I felt pretty in my short white, laced over dress. I sat next to Ryan at a table with his entire family and all his friends. "My son, you've made me so proud. Let's all share a cheers for his healthy 27" David smiled and raised his glass. Ryan smiled and thanked everyone, I looked over at him and he looked happy. I put my hand on his thigh and he smiled at me. "Does anyone have anything to say?" Said his stepmom.I mustered up some courage and cleared my throat. Francine looked at me and smiled. "Actually I would" I said. Ryan looked at me with curiosity, and so did everyone else. "Well I met Ryan almost a year ago in August when I was desperately looking for a job at 22. He fortunately hired me at his company, and strangely began to look after me. I won't lie, I did enjoy being around him and saw more than what everyone else did. People just saw this big bad wolf but I saw a man that was capable of loving someone. And I was fortunate enough to have that someone be me. I'm so ha

It was late September and I was finished with a photo shoot when I decided that I should stop by Ryan's office building and surprise him. I went into a bakery and bought some fresh baked cookies in a box before driving to his office. I entered and came up to the front desk. "Hi, is Ryan Saunders busy?" I asked politely. The woman smiled and held up a finger as she called his office. I heard home bark through the phone an angry response to her question. "Your girlfriend is here to see you sir" she said sweetly. I couldn't hear what he said on the other line but she rolled her eyes and hung up."He can see you, he's just a little testy today" she sighed. I smiled and rode the elevator up to his office floor. I knocked in his door and he didn't respond the first time.I knocked a second time and he angrily yelled "come in"I slowly opened the door and closed it behind me. He was facing the window away from me as I set my purse down on his chair."Hey, I brought you cookies" I said.

I sat on the side of the huge soaker tub of my brand new bathroom while bouncing my foot up and down. I looked over at the counter and nothing, these two minutes felt like the longest 2 minutes of my life. The pregnancy test beeped and I jumped up to look at it. A huge frown spread across my face as it read 'not pregnant' on the test. I angrily threw it in the trash and ran my hands through my hair. I knew that Ryan would be home soon so I grabbed a light sweatshirt and sat outside on the deck that opened up from our bedroom. I sat in the rocking chair and pressed my legs to my chest as I rested my chin on my knees. It was warm for late January. I watched the sun begin to set as I sighed heavily. I wanted a baby more than anything in the world. I heard a car pull into the drive way about half an hour later and eventually Ryan came into our bedroom.He walked out onto the deck "hey, it's cold out. Come inside" I shook my head and covered my face with my hands. "I took another te

8 years later...At 31 years old I didn't know that it was possible to even have gray hairs. I looked in the mirror and grunted as I saw a total of 4 gray hairs sitting at the top of my head. "Are you okay in there?" Ryan popped his head into the bathroom where I was applying makeup. I smiled at him as he hugged my waist. "You look as beautiful as ever Mrs. Saunders" I blushed and smiled. "And after eight years I can still make you blush like a 15 year old girl" "Ooh I'm far from fifteen" I said with a wince and laughed. He sighed "I'm even farther" I laughed and hugged him. He still looked great for 34. "I can't believe it's really been eight years Ry" I said.He hugged me back and kissed my forehead "me neither but If you don't hurry up with that face paint of yours, we'll be late for the charity dinner" I narrowed my eyes at him and continued to apply my mascara "love you" he called out from the bedroom. "I love you too you poophead" "Don't forget that I've been your pooph

I woke up in the middle of the night to a cold empty bed. I sat up and rubbed my eyes as I realized that Ryan wasn't in bed with me. I didn't even bother putting on a shirt as I walked out into the hall to try and find him. "Ryan?" I whispered as I walked into the nursery. "Babe what are you doing here?" I asked. He was sitting in one of the rocking chairs just staring out the window with a pacifier in his hands. "Go back to sleep, I'll be there in a minute" he said dismissively. "No, tell me why you're in here at 4 in the morning by yourself in the dark" "I couldn't sleep. I just keep having this dream that she's not going to come out right" My entire body froze at his words "what do you mean by not right?""I don't know, like something will be wrong. What if she has two heads and a tail? I'm freaking out because you're due in two weeks and I feel like there's nothing I'll be able to do and I'll be a shitty father" "How dare you even say that?" I crossed my arms in front of

4 years later... "Mommy, can we see daddy today in his big building?" Olivia asked as she fiddled with the bows in her hair. I smiled at her "of course we can honey. Stop messing with your hair, I want daddy to see that i can do a good job" I laughed as I grabbed the hair brush again. I sat down on the floor of her room and crossed my legs. I patted the space in front me "come here baby" She waddled over and plopped down in front of me. I brushed her chocolate brown hair gently and smiled as it reminded me of her father. She was the exact copy of her dad at this point. They had the same opinions about everything and even looked like carbon copies of one another. "Do you want one braid or two honey?" I asked.She held up two small plump fingers and I smiled as I began to gently braid her hair. "We'll put in the pink bows, are you wearing your pretty pink dress that daddy bought you?" "I love daddy's dress too, you look very pretty in it" "Yes! I love daddy's dress" I finished

Ryan's POV November 17th was the day I lost my whole world. I sat in my office, still fuming about the fight I had with her the night before when I got a phone call from the local hospital. I drove to the hospital where Olivia was crying in my father's hands. "What's going on?!" I hollered at my father and Francine. She began to cry "Olivia ran out onto the street and a car came, Maddie pushed her out of the way and got hit" My mind blanked and I felt a chill all over my body. "Where...where is she? Is she okay? God I told her that I didn't want her yesterday. Where is she?!" I yelled.Francine began to cry and shake her head "Ryan...honey, she was killed on impact" she fell to the floor and sobbed into her hands as Olivia cried in my dad's lap and asked to see her mom.At that moment, my breath was knocked out of my body. I fell to the floor on my knees and began to sob like a baby into my hands. My wife, the only woman I've ever loved was gone. She was gone forever. I was a

I was sitting at my little desk in my small and dowdy apartment right on the Upper West Side of Manhattan when my best friend Maggie barged in through the door with a newspaper and cup of coffee in hand."Woah what's with all the excitement?" I laughed as I continued to scroll through the endless job opportunities online. Ooh, a position for a sidewalk sweeper, interesting. I upturned my nose at an ad asking for a bald, 270-pound gogo dancer. So specific, jeez.She threw her keys on the coffee table and smiled brightly at me. "Guess who got you an interview?"My eyes widened "oh my God! With who?!"She smiled nervously and sat down. "Ryan Saunders"I smiled and blinked, having absolutely no clue who this Ryan character is. I looked at her and cocked my head, then proceeded to raise a brow and laugh. Her jaw dropped as she cocked her head to mimic min "You have no idea who he is don't you?"I stood up and walked into the kitchen "No?" I said in a questioning tone. She laughed and f
