Chapter 1

CPOV

I'm sitting in my office at home trying to get some work done before Ana and I go out for dinner tonight for our wedding anniversary. We've been married for 17 years today and it feels just like yesterday we were pledging our love to each other in front of our family and friends. I'm constantly being interrupted however by the noises of our children.

Daniel is our youngest who will turn 10 in October and be starting fifth grade in September. Ana and I tried for almost two years before she fell pregnant with him and he's such a little firecracker. I would have liked one more after him but Ana had such a rough pregnancy with him that after she had him she said no more that she couldn't do it again and that he was it. He and I spend a lot of time together outdoors and I know he enjoys our one on one time as much as I do.

Phoebe is our middle child and I can currently hear Ana arguing with her. She is about to turn 14 and start her freshman year of high school in the fall. Phoebe is wanting to have friends over this weekend to swim in the pool and I can hear Ana arguing with her about the list of people she wants to invite. A list that includes a boy from her school that she likes. I think she's way too young to even be thinking about boys much less having a boyfriend but Ana seems to have no problems with this because when Teddy was going into high school we let him invite girls over to swim in the pool.

Then of course there is Teddy our eldest who turned 16 in May and will go into his junior year in the fall. He looks so much like I did at his age that it's no wonder girls are always staring at him but he seems to only have eyes for one girl, Sofie. He and Sofie have been together for about six months now. I know his mother is happy that he isn't out with a different girl every weekend and we both like his girlfriend well enough she's a nice polite girl and we enjoy having her over for dinner.

I'm suddenly interrupted again by a knock on my door and this time it is my eldest son.

"Teddy what can I do for you?" I ask him as he makes his way into my office and takes a seat in front of my desk.

"Dad I know you're getting ready to go out with mom shortly but I was wondering if I could talk to you about something." Teddy says and runs his hands through his hair just like I do a tell tale sign that he is nervous about something.

"Okay what do you want to talk about?" I ask him.

"Well do you remember when you gave me all those sex talks and told me when I was ready to come and talk to you? Well here I am talking to you. As you know Sofie and I have been together for six months now and we love each other and we've been talking about it and we would like to take our relationship to the next level so I was wondering if she could stay over tomorrow night after we go out for dinner?" He says with his voice full of nerves but clearly trying to be confident as he makes this request.

I sit there silent for a moment trying to think about what I am going to say. He just told me he loves this girl and wants to have sex with her. On one hand I applaud him coming to ask because at his age I certainly would not have asked my parents if my girlfriend could stay over knowing full well what we were going to be doing but on the other hand I don't know how I feel about him having sex under my roof. I guess it beats them sneaking around behind my back.

"Okay. She can stay over tomorrow night on the condition that her father knows she's staying here. I appreciate you coming to talk to me and being honest about it and not sneaking around behind our backs but I wont encourage you doing that to Sofie's dad. As long as he knows she's staying over then I have no problem with this. Now the other thing is do you have condoms?" I ask.

"Yes I do have a box in my room that I got after Sofie and I started going out." He replies as his face heats up with embarrassment.

"Right well they better get used then because I don't want you coming home and telling us that you got that girl pregnant do you hear me Teddy?" I sat to him looking him in the eyes so he can see just how serious I am about this.

"Yes dad I hear you. Are you going to tell mum about this?" He asks me after a slight pause.

"Of course I am. Your mother and I don't keep secrets from each other and she's going to know tomorrow night when Sofie stays here and goes up to your room with you." I tell him.

"Yeah I just don't want her to be mad at me that I'm having sex because I know how much she hates the fact that we're all getting older and growing up." He says to me.

"Look don't worry about your mother I will take care of her but you have to understand that it is hard for the both of us to see you kids growing up and doing adult things. You're going to be starting to think about colleges this year and that's scary for both of us." I explain to him.

"Okay thanks again dad for being so cool about this." He says as he stands and gets ready to leave my office.

"I'm just glad you're being honest with me and not sneaking around. Remember what I said though tell her father and I will be calling him to make sure that he knows where his daughter will be staying tomorrow night and making sure that he is okay with it. And make sure you wrap it up." I say as he leaves.

"Yes dad." He replies.

I sit back in my chair and think about what my son just told me. It's hard to believe he is 16 years old and going to be having sex with his girlfriend. Granted there isn't much I can say considering I was barely 15 years old when I lost my virginity and it was to someone I certainly didn't love but I am surprised that he waited this long. I know Ana would love for all of our kids to wait until they're older but Teddy being 16 doesn't worry me that much. If it was Phoebe that would be a different story. I guess the thing that worries me is that Teddy says he loves her and granted I loved Ana the moment I laid eyes on her but is he too young to know what love is? I just hope he doesn't make any mistakes and gets himself into a situation that will affect him for the rest of his life.
