Keeley couldn't stop worrying about her friend all throughout the babies' bedtime routine. Once they were asleep and she and Aaron were back downstairs, he managed to distract her by being in such a good mood. He sighed contentedly with his arm around her on the couch.
"I can't believe they're actually a year old. We've come a long way."
Despite her stress, she had to smile. They really had. Neither of them had thought they would be parents together after losing the first baby. Now they had two children that were getting bigger every day and there would be more to come.
She snuggled closer. "We certainly have. They're so beautiful."
"Only because they take after you," he said before pressing a kiss against her hair.
"Oh, please," Keeley laughed. "Everyone says Violet looks more like you."
"Just her coloring. I'm sure she'll take after you more as she grows up."
