“Daddy, can we get ice cream?”

“Princess, it’s late and you had a lot of cake already. Aren’t you tired?”

“Nope,” she says, giggling in the back seat.
“Daddy, I’m your favorite girl, and I
want
ice cream!”

I watch Connor and wait for his reaction. I know he gives Emily
everything
she asks for. It’s funny seeing him sweat.

“I have an idea,” Connor whispers.

In a few minutes, he pulls into the parking lot at the beach. Raising my eyebrow to him, he shakes his head and mouths ‘trust me’.

Connor gets Emily out of her booster seat and carries her to the beach. We walk hand in hand and take a seat on the cold sand. All three of us look at the stars and Emily asks a million and one questions about life.

“Daddy, I really like Nathan. Do you think he likes me, too?” Connor’s body tenses and I can’t help but laugh.

“I told you they play too much together,” he snarls at me. “Princess, you’re only four years old. You’re too young to be thinking about boyfriends.”

“Okay, but mommy and Aunt Sophia are always talking about how cute it’ll be if Nathan and I start dating.”

Oh,
shit. Maybe we need to be careful what we say around the kids. My face goes bright red and I can’t help but laugh again.

“I don’t know what I’m going to do with all of you. Stop planning her life.”

“Babe, it’s going to happen sooner or later.”

“I hope he likes me
, daddy, because I really like him.” Emily snuggles in Connor’s arms and I lean against his side. We sit quietly watching the wave’s crash into the sand. This is my life now and every day I’m thankful to have my husband and beautiful daughter.

They are
my… next to forever.
