"Are they? You wouldn't want one?" I asked.
"Oh, I want one. They can be weird like Uncle Ethan, or cool like Uncle Ian, but they're fun," she replied.
"That's nice," I smiled then leaned in to whisper. "I actually have a sibling on the way in my tummy."
Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth, then whispered, "Really?"
"Mmm….hmm." I nodded. "But shh…. Don't tell your uncles."
I already figured that they knew but having her keep a secret, was cute. She nodded and gave a salute.
"That's my girl," I smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Mommy kisses," she giggled.
"Alright let's go have some drinks," Ethan insisted. "I'm opening all mom's good stuff."
"Actually, Olivia and I want to get some air," Ben said as he held my hand.
"Huh? But you just got in," Ethan said.
"Yeah but we both seem to be out of it," he added. "Maybe some alone time outside will help."
"I don't get it, you two could just…Ah!" His words were cut short as his mother grabbed him by the hair and pulled him to the drink bar.
"Let's go," Ben said.

It was late. Mom had bought a plot of land next door and converted it to a mini garden to relax, host guests, or have mini parties or events. It was the perfect place: dim lights and baptized by the glow of the moon. We took a seat together, while I looked at the moon. I was wearing my glasses and adjusted them for a better view of the moon. I could feel her loving gaze. Five to six months ago, it was a different gaze entirely.
"If you stare too hard, I'll blush," I said as I adjusted my glasses and turned to her.
"Now, where have I heard that line before?" She smiled.
She was wearing a black dress this time, that stopped slightly above her knees and revealed a little of her cleavage. She was beautiful.
"You can stare back if you want," she said as she pushed out her chest a little.
I stared… and burst into laughter as I looked away. "You're a strange one."
"I know right?" She sighed and placed her head on my shoulder, "I'm so glad I met you."
"I'm so glad I met you too," I said.
She hummed a little as she placed her forehead on my shoulder and kissed it.
"I know I've already asked but," I said as I pulled away and got on my knee. "I didn't do it right the last time."
"Oh Ben," she called softly as she covered her mouth.
"Olivia Collins, will you officially be my wife, mother of all my children, and promise never to run away again?" I asked.
"With my bad luck?" she asked.
"Every form of your luck," I replied.
"You have to buy some pizza tonight," she said as she gave me her hand. "I do."
