I woke up the next morning to the sound of a child's laughter.

I got up and put my robe on and headed downstairs.

I walked outside and saw phil and Scott playing with Maddie.

"Swing me uncle Scott."

"Ok peanut. Ready."

I watched Scott lift Maddie over his head. I smiled when I heard Maddie let out a loud cry of laughter.

I walked down the steps to the yard.

Scott saw me and came jogging over to me.

"Hey there sleepy head." Scott said with a very giggly Maddie on his shoulders.

"Hi Scott. Looks like you've got something on your shoulders."

"Yeah I know and I can't seem to get it off." he said shaking Maddie making her laugh more.

"Uncle Scott I can't come off your shoulders."

Scott smiled and started to run around with Maddie. I looked and saw Phil smiling at me.

"Morning." Phil said kissing my cheek.

"Good morning."

"Did you sleep ok."

"Yeah I slept great. I slept so great I almost forgot where I was."

Phil took my hand and we walked over to a bench.

"So what do you wanna do today." He said putting his arm around me.

"Oh I don't know what do you have planned for us."

"Well I was thinking we could go for a walk in the park."

"That sounds amazing. I'll go upstairs and get changed."

I gave Phil a kiss on the cheek and headed upstairs to get dressed.

After I got dressed I headed downstairs to the living room and saw Phil waiting for me at the bottom of the stairs.

"Wow you look to good to go for a walk in the park."

All I could do was smile.

Phil helped me put on my coat and we headed out for our walk.

Walking through the park with phil was amazing the tree's were all decorated for Christmas and the views from the park were breathing taking.

"Hey will you do me a favor."

"Sure phil."

"Will you close your eyes."

"Why do you want me to close my eyes."

"It's a surprise."

"Ok."

I did what he asked me and I closed my eyes. I felt him grab my hands and walk me to something what that was I didn't know. We didn't walk long I could feel him let go of my hands and get behind me.

"Ok open your eyes."

When I opened my eyes there was a gorgeous picnic set up for us.

"Oh phil this is so gorgeous."

Phil smiled. We walked over to the blanket and sat down. Phil pulled out a thermos.

The view was outstanding.

"This view is amazing phil."

"Yeah I use to come here a lot." he said handing me a cup of hot coco.

"Yeah I come here a lot to think and just get away from everyday life sometimes."

"Did you spend anytime here when Monica died."

"Yeah I think I spent everyday here after she passed away. I don't know why but I felt closer to her. When Maddie was a year old I brought her up here and we tossed a white rose into the river."

I placed my hand on phil's and looked into his eyes.

He took my cup from me and then he leaned in and kissed me. There was something different about this kiss it was more passionate and tender then all the other's.

Then things started to get more passionate. Phil pulled me close to him and to my surprise I wasn't backing away. The feel of his hands on my body felt good it felt really really good. Before I knew it phil's lips were on my neck and I welcomed it.

But suddenly I pulled away.

"Phil wait." I said putting my hands on his chest.

"What's wrong."

"I'm not ready for this. Everything just feels like it's moving so fast. You must hate me for this."

"Hey I could never hate you. If anyone should be sorry it's me I didn't mean to pressure you into something your not ready for."

I smiled and kissed him.

After we kissed he held me.

In my heart I wanted to more forward but my head kept screaming that it was to soon.

I just hoped when I was ready Phil would still be there.
