Thank you for reviewing
11 months away for a wedding really seemed like a good idea at the time. It seemed that it would give us plenty of time to plan one of the greatest days of our lives. For me the greatest day was Emma being born.
I turn around in the kitchen chair and see Chandler picking up our 3 year olds toys from the living room floor. He's so sweet.
"Chandler?"
He puts some stuffed animals in the toy bin and then he looked over at me. "Yeah?"
I ran my fingers over the design of my folder with wedding things in them. "I know we agreed to have a June wedding but….how do you feel about moving it closer?"
He gave me that cute crooked smile that he does so well. "Oh yeah? What made you change your mind?" He came over and sat next to me and I am able to smell his cologne. It is my favorite smell.
I rub his arm when he lays it across my leg. "The more I plan, the more excited I get about marrying you. Could we just have it a little earlier?"
He looks convinced. He isn't hard to make happy. That is one of the things I love about him. "I was thinking…a Valentines wedding."
I smile and he smiles back at me. I think he can see the excitement in my eyes. "I think that it sounds like a great idea." He leans over and kisses my forehead.
"Are you sure?" I want him to actually be happy with this. I don't want him to just say 'yes' because of me.
He nods. "Yes I think it's great."
I try to hold in my excitement but a little squeal comes out. "This is so great. We can be married in two months."
He reaches for me and pulls me into his arms. "I can't wait."
I quickly pull away from him. "Wait, can you get the honeymoon moved up?" We are going somewhere for two nights but Chandler won't tell me where it is that we are going.
"I'll call them and I will see what I can do about that." He smiles.
"Oh I am so happy about this." I tell him and we kiss.
"Eww."
Chandler and I both look up and see Emma standing near her bedroom door with her eyes closed. We both couldn't help but laugh. We may be biased but we have a pretty cute kid.
"You can open your eyes now honey." I tell Emma and she slowly opens her eyes to make sure.
"What are you doing up missy?" Chandler asks her.
Now that she knows we are no longer kissing, she walks over and gets in Chandler's lap. "I had a bad dream."
He smooth's the hair out of Emma's face. Her hair is always all over the place when she wakes up. "Do you want to talk about it with mommy and daddy?" I ask.
"I was swimming with my floatie to daddy and then I go underwater and I was stuck. It was scary." Emma frowns and looks up at Chandler. "You didn't save me daddy."
By the look on Chandler's face, I can tell that just made his heart break. It did for me too. As a parent, you always want your kids happy and healthy.
Chandler held Emma close like he never wanted to let her go. "I would save you. You know that, right?"
Emma laid her head on Chandler's chest. "I know daddy."
I smiled at them. Those two got very close very quickly. "Do you want to try going back to sleep baby?"
Emma started playing with the watch on Chandler's arm. "Can you come daddy?"
"Sure baby." He gave me a wink before bringing her to her bedroom.
I can't wait for Chandler to be a dad again. He is so good with Emma that I can't wait to watch him with our next one. The best part will be that this time, he will be here the entire time. He'll be here through the pregnancy, the birth and then when he or she is a baby. I can't wait.
"What are you thinking about babe?" Chandler asks when he comes back into the living room.
"You."
There he is with that cute half smile again.
"Good answer." He smirks and pulls me into his arms again.
I laugh.
I can feel him rubbing my thigh and I just melt into his arms. He really knows how to relax me.
"Do you like this apartment?"
I can feel him nod against my head. "Yeah, it's perfect for just the three of us."
"Yeah." I say as I play with his shirt buttons. "It won't be that way forever though."
He doesn't say anything for a moment. "Mon, is that your way of telling me that you're pregnant?"
I can feel his heart beating faster.
I smile. "No but I do want more with you. We made such a great kid without trying. I would like to make more but actually trying for them.
He laughs. "Yeah, I have thought about that."
I look at him quizzically. That is the first time that I have heard him say that. "You think about that stuff?"
His hands are now going slowly through my hair. "All the time."
I think that at this very moment I may love him a little more. If that is possible. "What kind of stuff do you think about?"
"The future. Like, although I love your apartment, I want Emma to grow up in the suburbs. That way she'll be able to ride her bike, play in the backyard and we'll have a house that we actually own. We could have a cat since Emma loves them so much."
I kiss his chest and then look back at him. "I think that sounds perfect."
He traces his finger along my back. "And I want four kids. Two boys, two girls. But you're the one that has to go through all the pain so-."
I cut him off from talking by pressing my lips against his. "Four kids sounds perfect."
He smiles and kisses me back.
I love this man.
