[days later]
Today was Michael's birthday and the day of his party.
"Wake up, baby boy!" Liz said as she gently shook the now 5 year old. Michael wimpered and sat up.
"Happy birthday, Michael," she said as the small boy rubbed his eyes with his hands. "Are you excited about your birthday party?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yep. All my friends are coming?" she asked.
"Their mommies and daddies said they were coming, but we'll see," she said. In truth, a lot of people had RSVP'd but some mothers were hesitant about letting their kids go to Liz's house because they knew that their kids would see all the toys and gifts Michael would be getting. They knew their own kids would start begging for the same thing. Liz knew that was one of the reasons for hesitance; the other reason was that the married women didn't their husbands taking their kids because Liz was a young, single, beautiful woman. She was walking temptation.
"Do I get presents?" Michael asked.
Liz chuckled. "You sure do. I have something very special for you. Do you want to know what it is?" she asked.
Michael grinned and nodded vigorously. "What is it?" he asked.
"It's a surprise. You can only find out after we get your bath. Then you have to eat breakfast and get dressed for your party," she said.
Faster than Liz would have expected, Michael jumped out of his bed and dragged Liz to the bathroom so he could take his bath.
Once his bath was done, Liz dressed him in some play clothes; he was wearing a pair of relaxed jeans and a Marvel t-shirt.
"Alright; go play while I get your sister up," she said. Michael nodded and went to the playroom.
An hour and a half later, Liz had cooked breakfast for her small family; Michael and Rebecca sat at the child size table while Liz sat at the kitchen bar. She watched them and smiled. She couldn't believe that she had given birth to Michael five years ago; and Rebecca six months after that. It had been a hectic five years for her, but it got easier as time went along.
Liz was brought from her thoughts when the doorbell rang. She checked the time and frowned; whoever it was, was about 4 hours early for the party.
She adjusted the robe she wore over her pajamas and looked through the glass of her door and saw that it was Randy. She sighed and opened the door.
"Hey, Randy. You're really early," she said.
He nodded. "Yeah, I know. I just wanted to sort of sit and talk to you for a bit," he said.
She smiled softly and opened the door wider so he could enter. He's going to find out eventually. Lis thought to herself. She stopped Randy from walking any further.
"I need to tell you something, Randy," she said seriously.
Randy shoved his hands in his pockets as a defense mechanism. "What is it?" he asked nervously.
"Do you remember the last time we saw each other? When the ambulance took me to the hospital in Chicago?" she asked.
He didn't have to think for long; he nodded.
"Well, that night I had to have an ultrasound to make sure Michael was okay. He was fine, but the doctors found something else," she said.
Randy started to worry. "What did they find?" he asked.
"Another baby," she said.
"So, Michael has a twin?" he asked.
Liz fidgeted with the belt of her robe. "Not exactly," she said.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
Liz took a deep breath and explained. "Apparently, it's really rare for this to happen, but I got pregnant while I was already pregnant with Michael," she said.
Randy frowned in confusion. Liz went to a part of the lounge where she and Randy could see Michael and Rebecca.
She pointed to Rebecca; she was humming and munching on her grilled cheese sandwich.
"That's my daughter," she said. "She was born six months after Michael. I had to have a C-Section with him so that there wouldn't be any mistakes with her. It was a really hard time for me, Randy. My health and Becky's life were at risk, but luckily we both turned out fine," she said.
Randy smiled at the little girl; she was adorable when she waved at the man standing with her mommy.
He frowned. "Wait, what's her name?" he asked.
"Rebecca," she said. "But we call her Reby"
Randy took a shaky breath. "You named her after my sister," he said.
Liz nodded. Randy just stood there and stared at the little girl. There was something so familiar about her. When he realized it, he gasped. He looked at Liz with a mix of joy and confusion.
She smiled and nodded to confirm that he was, in fact, Rebecca's father. "Go talk to her," she said.
Randy couldn't move. He fought back the tears of joy that threatened to fall from his eyes. Liz hesitantly stroked his arm for comfort. "I need to go take a shower. Could you watch them for me?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yeah," he said quietly.
Liz smiled. "Thanks," with that, she was gone up the stairs. After a few seconds, he walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, Michael," Randy said upon entering the kitchen.
The five year old took a break from his breakfast and looked up at Randy. "Hey," he said quietly. He was still a bit fearful of the strange man, but he was also more comfortable than a few days before.
"Do you remember me?" Randy asked.
Michael nodded. "You colored on your arms," he said.
Randy laughed. "Yeah. I colored on my arms. I never told you my name, though." He said.
The birthday boy thought back to think about the man's name. "What's your name?" ichael asked.
"My name is Randy. I'm your mommy's best friend. I've known her since she was a little bitty baby." He said.
"Like me?" Michael asked.
Randy furrowed his brow. "You aren't a baby, you're a big boy," he said. Michael grinned.
"I heard that today is your birthday," Randy said.
Michael gasped. "How did you know?" he asked.
"Your mommy told me," Randy said.
"Oh," Michael said. He finished his breakfast and ran off to the play room to play.
Randy took a deep breath and turned to Rebecca. For a man who beat up fully grown, muscled men for 20 years, he was more than intimidated by the little girl who sat across from him.
"Hi," Randy said with a small wave.
Rebecca showed off her big, toothy grin. The same grin that was always plastered on Randy's baby sister's face until fate took her away from him.
"What's your name?" Randy asked the small girl.
She swallowed the last bit of her breakfast sandwich. "Princess Reby," she said.
Randy smiled and stood to bow. "Hello, Princess Reby," he said before sitting back down. "Did you know that I had a sister with the same name as yours?" he asked.
She shook her head. "No, but my mommy says that I have a very special name," she said.
Randy nodded. "You do. My sister's name was Rebecca. We called her Becky, though," he said.
"Was she a princess, too?" Reby asked.
He smiled as he thought of his sister. "I don't know. She was only 6 years old when she died; we never really found out. But I bet that she was," he said.
Reby frowned. "She died? How?" she asked.
Just then, Liz walked back into the kitchen. "Rebecca Marie! It's rude to ask people questions like that," she said.
Randy chuckled. "It's okay, Lizard," he said.
Liz had to stop in her tracks at the nickname she hadn't heard in years. Randy just stared at her. She wore a Jennifer Lopez Boyfriend Denim Shorts, Urban Classics Ladies Tank Top, and pink Converse All Star Low Tops. She accessorized with Kate Spade New York Gold-Tone Candy Pink Stone and Clear Crystal Button Earrings, Betsey Johnson Stone Pear Illusion Necklace, and a FOREVER 21 Favorite Bangle Set. Her makeup was minimal; she had on NARS Duo Eyeshadow Bouhtan, and Violetta lipstick. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She had managed to get it slick and smooth. Her curls flowed through the hair band and bounced with each of Liz's steps.
Randy unknowingly licked his lips at the sight. He cleared his thoughts to answer Rebecca's question. "My sister was born really sick. She was alive way longer than the doctors thought she would be. She was your mommy's best friend before me," he said.
Liz smiled to herself as she listened to Randy's stories about him, Becky, and Liz.
"How old are you?" Reby asked Randy randomly.
He chuckled. "I'm way older than you,"
"Older than my brother?" she asked with fascination.
Randy was tickled. "Way older than your brother, too," he said.
"You're really old then, huh?" Reby asked.
Liz laughed out loud at the sink. She dried off the dishes and leaned up against the counter as she spoke to Reby. "He and Mr. Teddy are the same age, Princess," she said.
Reby frowned in confusion. "Mr. Teddy isn't old, Mommy," she said.
Randy and Liz laughed. "Go put on your shoes, sweetie. We're going to the grocery story in a minute," she said.
"Can he come?" Reby asked as she pointed at Randy.
Liz looked at Randy; she could tell that he agreed. "You'll have to ask him, Reby," Liz said.
Reby turned to Randy; he gazed into her big blue eyes. "Will you come with us?" she asked.
Randy smiled and nodded. "I would love to," he said with a smile.
"YAY!" she screamed as she jumped up and down.
Liz smiled at her. "Go upstairs and put on your shoes, so we can go," Liz instructed. Reby nodded and went to do as she was told.
"So…" Liz started; she wanted to encourage Randy to give his thoughts.
He looked at Liz knowingly. "Do you find it at all creepy how she looks exactly like Becky?" he asked.
Liz nodded, "It was weird for a while. I was actually hoping to call her Becky for short but that was before I saw that she looked exactly like your sister. Reby was sort of a last minute choice of nicknames.
Randy nodded. "She's a lot like you," Liz said.
"How so?" he asked.
She laughed. "Well for starters, she has a question for everything. It's not a bad thing, but it gets a little trying. I can't explain everything to a four year old. And she's so stubborn," she said.
Randy was deep in thought; he hardly noticed when Liz sat in his lap.
"What's going on up there?" Liz asked as she gently tapped his temple.
He sighed; Liz knew things were about to get more difficult. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"You weren't ready, Randy. You weren't ready for a baby. Working full time, traveling, Eva; you were already too deep in your own life. I didn't want to take that from you, babe," she said. She immediately kicked herself for using the term of endearment. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that," she said.
Randy shook his head and wrapped one arm around her waist and stroked her smooth legs with the other. "I missed you so much, Liz; I can't tell you how much. You would be surprised to know that I just had a few nights when I would just cry. I missed seeing you, hearing your voice. It wouldn't have been so bad if I knew that I would see you eventually, but I didn't think I'd ever see you again," he said.
Liz bit her lip and thought about all that Randy said; she leaned in to kiss him, but Reby came around the corner. "I'm ready!" she announced. Liz stammered and pushed herself off of Randy's lap. "Okay, um, go get your brother," Liz instructed. Reby nodded and skipped away to the playroom. Liz only sent her away so she could have a bit more privacy with Randy.
"I don't know what to do with us," Liz admitted.
Randy nodded. "I don't know either, but I think it would be worth a shot if we tried to figure it out together," he said.
Liz nodded to agree. "Do you want to drive?" she asked. Randy laughed knowing that Liz was going to let him drive the Hummer after five long years.
"I can't believe you still have the Hummer," he said.
She chuckled. "Sorta. I traded it in for the newer model," she said.
[hours later]
Randy and Liz had set up everything for Michael's party. Everything was set up like a crime scene since it was a police officer theme. The back yard area was enclosed with yellow caution tape that read "WARNING: THE PARTY IS HERE". The bouncy house Liz rented was in the shape of a police station. She had some child sized tables set up on the deck with plastic police hats that had their names written neatly on them; the hats made great place settings.
Teddy had called Liz earlier and said that he would be late; it was no problem for Liz because she knew that Teddy was a busy man. Randy volunteered to grill burgers and hotdogs as opposed to Liz ordering greasy pizzas; he had gone back to the store to get the supplies.
Most of the kids from Michael's class showed up with their mothers. All the kids bounced in the bouncy house while Liz and the mothers sat and gossiped at the patio table under the table's umbrella.
"So, Liz, how is work?" one of the women asked.
"Pretty well actually. I just signed a lease for some office space away from home. With Michael and Reby getting older, I figure I can work longer hours and have more clients," she said.
The women murmured in understanding. "You could still work longer hours without the office space? Aren't you working from home right now?" another asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, but I want to have more clients. I don't want to have random people in my house around my kids. I only do it now because I only take exclusive clients. With the office space, I'll be able to cater to more people," she explained.
When Randy finally returned from the store, he arrived in a changed set of clothes; Liz assumed he went home to change. He had changed out of his jeans and button down shirt. He now wore basketball shorts and a white muscle shirt. Even though he had just turned 39, he still had a rock hard body.
"Hey, Liz. I'm back," he said as he went out to the grill. "I picked up some extra food for you ladies; I assumed y'all wouldn't want burgers and hot dogs," he said as he poured charcoal into the grill.
The other mothers didn't say a word; they all just stared at the god-like man they had never seen before. His muscles rippled beneath his skin that glistened in the sunlight. He was like a picture out of an adult calendar.
"What all did you get for us?" Liz asked.
Randy thought for a moment. "I got salmon, steaks, and some vegetables for kabobs if any of you are vegetarian," he said.
Liz smiled. "That was sweet of you, Randy," she said.
He winked at Liz and lit the charcoal. "Do you need me to get anything else before I get started on the kids' food?" he asked.
She shook her head. "No, that's all. I really appreciate your help," she said.
He walked passed her to go back into the house; he kissed her cheek and went back inside.
"Randy?" Liz called out. He poked his head out the door. "Did you get ice cream? I totally forgot about it earlier," Liz asked.
He nodded. "I noticed. I grabbed some; I got a gallon of vanilla and a gallon of chocolate. Is everything the same in the kitchen?" he asked he asked referring to the location of utensils, dishes, and spices.
"Yeah. If you need any help, Teddy will be here soon," she said. Randy nodded and disappeared. Just then, the doorbell rang.
"That's weird; Teddy never rings the bell. He usually just walks in," Liz said to herself as she stood from the table.
"I got it, babe," Randy said from inside.
Liz sat back down; all the mothers stared at her questioningly.
"Um, who is that?" Liz's neighbor, Angela, asked.
Liz chuckled. "It's a long story," she said. The women waited to hear the story; Liz took the hint and told them about her past with Randy. After about 20 minutes, Liz had finished up the flashback.
"So you were pregnant with the two of them at the same time?" a mother asked.
Liz nodded. "But they aren't twins?"
"Technically, yes, but not really," she said.
They nodded. "So he's Reby's dad, but not Michael's?"
She nodded. "Yeah. Angela really helped me out when I moved back here. I was forced to stay on bed rest before Michael was born. Then after he was born, I was all but chained to the bed so that I wouldn't have any complications with Reby. Peyton was already a year old when I had Michael, so Angie was a real trooper," Liz said.
The women nodded.
"Where's the birthday boy?" they heard. Liz turned around and saw Dolph. She squealed and jumped up to hug him.
"Oh, my goodness! I didn't think you were coming!" she said.
"Why wouldn't I? My favorite kid is turning 5 today. I wouldn't miss that," he said.
Liz smiled. "Thank you so much for being here. Michael is going to be so excited to see you,"
"Where's the little booger, anyway?" he asked.
"Bouncy house," Liz pointed. "I'm surprised you lasted that long inside with Randy," she said.
He nodded. "When he opened the door, I thought I was going to die. But he was cool; we had a big boy talk. Everything is fine," he said.
Liz gave a sigh of relief. "Good. You little buddy is in the bouncy house," she said.
Dolph nodded and walked away.
Randy came back outside to put the burgers and hot dogs on the grill. When the meat was in place, he went over to Liz. "Can I talk to you?" he asked with a serious tone. Liz nodded and went into the house with him; they went to the kitchen since it was close by.
"I know you're upset about Dolph being here; I didn't think he was going to show up. I'm sorry," she apologized.
Randy shook his head. "Don't apologize. I need to apologize to you. It's my fault that you left; like you said, I wasn't ready for a baby. I totally understand now. At first I was really upset when you told me; but while I was at the store, I realized that you were only protecting them. So, I want you to know that I'm a changed man; I know it probably doesn't mean much, but I really want to be a part of Reby's life, Michael's too, if you would have me," he said.
Liz smiled. "You know, what you just said really does mean a lot. The fact that Dolph walked outside without a scratch on him shows that you are a changed man. Old Randy would have skinned him alive and fed his body to birds," she said.
He laughed. Liz continued. "I would love to have you, Randy. I'm sorry I walked out on you; but like you said, I was only trying to protect my babies. They mean everything to me; I just wanted to be 100% sure they would be okay," she said.
Randy nodded and stepped closer to Liz; he gently put his hands on her waist. "Thank you for this, Liz. I'm not going to make promises I can't keep. But I will do anything I can to make you, Michael, and Reby happy and safe," he said.
Liz smiled and stepped closer into Randy's hold. "And that's all I can ever ask of you," she said. Randy eyed her lips and leaned down to kiss her; he was going for a gentle approach, but Liz had something more in mind. She kissed him deeply and tugged on his bottom lip with her teeth. Randy palmed her ass and lifted her onto the kitchen counter.
She wrapped her legs around his body to pull him closer to her. Randy trailed kisses down her jawline to her neck. He nipped and sucked at her skin until they were interrupted.
"Don't even need an oven. It's already hot in here,"
Liz and Randy broke the kiss and chuckled. They knew who it was.
"If you can't handle the heat, Teddy, get out of the kitchen," Liz said.
Teddy laughed with sarcasm. "Where can I put this?" he asked holding up a fairly large box that was wrapped with black wrapping paper.
"There's a table on the deck; it already has gifts on it. Just stick it anywhere around there," Liz said.
Teddy nodded and headed out. When he was gone, she kissed Randy once more. "Gosh, I've missed that," she said.
Randy chuckled. "Can I take you out on a date?" he asked.
Liz's eyes widened in surprised. "Holy shit. Alert the authorities. Randal Keith Orton just asked me out on an actual date for the first time," she said.
He laughed. "I took you out on plenty of dates," he said.
"Yeah," she said. "but you never once asked. It was always just 'Put on clothes. We're going out.' No romance whatsoever," she said.
Randy thought back. "Oh," he said.
She laughed and gently pushed him away. "Go check on the grill," she said. He started walking away, but she pulled him back by his shirt. "Lipstick," she said simply as she wiped the remnants of her purple lipstick from his face. She kissed the bottom of his jawline again, though; she wanted to leave a little something behind.
Liz watched Randy walk back outside; she smiled and bit her lip. Eventually, she went back outside with three beers in hand. She expected to see all three men hovering over the grill making conversation; instead, Randy was the only one near the grill. Dolph was seducing the other mothers with his charm, and Teddy was running around with Reby, Michael and the other kids who weren't in the bouncy house.
She went to Randy with a beer first. "Here you go, Randy," she said.
"Thanks, Lizard," he said with a smile. His eyes seemed to be glittering. Liz had to contain herself; she wanted nothing more than to wear Randy out right then and there.
"Is one of those for me?" Teddy asked from behind her. She flinched at his sudden presence. "Whoa. You okay, Liz?" he asked.
She sighed and nodded. "Here," she said as she handed him the cold beverage. "I swear that man is like crack," she said under her breath as she walked off.
Teddy heard what she said and laughed out loud. "Dude,"
Randy smirked. "What?" he asked.
He lowered his voice. "What did you do to her?" Teddy asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Randy said coyly.
"Oh. She just said you were like crack. Did you see the way she was looking at you?" Teddy asked.
Randy laughed. "Oh, I saw her," he said.
"So really happened with y'all?" he asked.
"Didn't she tell you?" Randy asked.
Teddy shook his head. "Nope. She only told me about Barrett and Michael, and you and Reby," he said.
Randy chuckled. "I'm not going to talk about what my sex life with Liz was like in front of the children," he said.
Dolph walked up. "What? Did you and Liz fuck in there?" he asked. Randy shook his head.
Teddy laughed. "That's what I said,"
"Let me ask you two something: what makes you think we had sex in a house that's surrounded by small children and their mothers?" Randy asked.
The other two men replied at the same time. "She's over there feening like a crackhead," Dolph said.
"She looked like she was going to jump you right here," Teddy answered.
All Randy could do was laugh; Dolph and Teddy joined in the laughter.
None of them saw Michael walk up. "What's so funny?"
Instantly, all three men stopped laughing and answered, "Nothing,"
"I'm hungry," Michael said.
Randy smiled. "I'm almost done, bud. How about you go tell your mommy so she can get the juice ready," he suggested.
Michael nodded and ran to his mother.
Half an hour later, all the kids were sitting in their assigned places at the table enjoying the food Randy grilled for them.
He, Dolph, and Teddy took turns manning the grill when the steaks, salmon, and vegetable kabobs cooked for the women. The three men were too hungry to wait, so they all ate several cheeseburgers and hotdogs each while they manned the grill.
While the kids ate, Liz made herself and the other women drinks. They didn't contain too much alcohol since they would have to drive later. The women got on the topic of Dolph and Teddy since they managed to find out that the men were single. Not all the mothers were married or in relationships, so they were curious.
"So what's Dolph like?" one of them asked.
Liz laughed. "He's a kid in a grown man's body. Seriously, though, he's a great listener. He actually trained me in wrestling. Dolph is a real sweetheart; he may come off as an arrogant asshole at first, but I think that's his way of testing a woman's strength. He's the type of guy who need to know that a woman can love him if he's at his worst and hate him even when he's at his best. He's a complicated guy," she said.
There was silence among the women. "What?" Liz asked.
"You know him really well," someone said.
Liz nodded. "Yeah. I've known him for about 6 years," she said.
"You've known Angela for 5 years and she's never heard of Randy until today. You said you've known Randy since you were a baby. How come you never talked about him until now?" one of Liz's lesser favorite guests asked.
She sighed. "Mine and Randy's relationship is much more complicated that mine and Dolph's; Dolph is easy to talk about. Randy is different because I've been through so much more with Randy. So many more highs and way more lows; If I sat here and told you everything I know about Randy, y'all would never leave. And only Lord knows how bad I want you out of my house," Liz said.
"You want me out of your house? You're the one who invited me," the woman said.
Liz scoffed. "Michael invited your son. I didn't want you here, period," she said.
The lady gasped. "Fine. My son and I will leave; and we're taking the present we brought," she said as she angrily stood from the table.
Angela sighed. "No, stay. Just calm down," she tried to convince the woman to stay.
"No, Angie. Let her go. She came into my house with the attitude so she can leave and take it wither her," Liz said.
Randy saw and heard the commotion and went to check it out. "Everything okay, babe?" he asked.
"Yeah. Everything's fine. Can you show the way out?" Liz asked pointing to the lady who caused a fuss.
Randy frowned. "What happened?" he asked.
"I'll tell you later," she said. Randy nodded and showed the lady though the house so she could leave out the front door.
When Randy came back, Liz was clearing the kids' empty plates. Teddy and Dolph had split the kids into two separate groups for a relay.
"Listen up everybody! I'm Teddy and I'm the leader for team 1. This is Dolph and he is the leader for team 2. How many of you can run really, really fast?" Teddy asked.
All of the kids raised their hands. "Awesome! So here's how the game is going to go: the first person on each team is going to run to their team leader and give him a high-five. Then that person is going to run back to their team and high-five the next person in line; then that person runs to the team leader. It keeps going like that until there is no one left. The first team to have no one left will win," he explained. Randy volunteered to be the referee.
By the end of the game, both teams did well; they all got goodie bags to take back home.
When all the kids got their bags, Randy brought the cake out to the table; he lit the candles. Everyone stood around the table sang Happy Birthday to Michael. Randy, Liz, Dolph, and Teddy formed an assembly line of sorts.
Randy passed Liz the policeman themed saucers to Liz; Liz cut the cake and put it on the saucer; Dolph scooped ice cream onto the saucer, and Teddy handed out the spoons and napkins. While the kids ate cake, the ladies at the meals prepared by Randy and the other two guys. One by one, the kids ate the cake and left with their mothers.
Soon enough, everybody was gone. The only people who remained were Teddy, Dolph, and Randy. Liz had put Michael and Reby down for naps so the four adults could clean up.
After about an hour, Liz's house was back to normal; everything was cleaned and Michael's gifts were moved to the playroom for him to open later. Dolph and Teddy picked up on the silent hints and left to give Randy and Liz a bit of alone time.
Liz found time to tell Randy what happened with the mother who decided to leave. He found the whole situation rude and disrespectful on the guest's part. They ended up cuddled on the sofa watching TV.
"Can I ask you something, Randy?" Liz said out of the blue.
He waited to hear her question. "Are we okay? I know I sort of messed everything up, but are we picking up where we left off or are we just staring over?" she asked.
Randy thought for a moment. "Do you think we're strong enough to pick up where we left off?" he asked.
Liz sighed playfully. "You can't ask a question with a question, Randy," she said.
He chuckled. "I think we just need to fill each other in on what has happened with our individual lives over the last five years," he suggested.
Liz nodded. "That sounds like a great idea. I'll go first: I had 2 kids. I've been hanging out with Teddy. I got into fashion; I design clothes for exclusive clients… and I'm the PTA president at Michael and Reby's school," she said.
"Really? I could always see you as either a soccer mom or a PTA mom," he said.
"What about you? What's been going on with you for the last five year?" Liz asked.
He sighed. "Well… I've been working, traveling, spending time with Nate—,"
Liz interrupted him. "You and Nate have been hanging out?" she asked.
He nodded. "Yeah. He's not so bad once you get to know him," he said.
Liz laughed. "Keep going," she said.
"Been hanging with Nate, uh, I saw my sex therapist once a week. I've been 5 years sober," he said.
Liz sat up and looked at him. "What do you mean by '5 years sober'? Does that mean you haven't had any sex at all for 5 years?" she asked.
He nodded. "Don't worry though. I'm sure we'll change that. Soon,"
Liz grinned and nodded. "You know it," she said before kissing him passionately.
Randy smiled into the kiss. He had missed spending time with Liz; he hoped they would never be separated again. All Randy ever wanted out of life at that point was a family with Liz; he would do anything it would take to get just that.
A/N: PLEASE REVIEW Again, I'm sorry it's so long.
