“Sounds like a dream.” She smiled.
I sighed when I heard Brayden crying.
“Dad, Brayden fell and hurt himself,” Ben yelled.
“He pushed me!” I heard Brayden shout.
I looked at Stella and sighed. “When does our new nanny start?”
“Next week.” She smiled.
Epilogue
Miles
As the years passed, both of our boys graduated high school with honors, attended Columbia University, and came to work for Bradshaw Capital. This was their legacy, and I couldn’t have been prouder of them.
“Dad, I closed the deal with Hemingway,” Ben said, walking into my office.
“Excellent, son. Don’t forget family dinner is tonight.”
“I know. Mom already called me this morning.” He smiled. “Allie won’t be able to make it. She has classes.”
“How are things between the two of you?” I asked.
“Things are great. There’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“Okay.”
“I’m going to propose to her on her birthday next week. We’ve been dating for years now, and I love her so much and want her to be my wife.”
“That’s wonderful, son.” I stood up, walked over, and hugged him. “You already know we love her.”
“I know. She loves you guys, too.”
“Did you pick out a ring yet?”
“Yeah. I bought it a couple of days ago.”
“Wow, I can’t believe my son is getting married. Your mom is going to be over the moon. You better tell her tonight.”
“I will.” He chuckled.
I left the office and headed home. When I walked through the door, Stella wasn’t home yet from work. After changing my clothes, I heard her calling for me. Running down the stairs, I took her in my arms and kissed her.
“Sorry, I’m late,” she said. “I ran a little over with a patient.”
“No worries, sweetheart.”
“I stopped and picked up dinner for all of us. The boys should be here soon.”
“I’ll set the table,” I said, reaching up into the cabinet and pulling down the plates.
We heard the front door open and the voices of our boys.
“Hey, parents.” Brayden smiled.
“Hello, son.” I hugged him. “Hi, Delilah.” I hugged her.
