"Tommy!" I laugh running after Luke's son
"Nana!!" He screams running away from me
"Tommy, is nana chasing you?" Derek asks picking him up
He nods and rests his head on his chest, I awe and walk into the the kitchen seeing Lily
"My baby girl" I coo as I go to hug her
"Hey moma" she laughs hugging back
"Is dad here yet?" Luke asks and Nate comes in right after he said that
"Hey lulu" Nate laughs pulling Luke into a hug
Luke groans at the nickname but hugs him back
"Where's my grandson?" He asks and Tommy runs in and just into Nate's arms
"Papa" Tommy squeals, Nate puts him down and he runs over to Luke
"There's my princess!" He smiles pulling Lily into a hug too
Jami hugs Luke and Lily then comes and says hi to me and Derek
"How've you been?" I ask
"We've been great, Tommy's too cute" she smiles picking up Tommy
"He is" I coo pinching his baby cheek
"You got a boyfriend yet?" Derek asks Lily as he sits on top of the counter
"Oh yah actually" she smiles
"Who do I need to kill?" Nate jokes, looking a little serious
"Who's balls do I need to cut off?" I ask
"Who do I need to shank?" Jami asks
We all look at each other and bust out laughing, we all calm down and refocus on Lily
"Who's the lucky guy?" Derek asks
"Uh his name is Jason, we've been dating for a couple of months" she smiles
"And we're just finding out?" I ask raising an eyebrow
"We just started to get serious, I think it's too early to bring him to ALL my parents" she shrugs
"Well ok" I mumble grabbing Tommy from Jami
"You say all like you two have ten parents" Nate jokes making Derek laugh
I eye both Nate and Derek causing them to ask what was wrong
"You two are starting to get dad humor's" I cringe making Jami laugh
"Whatever" Nate shrugs and gets up to grab the Hennessy bottle from the cabinet
"But we still act young" Derek says grabbing a cup to pour himself some Hennessy
"Y'all still drink and smoke like you're still 21" Jami says
"It's not just us, she does too" Derek says pointing to me
My jaw drops, he's snitching me out right now
"Don't bring me into this" I raise my hands
"You started it!" Nate says shaking his head
"God you two act like five year olds" I groan with a smile on my face
"You love it" Derek smiles
-
"Who want to say grace?" I ask and Nate stands up saying he will
I grab Derek and Nate's hand as he starts
"Dear god, thank you for my wife Jami, Mia and Derek. Thank you for my healthy children and my beautiful grandson. Thank you for all of this amazing food prepared by Mia and Derek but most of all for my amazing family." He smiles
We all say amen and dig in. We sit there eating, talking and laughing. It's these moments that I love, just spending time with my family.
I smile and take a bite of my food. I look up seeing Derek looking at me, I smile and put down my fork.
After my break up with Tyler I never thought I would be happy again, but here I am married to the best man in the world, with my two kids and my grandson. Raising the twins with Nate and Jami was such an amazing thing, I'm so thankful that we acted like adults and raised two beautiful kids. Derek didn't need to accept the twins as his, he did and he's the best baby daddy ever
I lean over and kiss Derek, he smiles when I pull away and grabs my hand
"I'm still so in love with you" I whisper leaning on him
"I'm still in love with you" he whispers back "until we're both old and wrinkly"
"I can't wait."
