Barbara sighed as she looked in a photo album. She ran her paw over the pictures that the book held on its pages. She couldn't help but laugh at the pictures. Stewie had given her and Brian the pictures he took that night they got drunk at the Quahog Cabana Club. Even though she had no memory of what happened that night, she still kept them as a reminder of one of the best nights of her life.
"Mom?"
Barbara looked up to see the puppies standing at the door. She smiled and patted the spot beside her on the bed.
"What are you looking at?" Marcus asked as they sat by her.
"Just pictures", she answered. "Of me and your dad."
Barbara flipped the pages, hiding the drunken photos of them. She flipped the pages of the book, showing them other pictures that she felt the kids could see. The puppies looked at the pictures with smiles and wide eyes, never having seen them before.
"What's that one?" Briana asked pointing.
The puppies looked at the picture seeing Brian and Barbara standing together. Brian was fastening a collar around her neck with a smile.
"Oh, that", Barbara smiled. "That was the night I was adopted into the family. That was also the night your father asked me to marry him."
"How long did you and Dad know each other before you got married?" Ollie asked.
"About a couple of months or so", she answered.
"A couple of months?" Jenny asked. "That seems a little early if you think about it."
"I know, but your dad and I loved each other. Your dad popped the question and I accepted."
The puppies looked at her with a smile and turned the page, looking at more pictures. Barbara smiled and gently touched the pictures of Brian.
"What's that one, Mom?" Jenny asked pointing to one.
They looked at the picture seeing Barbara kissing Brian's cheek and him standing looking shocked with big wide eyes. She giggled and touched it.
"That was your father and me going out on our first date", she said. "Stewie took this picture and I was just being silly and wanted to make it memorable."
The puppies laughed and looked her. Their mother sure was goofy before they were born. Barbara showed them pictures of the wedding. Barbara wearing an ivory dress, Brian wearing a black suit. The family looked so happy for them. Tears came to Barbara's eyes as she looked at the picture of her and Brian taking their first kiss as husband and wife.
"Are you okay, Mom?" Briana asked.
"Yeah", Barbara answered. "Just feeling a little heartache."
She pulled the picture off the page and held it close to her heart as she shed a few tears.
