"Daddy's home, Daddy's home!", I heard from downstairs.
Cody and I had gotten married soon after he arrived back to work. We had our honeymoon in the Cayman Islands, and had the best time hanging out with all the locals. Three months later, I got told from my doctor that I was expecting. We couldn't have been happier, or so I thought. I soon found out that not only were we going to be blessed with one, but two little girls. We welcomed Chesney Parker Runnels and Halle Elizabeth Runnels into the world on July 23, two days after our first wedding anniversary. Shortly after, Cody had to return to work which was a dissapointment that was expected. My sister Casey flew down to help Georgia and I with the girls when he was gone. But little did we know, that Georgia's time was winding down to an end. A year ago on the 30th she died of brain cancer. After almost 15 months with helping hands around the house, I decided it was time that I take on the challenge all by myself. Sure, it was a tough job, but someone had to do it. Squeals of excitement broke me from my train of thought and back into the present. I made my way down the stairs only to see my husband being attacked by our little Princesses. Chesney was Princess One because she was older by a minute and a half, which left Princess Two to my little Halle. She was a mommy's girl, Chesney was going to be a wrestler like her daddy. As I tried to be as quiet as possible Chesney spotted me. "Mommy!"' she yelled. Cody looked up from the girls with a soft expression on his face. He placed both the girls down by his feet and slowly walked over to where I was standing at the bottom of the stairs. His arms wrapped around my tiny waist lovingly, so that kissing me would be much easier. Our lips touched gently only to be split by a second by a little voice below us. Halle. "Eww! Mommy and Daddy kiss-ed .", she said scrunching up her face in disgust. If only she could think like that forever, then Cody wouldn't get so stressed when she was home past her curfew. We looked at each other and, thinking the same thing, laughed. We made our way to the dining room where supper was waiting on us. Tonight we were having Cody's favorite: Chicken Cassarole with mashed potatoes, green beans, corn, fried okra, and homeade ice cream for dessert. A normal meal that I prepared for when he was coming home, it was our offical "Welcome Home" dinner. After, around fifteen minutes of talking and eating we made our way into the living room where we all cuddled up together to watch a movie. Dear John, my personal favorite. Hal and Ches didn't understand the concept of the movie, but they thought Channing was hott, so they sat on the floor and watched his every move silently. When I started crying, Cody looked over at me with somber eyes and wiped away every teardrop that fell from my eyes. He placed a gentle kiss on my lips and I layed my head on his shoulder in appreciation. "I love you Melonie.", he whispered into my ear. "Love you too Codes.", I replied simply. At that moment I realized that no matter how dramatic the last couple years had been I was where I was supposed to be and my life was absolutely perfect.
The End!(:
