Didn’t want to fully admit that she was gone from this earth.
Dominik pressed a kiss on my temple as I started reading.
Buttercup,
I know Mrs. Davis told you this years ago, but I also want to say this to you. Had I ever been blessed with a daughter, I would have wanted her to be just like you.
Don’t stop living life to the fullest, it’s the only one we have.

Love you bunches, Buttercup.

Tonight was family dinner.
And the boys were moving around like crazy.
Dominik walked over to me with my Stanley cup full of ice and water with strawberry limeade and orange limeade mixed together.
He sneered at it, and I laughed. Then I took a sip and moaned.

Something he hated, but if that’s what the boys and I wanted, then he got over it.
And thankfully, instead of making me walk to the kitchen, he carried my plate in here for me.
I loved him.
Well and truly loved him.
Mom opened her mouth, but Dominik shook his head at her, “She’s allowed this. She’s the only one who’s carrying twins.”
Mom nodded.
It didn’t matter how old we were; her word was still law.
I loved her.
Our relationship had gotten better.
I also accidentally overheard a conversation they were having.
And I learned things about my mom that I never knew.
