“Teddy, what are you…” Gabe began as he walked into the kitchen a few hours later. His youngest had been too quiet, and now he knew why.

“Hey, Mom and Dad,” Gabe said to the couple smiling at him from the computer screen. His parents were in their late sixties and could easily pass for a couple in their late forties. And they were as in love now as they had been when he and his brothers were growing up.

Like most kids, they hadn’t realized what a gift it had been living in a home with two loving adults. Thanks to their dad’s proclivity for PDA, they had been grossed out plenty of times. Still, Gabe had hoped to have a marriage just like theirs, and, for the most part, he had. Only it had ended far too soon.

“Hi, honey,” his parents said at almost the same time. The amusement in their eyes and knowing smiles made him nervous but he supposed it was better than panic or concern. His son had obviously not shared about the shooting.

“Teddy tells us he finally found you a match, and he didn’t need one of those dating apps to do it. Santa helped him.”

“Teddy,” Gabe grumbled, “you know better than to talk to Nana and Pop Pop about your old man’s dating life.”

“A dating life, now is it?” his dad said. “Good job, Teddy. We should’ve thought to ask for Santa’s help before.”

“I’m going to ask for Jesus’s help too,” Teddy said. “We don’t have a lot of time, and Dad says Mallory’s stubborn.”

That’d teach him not to speak before looking around. “I didn’t say Mallory was—”

“Yes you did, Dad.” He leaned forward on the chair. “They were fighting but I got them to kiss and make up.”

“Really?” his mother said, giving Gabe an intrigued look that promised he’d be getting a phone call later. Probably a conference call with his entire family on the line.

“No, not really,” Gabe said.

“Dad, I need your cell phone.”

“Why?”

Teddy dug in Gabe’s pocket and pulled out his phone. “I’m going to send Nana and Pop Pop the link to Abby Does Highland Falls. That’s my friend. She’s famous, and she put up the pictures of our family and Mallory’s with Santa on her YouTube channel last night. She might even have the video she shot at the church this morning up, and you can see Dad kissing Mallory,” he said as he typed on Gabe’s phone, better and faster than Gabe did. At the sound of a swoosh, Teddy told Gabe’s parents to check out the link.

“Which one of us did you send it to, honey?” Gabe’s mother asked as she checked her cell phone.

His dad did the same. “I didn’t get it either, Teddy Bear.”

Teddy frowned and swiped through the screen. Then his eyes went wide, and he looked up at Gabe. “Uh-oh, I sent the link to the wrong grandma.”
