The blue Hyundai popped out of the kudzu laden woods of Florida. Mike, who sat shot gun, talked to Fiona, who was in the back, about a new angle. Sam sat behind the wheel, off in his own world. In a world of Mojitos and hot babes. The passenger slammed the air vent, making the driver jump. "Quit hogging all the AC, Sam!" hissed Mike. It was sweltering summers day in Florida. "Me and Fi are dying."
"Do you two mind if I make a little pit stop?" asked Sam, slowing the car down after turning on a new street. They had come to a block of colorful little homes. Very cute, very family looking. Mike and Fiona looked at each other and shrugged. They guessed. Sam jerked the wheel, steering the car into the driveway of a brightly painted home.
Again, Mike and Fiona looked at each other. Where we they? "Is this Sam's house?" Fiona's eyes seemed to ask Mike. He shrugged as Sam got out of the car and hurried to the trunk behind them. Mike answered Fiona's question with his eyes. "I think so?"
The two craned their neck to see Taylor and Celine Axe on the porch. Celine carried around a ball that was far to big for her three year old frame as Taylor sat in a chair, watching her. Yup. The Axe homestead. Mike and Fiona could see what Sam had gotten from the trunk. A stuffed rabbit and chocolate bunny. Taylor grew a smile when she Sam walk up to them.
"Hey, Celine you won't believe who I ran into today," said Sam. Celine turned and looked up at her daddy. "He gave me something to give the most beautiful princess in all of Florida."
They watched as Sam kneeled to the hot pavement, showing the little girl the bunnies. She grew a smile and jumped up and down. Taylor nudged Celine's back with her foot. "Wow, my daughter is the most beautiful princess in all of Florida," smirked Taylor.
Sam gave his daughter the Easter gifts. She went running to the car to show Mike and Fiona the bunnies. Sam grabbed Taylor's hands and kissed one of them. "Not surprising when my wife is the most beautiful in all the world," he said.
Taylor craned around to see if Celine was distracted. Her daughter was. "My turn to give you my Easter gift," she said. Sam leaned back. He had no idea they were giving gifts! Sam only gave his daughter the gifts because he could. Taylor reached up and kissed him. "I just hope your gift will be the most handsome prince or another most beautiful princess in Florida."
It took a few moments for Sam to get what she meant. A wide grin beamed across his stubbled face as he picked Taylor up and spun her around, planting a kiss on her lips. "I took the test today," said Taylor. "I go to the doctors tomorrow."
