It's a Love Story

Cassie smiled adoringly at him. She loved her husband so much. "We will. I'll meet you three at Uncle Mikey's house," she said, kissing her kids' foreheads.

"Mommy, I wanna go too," Timmy whined.

"This is just for the big girls, honey, I'm sorry," she hugged her boy. "Go play with Daddy. Wake him up for me," she chuckled, kissing his forehead.

Sami smiled and hugged her mom before running at her dad, attaching herself to his leg.

Roman smiled, walking out with her aunt.

Timmy laughed and attached himself to their dad's other leg. "Morning, Daddy," he smiled up at him.

"Good morning guys." Jared smiled.

Lilli got out of the car, smiling at Cassie. "Well, you have a motherly glow about you."

Cassie smiled and hugged her sister-in-law. "Thank you," she said happily. "Who is this pretty little thing," Cassie smiled, seeing Ren. "Let me guess - Rosie did her hair? Only Rose could pull that off."

"This is Jon's girl friend. Ren, this is our aunt Cassie. Auntie C, Ren." Roman smiled.

Ren smiled and offered her hand to shake, but Cassie wouldn't take it. She pulled her in for a hug. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ren," Cassie said happily.

"It's nice to meet you, too," Ren said shyly, though she was happy.

"If you haven't figured out yet, this family is into hugs." Roman smiled. "So, Ren, you riding with us?" she asked.

Ren smiled and nodded. "Sure."

Roman smiled. "Good. Come on." she said, taking Ren's hand and walking to the car.

Lilli chuckled. "That girl is to much sometimes, both of them are..."

"I know what you mean. At least they're grown up now and not wanting you to play with them all the time. And they clean up after themselves," she chuckled.

Lilli laughed. "Just wait... They never clean up after themselves. Now it's toys, later it's clothes, then it's dishes...."

Cassie laughed, getting into Lilli's car.

Once everyone was in their cars and buckeled up, Lilli led the way to the mall.

"We're go-in to the ma-all, we're go-in to the ma-all," Rosie sang, being silly.

"Why do you act so weird?" roman asked, looking at her.

"Did you not hear Dad say that Taylor Swift is doing a concert with me in two weeks and we're all hanging out with her before and after," she asked her sister.

"I did hear that. I think the whole neighborhood heard your squeal." she smiled.

"I'm so excited," she squealed, much more quietly than the previous night.

Roman laughed. "Okay, just watch where you're going."

"I am, I am," she chuckled.

"Good, because I'm rather fond of life. And Pavo's comming tonight, I'd like to be alive for that." she smiled.

"It's a country road, Rome. It's not like I'm gonna run into a cow."

"But still... you could run into mom..." she smiled.

"I"m not gonna run into mom," she said. 'Have a little more faith than that."
