It's difficult to eat when I'm this happy.

Dinner is derailed a little, but soon, we're back at the table, ready to eat again. Except this time, I'm in Jasper's lap, unable to part with him quite yet.

Dinner is delicious, and the joy in my heart is so strong, radiating so deeply that it's hard to eat.

I am so full of love.

After dinner, we move to the sofa, and the boys head to the kitchen, offering to clean up after the meal. I hate to let Jasper go, but I'm happy to get to talk to my girls.

They curl up with me on the sofa, their arms around me as I'm smooshed in a sandwich between them.

"Congratulations, Ali," Rose whispers. Bella nods, gently touching my ring.

"I'm so happy for you two," she murmurs. I want to burst.

"I love you both," I cry, pulling my arms around them and tugging them closer. They giggle as we collapse in a pile together. "You two have to be my bridesmaids, of course. Can I do co-maids of honor?" I wonder.

Rose laughs. "Don't you remember? We made a plan that one night when we were drunk," she reminds us. Bella frowns.

"What plan?"

I laugh. "I remember. We were all going to rotate maid of honor duties. Bella was going to be Roses, I was going to be Bella's, and Rose was going to be mine," I recall.

Bella shrugs. "Yeah, okay, sounds good to me," she pauses. "When did we make this pact?"

Rose and I laugh. "I don't know, sometime last year, I think," Rose says, shaking her head.

"We make too many pacts," Bella mumbles, snuggling into my side.

I giggle.

"I think probably, but they've been pretty great," I point out. The girls nod. "In fact, should we make another one?" When the girls both frown, I grin and hold my hand out. "No matter where life takes us or what happens," I say, looking between them. "We'll always be there for each other. We're family."

The girls easily agree, sliding their hands on top of mine. It hasn't been the three of us in so long, I almost forgot how good it felt to be with them like this.

"Always," Bella agrees.

Rose smiles. "Forever."

Oh man, I'm just a fucking wreck over the girls time together! Their bond is so amazing and I'm just so into it!

See you tomorrow for one final Thanksgiving moment!
