One Year Later
Randy's Pov
It doesn't seem like a year ago that Adam died but it was. Alex and I are planning on taking the twins to the grave today we think it is a good idea for them to know their brother. The twins are huge now they are just learning how to walk the can take short steps but then they fall. Their vocabulary consists of mama,dada,baba,and no. I haven't spoken to my mother in about 8 months she started this huge argument with me and I haven't talked to her since the only thing that bothers me is that she hasn't seen her grandkids. My sister started dating Malcom the drummer from Alex's band. Things are good Alex and I are getting married in a church next month and everything is perfect.
"Rans are you ready to go" Alex asked me
"Yeah I am whenever you are" I replied
She came downstairs holding the twins and then she handed me Deacon.
"Hey buddy do you want to go for a ride in the car" I asked him.
He smiled at me and then stuck his thumb in his mouth. I took him out to the car and then Alex came out with Destiny.
"Dada" Destiny said holding her arms out to me.
"Ok sweety" I said as I took her from Alex.
I buckled her in her carseat and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
The car ride was silent except for the twins babbling to one another. The cemetary was about a half hour from our house and the weather was perfect. It was a perfect day in June. I can't believe my babies were no 13 months old I heard that kids grow up fast but I didn't believe it. We arrived and the I parked the car and grabbed Destiny from the backseat.
"Do you want to walk" I asked her. She nodded and I put her down but held tightly onto her hand. Alex opted to hold Deacon but put him down when we got to the grave. Alex brushed away the leaves and grass clippings that had managed to collect on the grave. We try to visit once a month but it's hard so we do it whenever we have some free time.
"Hey Adam" Alex said to the grave. "we brought your brother and sister with us today"
I bent down next to Alex.
"Hey son" I said a part of my heart always seemed empty when I looked at the grave but I know he is in a better palce and that Dave is watching out for him. The twins are a few feet away playing in the grass.
"I wish Adam was here to play with them" Alex said
"If Adam were here we wouldn't be here today" I said
She wacked me in the arm and then said "You know what I mean". I did know what she ment and I wanted the same thing.
"But think of it this way if Adam was born we wouldn't have the terrible twosome" I pointed out
Alex just rolled her eyes she was less than thrilled with the nickname I had given our children.
Author's Pov:
What Alex and Randy didn't know is that they were being watched. Danielle had been watching them carefully ever since Randy had had that fight with his mother. She watched the happy family leave the grave and then went over to see who's it was. She read the plaque Adam Michael Orton.
"This could be interesting" she said and then left also.
