I just needed to find the right time without getting interrupted by two little people, demanding my time as well.
“Dad, go long!” Ethan yelled while we were playing football on the private island.
We’d been on the island for most of the day. Evie and Ariel were sitting in the loungers under the umbrellas, eating lunch and laughing. I loved hearing them laugh. It was the greatest sound in the world.
The way my kids took to her as if she was what they’d been waiting for all their lives was exactly the reason I fell for her in the first place. She had this power to bring out the best in people.
Her contagious laugh.
Her carefree personality.
The way she loved with all of her heart and soul.
It was all addicting.
She was addicting.
Being there with her and my children was a dream I’d been fantasizing about for as long as I could remember. From the moment Tessa told me she was pregnant—this was what I wanted.
Then.
Now.
Always.
With Evie.
For the first time in I don’t know how long, I enjoyed the fresh air and sun, soaking up all the happiness and excitement that was pouring out of my kids in a way I’d never seen before.
I ran over to Ethan, catching him by surprise. He didn’t expect me to throw him over my shoulder and toss him into the water. From the expression on his face, he was startled I was being so playful, but he quickly pushed it away and jumped onto my back. Ariel didn’t waste any time as she darted down the beach with her little legs, making me laugh at her adorableness.
“Ethan! Let’s get Daddy!”
We all wrestled around in the water while Evie laughed her ass off at the sight of us, loving the lightheartedness that was happening in front of her.
I couldn’t help but want to include her in the fun.
“Oh, you think you’re safe from getting wet?”
“Caleb,” she warned as I treaded toward her, determined to get what I wanted.
Wet Evie pressed against my body was always my favorite.
She put her hands out. “Don’t you dare!”
“But you used to love when I’d get you all wet for me.”
“Caleb, I’m not playing!”
I didn’t listen to a word she said. She was about to get away, but she wasn’t fast enough. Gripping onto her hand, I threw her over my shoulder with her ass now near my face.
“Caleb!” She thrashed around. “Put me down!”
“Where would the fun be in that?”
“Yay! Daddy!” Ariel excitingly exclaimed. “Let’s get her!”
“Yeah, Dad! Throw her in!”
