No matter how much Keeley tried to reassure him that it was all real and she wasn't going anywhere, Aaron still had his moments of insecurity that it was too good to be true. Deep down he had to believe he wasn't supposed to be happy. Why else would the insecurity keep coming back? She reached up to touch his face. "Aaron. I'm not going anywhere. My dad passed his death date perfectly fine and so will I. We're going to live long and happy lives together, you hear me?" He closed his eyes and clutched…

The adults chatted while the kids played until about 7 PM. The Singletons needed to get home to put Logan to bed. Noah really didn't want to go. He hid behind Violet as if it would make it so his parents couldn't see him and buried his face in her long brown hair. "I wanna stay here! Go home without me!" Jennica and Cameron exchanged a glance and barely managed to hold back their snickers. "Come on, baby. We're going to come back tomorrow." He dared to peek out, skepticism written all over his…

Cameron hollered that the food was ready so Keeley and Jennica stood up to coax their reluctant children out of the kiddie pool to come eat. The table and chair set Keeley made Aaron buy when she first moved in only seated six people so as time went on they ended up buying a little plastic play table and chairs for the kids to sit at when they had guests. Aaron rushed over to where Keeley was trying to bend and lift a protesting Kaleb out of the pool. "What are you doing? Go sit down; I'll handle…

On the last day of preschool, Keeley and Aaron had the Singletons over for a barbecue to celebrate. Noah went to the same one as the twins though he was in a younger class. The men were manning the grill while the women chatted and watched the kids splash around in a blow up pool Keeley set up for them on the terrace when it got hot. They were little enough that they didn't care about going to a real pool yet and they weren't the strongest swimmers anyway. Right now this was the safer option. In all…

May 2019 Keeley sat on the couch with her swollen feet propped up as she diligently finished up her research paper on her successful clinical trials with the rabbits. It was nearly ready to be published in DOMA's medical journal. Just in time, too. She was eight months pregnant with their third child and Aaron had been fussing about her going to work ever since she hit the five month mark. Honestly, she couldn't have chosen a better stopping point. Once their new son was a bit older she would be…

Aiden rubbed his temple anxiously sitting on the couch after most of the Lundstroms went to bed following the Christmas Eve festivities. Nova had been acting off and he had a suspicion why. She had always been a bit high strung and had the tendency to jump to conclusions. If he had to guess, she probably thought he wasn't going to take her back to New York with him. That wasn't true at all. The moment Mr. Lundstrom allowed him to take his daughter's hand in marriage he booked the seat next to his on the…
-
Mr. and Mrs. Lundstrom were fairly traditional people who didn't understand their daughter's love of all things digital though they did tolerate it. They liked Aiden well enough since he had a steady job but weren't terribly fond of the fact that he didn't have a college degree. Nova had defended him fiercely when this came up the first time he visited by telling her parents how he was smart enough to be headhunted by a major corporation straight out of high school because of his talents. Aiden had told…

Aiden had tried his best to forget about Nova between his single player games, upcoming exams, and spying on people for Aaron. But every time he checked up on Keeley, who his boss was obviously in love with, he felt a faint stirring of longing for the girl he had been ignoring. He was sure she had tried getting a hold of him through the game chats because she had switched over to messaging him on Facebook. Not knowing how to face her, he couldn't respond even though she seemed worried. He had never been…

Aiden sighed a bit ruefully after leaving his boss's office. Aaron was one lucky dog. He got to have the woman he loved by his side all the time and he already had two beautiful children with her. It seemed like all he had done the past few years was wait. Then again, his friend had been forced to wait for his love too. Keeley hadn't wanted anything to do with him for years. Honestly, Aiden didn't think they would ever get married and yet here they were, blissfully in love so everyone around them felt…

Using the charts and graphs from the monthly data that he had prepared ahead of time, Aaron began conducting the meeting as Violet happily remained in his lap while holding her pink stuffed rabbit. As he went, Alistair's demeanor grew ever more glacial. Some of the shareholders began rubbing their arms to ward off the chill. Even Violet felt it. She squirmed uncomfortably, squeezing her rabbit even tighter. Eventually she turned around and buried her face in Aaron's chest, clutching part of his shirt in…
