on one arm, david holds flowers and chocolate for his girl, and with the other he holds their son as she walks through the door after a long work day. festivities on valentines had changed wildly upon their arrival of their child.
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā The thought of working on Valentineās Day had seemed cruel, even though as far as gossip writing went, there was always a story to tell ā especially on this particular holiday. But that was fine, even though it took all her will power to get out of bed, harder to say goodbye to her boys. She liked her job, at least she liked where she knew she was heading in her career, knowing sheād step away from idle celebrity gossip and soon would be writing about things that mattered. But that would come later. But you know what Faye Brookes loved above anything else? Coming home to her boys. Nothing could beat that. A laugh comes out as she takes in the sight of them, David with flowers and chocolates ā chocolate covered cherries to boot ā and their son who clung to his father and eyes lit up as soon as he saw his mother. God, she loved that.Ā āLook at you guys,ā she said as she walked closer to them, and the closer he got, the more Adam bounced within Davidās grasp. God, she remembered Valentines with David being so different, fancy dinners and all that followed ā mostly in ways that helped create their little ray of sunshine.Ā āNow this is the way to end the day.ā she said, leaning over to lay a gentle kiss on Davidās lips, bringing her nose to the roses as red as her hair and taking in the floral scent.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Adam, upon seeing this, reaches his hand out, and stretchesĀ over and grabbed a handful of the roseās petals and pulls it from its stem, holding it toward Faye.Ā āMommy!ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā It was hard not to laugh, exchanging a look between herself and David before she reached for the roseās petals her son had clutched in his little hands.Ā āFor me?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āUh huh!ā he let out with an enthusiasticĀ nod,Ā āMommy like it?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā āMommy lovesĀ it, thank you, sweetheart,ā she said with a bright smile as her son returns the smile, only brighter. She reached forward and kissed his cheek.Ā āI love you both so much, I canāt even believe how much.ā Smiling over at David as she rested her cheek against Adamās own cheek before saying,Ā āI wouldāve never been this happy without either of you, and thatās the best Valentineās Day gift I could ever have.ā But as her eyes looked to the chocolates, she smiled,Ā āLemme get this,ā reaching over to grab the flowers and chocolates.Ā āWhatĀ ābout... We head into the living room, put on somethinā we can all watch...and eat these chocolates together?ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Her sweet boy let out a gasp with wide eyes,Ā āYes!ā In such a triumphant voice it made Faye laugh. She couldnāt help but look over at David, her face full of adoration for him, their family, knowing that in a few months, theyād have more of this, as their family would grow just a bit bigger ā and she couldnāt wait.Ā
one big happy valentine family, @forsakensun
