"Alright... alright... yes Kelly. I'll be there bright and early... night."
Blake flipped his phone shut and sighed happily as he turned the ignition
to the van off. He had been at the track for the afternoon preparing for
the race he had tomorrow.
He opened the door to his dark house and shut it behind him. His helmet was placed in its rightful spot next to Tori's surfboard. It had been a long six months since he returned home.
His recovery was slow, but with Tori and the others' help, he was home living his life the way it should be.
A light could be seen at the top of the stairs and he softly walked up to find his bedroom door open. Looking inside he saw the sight in the world that made him thankful to be alive...
Tori was lying on her back, asleep, with his three month old son on her chest. A pacifier was in his mouth and he too was sleeping soundly. Blake made his way into the room and bent down to take his son.
Tori's left hand was resting on the baby's back and Blake carefully lifted it off the tiny body before lifting him into his arms. A large smile crossed his lips when he saw the ring on Tori's finger. It was almost an exact replica of the one he had gotten her before... before the plane crash.
Everything he had that day was lost...everything except his life... and for that he was eternally grateful.
Now, as he held his son in his arms and looked down on his new wife, he truly felt blessed for being brought back to them. He couldn't imagine his life any different than it was now.
He raced with Kelly and Hunter under his own terms and things kept getting better for everyone.
The baby opened his brown eyes and looked at Blake through sleepy blonde lashes. He looked like a miniature version of Blake, with the exception of his light hair and his skin was a bit lighter than Blake's as well.
"It's okay Kai... I got you," he whispered to him. They had decided to name him Kai, meaning 'ocean' for his mother. His middle name was Hunter after his Uncle.
Tori stirred on the bed and opened her eyes to find her husband and son walking around the room. She smiled at her two men and just watched as Blake walked around gently swinging their son into slumber.
She looked down at her hand and sighed happily. Their wedding was nearly two weeks ago, but she still felt like it was the first day. Everything was so perfect. She and Blake were wed on the beach with all their friends in attendance.
Blake had held Kai throughout the ceremony and together they were joined as a family. She looked over at Blake when she heard her son begin to whimper.
"He misses his mama," she said as she sat up. Blake turned around and smiled at her. He walked over and handed Kai back to her as he kissed her cheek.
"I did too," he said. Tori giggled and kissed him on the lips lightly. Kai almost instantly fell asleep again. She turned to Blake and smiled triumphantly. Blake hung his head in mock defeat. "You win."
Tori kissed him a little deeper than before and he placed a hand on her cheek. His thumb ran along her jaw. "I love you," he said.
She leaned her forehead against his. "I love you too," she replied. Blake leaned in and kissed her passionately. Tori broke away suddenly and rose from the bed. Blake laid down and watched as Tori walked out of the room and placed Kai in his bassinet. The door that connected the two rooms was left open a crack as Tori came back to Blake.
She climbed into bed with him and he held her close. Blake leaned over to his nightstand and turned the light out. They lay there softly kissing and caressing until they fell asleep in each other's arms...

AN: Thank you to all those that reviewed! I write these for you and you make me so happy!
Now I have a favor to ask of you all. I have received several requests for continuations on my stories, and I have decided to give the people what they want. But I need to know what story you would like to see a continuation of. Whichever story receives the most votes by JUNE 29, 2004 at MIDNIGHT will have a sequel written to it. Have fun and let me know!
