Noon, he should be here soon. The three of us were headed to the park for a picnic

lunch. Molly sat on my lap as I read her a story. "Mommy, keep going" she

pushed. As I continued to read a knock on the door interrupted us. "Who is it?" I asked

setting Molly back on the ground. "It's me," he announced. I opened the door for him

"Hey you" Molly looked up at us "Do I have your permission miss Molly" he asked. She

nodded and he bent down to kiss me. "Lunch time?" she asked. "Yes Molly, lets go for

lunch". Each of us taking one of Molly's hands we began our walk to the park. Molly

turned to look at him "Will you help me on the monkey bars?" "Absolutely" he said

giving her his pinky. "Pinky swear" he assured her. She gladly took his pinky as we

continued on our way to the park. "What did you pack for lunch?" she asked "it's a

surprise," he answered. She turned to me for help "don't look at me, he packed it".

"Thanks for the help" he chuckled. "No problem". "Were here," she shouted as she ran

for the playground. "Molly" I shouted "come back and hold my hand". She held my hand

as we crossed the street. "Lunch first, then play," I told her. "Hey Molly" he said as we

sat down "I couldn't remember if you liked Peanut butter, or jelly. So I put them on the

same sandwich, is that okay?" He handed her a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. "Thank

you Dr.Carter" she mumbled before taking a large bite out of her sandwich. "Call me

John," he said. Her eyes widened "Mommy says not to call grown ups by their first

names, she says its not nice." He turned to me "well do you think we can make an

exception?" I nodded. "Okay then Molly, you'll call me John?" She nodded finishing the

last of her sandwich. "Swings?" she asked. As I opened my mouth to tell her to wait, he

got up. "I'll race you," I laughed as the two of them ran up the hill as I slowly followed

behind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Mommy look, I'm flying," she shouted as he pushed her on the swing. I

laughed as the swing slowed to a stop. "Come on Abby" he called. I shook my head, "I'll

watch from here." "Please mommy" she asked. Mimicking her puppy dog eyes he

reached for my hand, "Please?" I took his hand "If you insist." "Can we push mommy on

the swing?" she asked "No" I told her. "Sure" he replied. "Sit down my queen" he

chuckled. I playfully slapped him "you owe me one" I whispered. "Anything for you" he

whispered. I sat down on the swing, "Should we push you mommy?" she asked. "Why

don't I push both of you?" he suggested. "At the same time?" she asked her eyes wide

with wonder. "Yea, at the same time." She happily jumped onto the swing waiting to be

pushed. My push came first, small and gentle; hers was next, big and strong. "Hey,

mommy's higher" she shouted and was answered with another strong push. "Having

fun?" he asked. I nodded before jumping off the swing. "Your turn" I commanded

pointing to the swing. "Think you can push me?" he asked. "I think I can manage" I

replied before giving his swing is a small push. "Is that all you got?" I pushed again,

harder and higher. "Weakling" he teased, I pushed the swing harder this time. "Molly

could do better than that" Instead of pushing the swing I shoved his back and he fell off

the swing. "Still a weakling?" I asked "Yes" he said as I held out my hand to help him

up. Grabbing my hand he pulled me down with him. "You forgot about me," she shouted

as jumped on top of us. "Lets go home," I suggested. He lifted Molly into his arms "I

thought you'd never ask"
