucas' door and caught him watching skateboarding videos on his iPad mini. She smiled at him. Lucas found his mom watching him and ran into bed.
"Lucas, it's time for bed. You need to shut the iPad off." Reggie said walking into her son's room.
"Sorry, mommy. I was looking at skateboard videos." Lucas said with an innocent voice.
"I know. I was watching you." Reggie giggled. "I think that one day, you will become a pro."
"I want to be like Uncle Otto one day. He's my idol." Lucas said.
Reggie smiled. Lucas loved Otto and looked up to him. After all, Otto was Lucas' godfather. Otto often took his nephew skateboarding, even teaching him a few tricks. Lucas was already a child prodigy. It was the Rocket genes. Reggie tucked Lucas into bed and kissed him on the forehead.
"Mommy, when is daddy coming home?" Lucas asked.
"Hopefully very soon," Reggie replied.
Reggie was married to the one person she did not expect to fall in love with. That person was Lars Rodriguez. The same Lars who use to bully her friends when they were younger. Lars as in Twister's brother Lars. That was the guy she was now married too. Lars was currently a Marine and was in Japan at the moment. They talked almost every day through FaceTime, which Lucas loved because he got to see his father.
"I want to be like daddy when I grow up too," Lucas said with a smile on his face.
"You want to be a skateboarding Marine?" Reggie giggled.
"Yes! Like daddy and Uncle Otto!" Lucas said.
"I think you will be an awesome skateboarding Marine," Reggie said.
"Mommy," Lucas started, "how did you and daddy meet?"
"You know the story, silly." Reggie chortled.
"Yeah...but I forgot..." Lucas was looking off to the side, looking all innocent.
"No, you didn't." Reggie giggled. "But it's okay. I will tell you as many times as you want."
Lucas smiled, and Reggie started the story. He had a missing tooth, which made him look ten times more adorable. Lucas was an exact splitting image of Lars when he was younger.
"Daddy and I weren't friends when we were younger," Reggie said. "In fact, he was the last person I wanted to be around because I thought he wasn't a nice person."
"But is he nice now?" Lucas said.
"Yes, he's nice now," Reggie said.
"How did you and daddy fall in love?" Lucas asked.
Reggie smiled and said, "Let's just say...it all started around the time of my 18th birthday...your grandpa was planning on throwing me a huge party after I objected to it several times. But it didn't stop him..."
