The night wore on, music drifting into the cool air. The laughter of my cousins, the animated chatter of my siblings, they were the soundtrack to our life, a life I was building with Hailey. I saw her talking to my sister, a genuine smile on her face as they sipped their wine. She was fitting in, seamlessly, like a missing piece that had finally been found. My chest swelled with a protective pride.
I could proudly say I was the happiest I have ever been. I had a beautiful woman by my side, and a son who I loved more than life itself. And the promise of another baby, the thought was enough to make me want more, and I knew that was what I wanted.
Giovanni and Maxine were also having fun with their partners. We were finally getting to experience that love we always craved from our childhood
