TANNER*"This one here is perfect. Kaysen's ring finger is the size of my pinky finger, so that should help with the size I will need," I said to the salesman.I had gone to two other stores and thought I wasn't going to find a ring that called out to me until I walked into Zales."Ok, try this one on and see if it fits. If not, I'm sure that we will have that size available; if not, we can get one sized for you," The salesman said as he handed me the ring.The ring happened to fit perfectly except for being a bit big."Can you put this ring on hold for me? I'll put a deposit down on the ring if needed, so you know that I will return?" I asked."For sure; when will you return?" He asked."Tonight with my girlfriend. I will let her pick out a few and then surprise her later with one of them. I have a feeling she will love this one, though. Also, I would like to get her ring finger sized, so I know that I am correct on the size. I know that's not usually how things go. Still, our relati
KAYSEN*I stopped in the hallway to peer in on Cora and Tanner, and tears sprung to my eyes at hearing what Cora had asked Tanner. He answered in a way that made my heart skip a beat, and I had to run to the bathroom to breathe, calm myself down and wipe away my tears.Tanner is so good with Cora, and I could tell that he put his heart and soul into everything I asked of him. More so, I could see through his actions that he does indeed love me. I couldn't ask for more.I walked out to the Living Room and watched Cora and Tanner continue with their tea party. It was the cutest sight I had ever seen. Man, I love this man with all of my being."Kaysen, hurry up the food is going to get cold," Momma called out to me as I was brought back to reality."Tanner, what would you like to drink? We have sweet tea, water, juice, and coke," I said as I walked over and put my hand through his thick dark brown locks.Tanner caught my hand and kissed the back of my hand."Sweet tea would be great, bab
TANNER*My alarm sounded on my phone, and I quickly reached up and turned it off before it would wake Kaysen. She stirred and bucked into me."Shhh, I need to get home and get ready for work. Go back to sleep, and I'll see you tonight. I love you, Kaysen," I said as I kissed Kaysen on the cheek and climbed out of bed.Kaysen and I had walked back to her room last night, and I had stripped down to my boxer briefs while Kaysen had changed into her nightgown. We had crawled into bed, and I had cuddled her all night long. It hadn't taken Kaysen long to fall asleep as I spooned her from behind and brushed my fingers through her hair.I got dressed and slowly made my way down the hall toward the bathroom. After relieving my bladder, I made my way out of the bathroom to find Nancy outside waiting for me."Follow me, young man," Nancy hissed quietly, and I followed Nancy to the kitchen."You stayed the night last night?" Nancy questioned me while pouring herself some coffee."Well, yes, Kayse
TANNER*"Kaysen, please stop. It's not what you think. Kaysen! Please hear me out," I cried as I ran after Kaysen.Kaysen isn't supposed to be carrying Cora or overexerting herself, but at this moment, I think she's forgotten. I caught up with her and hugged her and Cora to me tightly."Please stop, or you will hurt yourself and our babies," I whispered into Kaysen's ear.Kaysen had tears running down her face."You had another woman in there, and she had her hands all over you. What am I supposed to think, Tanner?" Kaysen screamed.I turned my head to see Mae walking towards us."Hey, I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'm engaged and leaving for Japan. I came by to apologize to Tanner before I left. See that man in that car right there; that's my fiance," Mae said as she pointed to an SUV a few feet away. Kaysen turned her head to see what Mae was talking about and nodded."I'm sorry if I caused any problems; I was unaware of the fact that Tanner had a girlfriend. I've got to go
TANNER*"Goodnight, Mrs. Richardson," I said as I reached the front door."Why are you doing this?" Nancy asked."Because I love your daughter Ma'am, and I'm going to ask her to marry me, but we are going to live together first. We can't be rushed, but Kaysen and I don't want to be apart from each other any longer. I promise to take care of Kaysen and Cora. I will care for Cora as if she were my own flesh and blood. Please let this go and let Kaysen and I be happy, don't make this any harder than it has already become," I said as I opened the door to walk out."You're taking my only child and granddaughter away from me; I'm not going to stand by and let you do that. I will fight this. Mark my words, young man," Nancy said as she tried to block my exit."For one, Ma'am, I am about to turn thirty-two years old, and I'm CFO and Co-owner of a billion-dollar company; please stop calling me young man. It would be best to let Kaysen go; I'm not going to take either of them from you. We will
TANNER*It's now seven o'clock, and Blaze, Jace, and I have finally made it home to Blaze's house. We had stopped at Pizza Hut and grabbed several pizzas. Since we were late getting home and that's something we can all eat, including all of the toddlers. I glanced around and saw that Lyra and Vega were sitting in the Livingroom."How are things going with Cora and Adelaide?" I asked Vega, who had noticed that I had walked over."The girls are doing great. Lyra brought them home, and I stayed with Kaysen to help her finish packing. Kaysen hasn't been feeling well; she checked on Cora and went to bed. She and her mother had quite the falling out. Lyra felt it was best to go ahead and bring Cora here," Vega said."I thought if you both went instead of me, things would go smoothly, but I guess I was wrong. I guess now you both see why I needed to get Kaysen and Cora out of there," I said as I turned to walk towards the guest room to check on Kaysen."Well, her mom was screaming about gett
KAYSEN*It is crazy how a week flies by, and you look up and try to think about what had transpired that week. Pregnancy hormones don't allow me to remember much. It has been hard keeping the fact that I'm pregnant from Lyra and Vega. Sometimes they would look at me with questioning looks, as if they knew, but wouldn't say anything. The new medicine Dr. Ryan has given me works like a charm, and Tanner has gotten me some saltine crackers to hide in my room. The new furniture for our new home arrived yesterday. Blaze and Jace have been helping Tanner move the furniture in and get all of the furniture assembled. It is now Friday, and Tanner feels like the home is ready for Cora and me to move in. I've gotten all of our things packed, and I'm patiently waiting for Tanner to arrive so that we can load up mine and Cora's things and head to our new home. Tanner seems to be taking forever, though; my patience has grown thin these days. I don't know whether to blame my mom or the pre
KAYSEN*Tanner had talked to Diana about having a housewarming party, and it was hilarious. She loved the idea and said to be ready by next Saturday. I loved her reaction. Diana jumped up and hugged Tanner and me and had so much excitement about the idea of Tanner and me living together. It was a breath of fresh air, honestly. My mother would be scolding me and making me feel like scum, shit on the bottom of someone's shoe rather.Tanner and I got home with Cora and let her watch My Little Pony until eight-thirty. Then we helped her get ready for bed and tucked her into her brand new Minnie Mouse bed. I didn't think she would love it as much as her Princess bed at my mom's, but Cora went haywire. She loves her new room and her new bed. Tanner had gone out and stocked her room with toys yesterday before coming and picking us up from Lyra and Blaze's house. Cora picked out her bedding; it happened to coincide with the toddler bed we had gotten her. What are the odds that Cora would pick
