Very short for a first entry, I know. Sorry about that. But there is way more Shules and family coming! As soon as I write it...lol Thanks for reading! :D
"Cassy! Come here, please!" Juliet Spencer called to her daughter of six years.
Cassandra Molly Spencer ran down the stairs of their two story home. "Coming!"
She reached the bottom, "Yeah, Mommy?"
"Look what I found." Juliet whispered quietly to Cassandra. She put her finger to her lips, telling Cassy to be quiet as she pointed at one of the kitchen cabinets.
A grin reached Cassy's face as she snuck over to the cabinet and opened it. "Found you!"
"Mom!" Zachary David Spencer said from his spot in the cabinet. "You showed her my secret hiding place! That's not fair!"
"Sorry honey, but you know you can't play in the cabinets. Now shoo, I need to cook dinner."
Zach got out of the cabinet and tagged Cassandra while saying "You're it!" and running to the back door. Cassy wasn't that far behind.
She stiffled a laughed at the twins and was about to start on dinner when two hands wrapped around her, "Guess who."
She smiled, "Shawn."
"Wrong! It's Mr. Carbon Footprint. Dang, you weren't even close." he spun her around to face him. "But that's okay, maybe next time. How's my wonderful girl today?"
"Had a little morning sickness this morning, but other than that, I've been pretty good." she smiled at her husband while putting a hand on her protruding stomach.
"I hope this one isn't as rowdy as those two." he said, pointing out the window at the siblings chasing each other throughout the backyard. "I don't think I could handle it."
"Oh stop it. You know you could too!"
"You're right I probably could. But I really don't care. I'll love 'em anyway."
She wrapped her arms around his neck. "I love you." she rested her forehead on his.
"Yeah you do." he said, filling the gap between them.
"Eww!" two voices said from behind the kissing couple, making them break away.
"That's disgusting!" Cassandra laughed. She had seen her parents kiss hundreds and hundreds of times and now she said it was disgusting as a game.
"Why do you think it's disgusting?" Shawn asked her, kneeling down to her level.
"It just is!" she laughed again.
He raised an eyebrow, "Is it now?" he reached for her sides, wiggling his fingers to tickle her.
"Daddy! Stop!" she squealed, moving all around as she tried to get free.
"Come 'ere you!" he laughed and pulled her into a hug. "Hey, you're not chopped liver, get over here!" he motioned for Zach to join him and Cassy.
Zach jumped into his father's arms, laughing and squealing when Shawn started tickling him, too.
Juliet watched as Shawn picked them both up and carried them outside, starting another game of tag. She smiled as she watched them chase each other. She never would have pictured Shawn as a father, not to mention a good one. But, she wouldn't have it any other way. She had the best family anyone could ever ask for.
