Chapter Twelve
It's been ten years since the day Landon's mom and Jamie's dad bought them a house. They're still living in it now. Landon became a carpenter, so now the house has a lot more rooms. He made it larger so they could have kids' rooms. It took a lot of work on his part, but in the end it all worked out.
Jamie has had 3 kids in these years. Her first child was a little boy, that they named Jason. They had him about six months after moving into their new home. He is going to be 10 years old in one week. He's in Fifth grade.
Their next child was a little girl. They named her Molly. She just turned 7 not too long ago. She is in the Second grade.
Their youngest child, is a little girl named Emma. She is 2 years old. She's not in school yet, but soon she will be going to her first day of pre-school. Landon and Jamie aren't worried about that yet.
All of the children have their very own bedroom. Landon worked hard on the house to make his children happy. Jamie smiles all the time still, and their love hasn't faded away. It will remain the same forever, never getting old. Landon, of course, is a carpenter, and Jamie went to college for four years after Jason was born to become a lawyer. Jamie, a lawyer? I know it's very hard to believe, but that's what she became.
Now let's join them in the kitchen.
"Landon, I love you." Jamie said, suddenly, while Landon played with little Emma.
He looked up at Jamie. "I love you too, sweetie." He walked over and gave her a kiss. "Are you feeling extra romantic?"
"Oh, I guess. I just realized all the help you've been for the past 10 years. I don't think I would be able to raise even one child without you."
Landon looked at her and smiled. He was about to say something, but then decided to say something else. "Jamie! Where is Jason?"
"He's at a friend's house."
"Oh. Sorry, I still freak out when I don't see him. I'm so used to my only son being around, and now he's always with his friends."
"Landon, he always went outside to play with them. Since he was about 4."
"Well I'm still not used to it."
Jamie shook her head smiling. Julie was also outside playing. Jamie wouldn't admit it, but she hadn't got used to either of them playing outside. She was always afraid they would get hurt. She wasn't paranoid, she just loved them so much.
"Jamie, I'm so happy to have you. You are the love of my life. I never want to lose you again. If you died tomorrow, I would want to die today, so I wouldn't have to spend one day without you. If you died a month from now, I'd want to die a month minus one. I love you. I love you so much." He put his arms around her and hugged her so warm, and gently. Jamie looked like she was about to cry.
"Oh Landon. I love you too. I want to die with you. I don't want either of us to spend a day without each other. You are amazing. You're always complimenting me and telling me everything will be okay. And I believe you. Everything is okay now that I have you. Even If we've been together for more than 10 years, every time we're together feels like the first. I love you more than I could ever say with words." She said as they still were in each other's embrace.
Soon, Landon continued to play with Emma, and Jamie started making dinner for the family of five. When Emma was tired of playing, Landon decided he would clean up the table and set it, so that they could eat.
Once they were all sitting at the table, eating, Molly says, "Mommy, I don't want to eat my peas."
Landon replies, "Mommy made those peas. Your mom is the best cook in the world, and she would be devastated if you didn't eat them."
Right after Landon said that, all three children gobbled down their peas. Landon thought, 'Now that's love. That's what we all feel for each other. Even the most simple thing like eating your peas, is an act of love. I love each and every one of them.'
Jamie cut her meat and smiled. Jason took a big spoonful of potatoes. Molly had eaten all her peas. Emma had a messy face full of potatoes. And Landon was just sitting there, smiling and feeling blessed to have each and every one of them.
