They sat under a tree in Central Park. The picnic blanket spread out covered with the finger sandwiches, fresh fruit, and salads that Lindsay loved.
She watched 2 and a half year old Ethan as he chased after a butterfly. She turned her head in time to see Danny pull a bottle of wine out of the basket.
"I can't have that," she blurted out.
"Relax Montana, its cider," Danny said, but then stopped what he was doing, and looked at her, because his Montana couldn't pass up a good glass of wine unless…. "Why wouldn't you be able to have this if it was wine?"
He watched as a slow blush and smile crept across her face. He felt his face flush too, a smile spreading across his face, "Got somethin' to tell me, baby?"
"It really is Mother's Day," she smiled sheepishly at him, watching as he crawled across the food and blanket to get to her, keeping one eye on Ethan.
Kissing her, he gently pushed her back on the blanket, laying his hand on her belly, something he was only allowed to do when she wasn't aware of him doing it during her first pregnancy.
A cry of anguish brought them out of their romantic haze. They looked in Ethan's direction to assess the situation and both smiled brightly when they saw him stand up on his chubby legs from the kneeling position he had fallen in, and began giggling and chasing the butterfly again.
"We made a pretty great kid the first time, Montana," Danny said proudly, watching his son pick himself up, dust himself off and get back to it.
"We really, really did," Lindsay agreed, smiling proudly at her son.
She was taken by surprise when Danny hooked his hand around the back of her neck and kissed her again. Melting into the kiss, keeping one eye on Ethan, she opened her mouth to allow his tongue to stroke hers.
All the pain and suffering they went through to get to this spot, to this place in time wasn't what she pictured her life to be, but to have all this, it was worth it. By healing together and looking past the pain of Danny's guilt ridden infidelity, their future as a family was brighter than this warm spring day.
