Amy

"What's there to explain?" I ask.

"I was so worried when you didn't come home last night. I thought I fucked up big time, again. When I snapped at you it was because I was scared. I don't want to move in the upstairs apartment I've been trying to find a way to tell you how I, we, Suzie and I, feel about you. I felt that if you made me move upstairs I may never get the chance to let you know how much I've wanted you for so long and I needed to find out if you felt the same. But when you didn't come home I didn't know what to do."

I could see a tear run down her cheek. Without saying a word I stood up walked over to her took her in my arms and kissed her again.

"Amy I've felt the same way about you for months now I just didn't know how to say it. When I told last night that I love you it was not the sex talking it was real. I love you. I've been in love with you since the day I met you. But I didn't want to push you in fear of pushing you away. I am a better person today because of you. I wouldn't have been able to do the things I do if it weren't for you. I need you in my life now and forever.

Amy wiped a tear from her eye, "You really love me?"

"Yes I do, and not just you I love Suzie too." I reply.

"Then I don't have to move away?" Amy asks.

"The only place you are going to move is from Suzie's room into ours. We will work out where we will put your stuff later but right now I need to make love to you."

I picked her up and carried her into OUR bedroom for the first time.

The following month we were married. I called my son to meet us at city hall and be my best man and we flew Amy's parents in for the ceremony. My daughter even came. Dot was Amy's maid of honor and Suzie was the flower girl.

The same week I went to the doctor and had my vasectomy reversed and not long after Amy had a baby boy.

Life is good, finally.
