Chapter 10—Coming Home to Love

(A few years later)

Theresa and Ethan have been married for six years. They have twin daughters, Isabella Pilar Bennett and Mackenzie Ann Bennett, who are 4 years old. Ethan is a lawyer with a local law firm, while Theresa has fulfilled her dream of being a designer, and works from home.

(Setting—Theresa is sitting on a porch swing, watching her daughters play)

"My life is so complete. I have Ethan, and now my two beautiful daughters. Can anything else bring me this much happiness?" She wonders to herself.

(Meanwhile...Ethan's office)

Ethan has finished his caseload for the day, and spots a picture of his family. He takes it in his hands. "Oh, how lucky I am. I have the most beautiful wife, and the greatest daughters a man could ever ask for. God, I can't wait to get home to them."

On his drive home, Ethan calls his wife. "Hey baby, just wanted to call and tell you I'm on my way home."

"Did you have a good day, honey?" Theresa asks.

"Yeah, it was productive. And now, I have my family to look forward to spending time with. I love you, Theresa."

"And I love you, Ethan."

Once Ethan is home, he is greeted by the most terrific sight: Watching his wife and his daughters play in the yard. He takes a moment to admire everything, and then spots his oldest daughter, Isabella, run to him.

"Daddy, you're home!!" Isabella jumps into Ethan's open arms, as they both laugh.

"Yeah, princess, daddy is home." He kisses his daughter on the cheek, and then takes Mackenzie into his arms. "Were you both good girls for mommy?"

"Yes, daddy! We and mommy played dolls, and then we went to see Grandma Ivy and Grandpa Sam! We ate cookies there!" The twins tell their father about their day, when he looks over at his beautiful wife.

"Hi, honey, welcome home." After Ethan puts the twins down, he takes his wife into his arms, and kisses her deeply.

"Have a good day?" Theresa asks.

"Yeah, but now my day is ten times better, because I've come home to love. Do you know how much I love you, and our girls?" Ethan asks as he holds Theresa close.

"Almost as much as I love you, Ethan Bennett. Fate brought us together again, and through all the trials and fun times, we made it to the present. My life couldn't be more complete as it is right at this moment. And it's all because of you, my love."

"I love you, Theresa Bennett."

"And I love you, Ethan Bennett."

They share a passionate kiss, and then proceed to play with their daughters. Once alone, they share the most magical night of their lives by making love to each other, and reflecting on their love. Theirs is a love that will never end.
