“There’s a restaurant down the street with some of the best enchiladas,” Sam said. “I thought we could go there.”
The group walked along the sand, laughing, talking about old times, and Rick put little Chase down and let him stretch his legs. Mocks chased after him, the boy squealing with delight as his mother picked him up and swung him around.
Grant slowed, letting Mocks and her family get a few paces ahead, and then he looked at his new bride. “It still feels like a dream.”
Sam reached for Grant’s arm and then pinched hard.
“Ow!” Grant leaned away, laughing. “What the hell was that for?”
“Just wanted to let you know I’m still here, and that all of this is real.”
Grant placed his arm over Sam’s shoulders. “A kiss would have worked just as good.”
They continued their walk, and Grant smiled as the sight of Mocks and Rick each holding one of Chase’s hands. He had always wanted a family, and while it had taken him a while, he was glad to finally be ready to start his own.
“So how long do you think you want to wait?” Grant asked. “Before we try to have some of our own?”
Sam leaned her head from side to side, giving a shrug. “I don’t know. I was thinking we could have one in about five to six months.”
Grant stopped, turning back to his new bride. He studied her poker face, but then smiled when she cracked a grin. “Are you serious?”
Sam reached for Grant’s hand and placed it on her stomach.
Grant kissed her, and then glanced up to Mocks and Rick, who had stopped to turn and wave them forward.
