A:N I just want to thank my awesome beta Josiane and wish you all a Happy Ship Day
Dad again
I can't believe it. I look into my son's face, and I can't believe I'm here again: I have a son again. I'd never thought I'd have a family again. But I do: my wife, my daughter and now my son. He's so beautiful, he looks just like Sam, the fluffy hair he has is blonde just like hers.
I look over at my tired wife as she lies in the infirmary bed, hugging our two year old daughter. I catch her eyes and I can see the love and happiness there, and I feel a rush of love and gratitude towards her; I love her so much. She's given me everything; a family, a second chance. My second chance. My two beautiful children.
But then, how could they not be beautiful, they look so much like her, Gracie has her mother's smile, the one that lights up the room, and when Jacob opens his eyes I can see Sam's brilliant blue eyes staring back at me.
I can't believe how lucky I am to get this second chance: A second chance at a family, at happiness, at a life. And all because of her. But then again I also kinda think that Jacob had something to do with it too. Thank god he was on our side or I could have lost her forever, lost everything. But Dad had just wanted Sam to be happy, to be loved, and for some crazy reason that made no sense to me – still makes no sense to me - making Sam happy involved her marrying me; can't say I'm complaining about that. It's been over 6 years since Dad gave us that advice, since then I've been happier than I ever thought I could be again. Cliché I know, I hate clichés, except maybe where Sam's concerned; but then she's my everything.
