"Thank you all for coming," Sammy told the guys. "You were having so much fun; if we did not show up you would not notice." "That's so not true," Sammy told her cousin. "I did enjoy myself; how many people can say work is fun? But I would know if you guys did not show up."
"I hope you see it as fun the next year or two, or the ten years when you have a busybody seven-year-old, an even busier toddler, a husband, a home to take care of, and a business to run." An older version of Deon declared.
"I know I will, plus I will have a supportive husband to help me." "Well, Chris is a great catch." "Did I just hear my name?" "I was saying what a great husband you are going to be." "How could I not be when I when I will have a wonderful, smart, beautiful, talented wife like you," he asked kissing Sammy.
While everyone was busy listening, giving their input, and laughing, Kavin was busy admiring Jesreen. "Will you go for a drive with me before you go home? I would like to see the meadow one more time before it wilts away, that is if you are not too tired."
"Sure, everything is finished here anyhow. let me go and tell Dad. I will be right back." Her father was talking to Mr. Henry, Mr. Ried, and some other men. Her father was given the same welcome in the community as she was given. "Gentlemen, got all you wanted?" "The wives are happy, so we are happy," answered Mr. White. Jesreen meet him last week. it was his birthday, and they just became grandparents on the same day. 'The best birthday present a man could ask for.' She remembers him telling her while she was serving.
"How is the little one?" "She is doing what she is to be doing right now. Crying, eating, popping, and sleeping." Mr. While grinned. "I'm sure your dad is looking forward to that day as well," he said patting her dad on his back.
"Talking about that: Dad, when you are ready, you can go ahead, Kavin will be dropping me off later." "Ok, be careful; don't be on your feet too much." "Even if I wanted to be, the next bodyguard will be around. I love you, Dad." She kissed him as she walked away.
Not long after all the shoppers left. all the guys, except Jesreen, along with Sammy's and Chris's family chipped in and before you know it, there was no evidence of the activity which took place earlier.
After a heartful good, Jesreen and Kavin went for their drive. While they sat enjoying the meadow and each other's company, they discuss the events of the day. "Today turned out well. Did you see the smile which was tattooed on Sammy's face?" "Yes. I also saw the how happy Chris was because of that tattoo," Kavin responded. "Time for me to take you home, your father must be wondering where you are. Plus, you have a long day ahead of you tomorrow."
"Is this the way it has always been?" "What? "Sunday dinner?" " Not always, remember I told you about the twin's mother, how she was concern about their behavior?" She nods.
"When they started hanging out with us, Mom decided was going to do a Sunday dinner to welcome them to the group. Dad said she was just bored and wanted something to do. As the years go by, she has her super special dinner at least once a month, sometimes more for special occasions."
"She things it's just right to have one of her special dinners tomorrow to celebrate S&C's Gardening Supplies. Also, as a going away dinner for the twins. With her super special dinner, everyone comes in early and help with dinner. it's always fun."
"I better go home and get my rest then." "Ok, let's go," Kavin laughed.
In the morning, Jesreen woke up to find her father in the garden, enjoying his new supplies like a child with new toys. She joined him the time went by so quickly. They got ready and headed out to the Henry's.
