“Christ, Mel, can you make these on the bus? Like, every day for every meal?” Wyatt asks through his food orgasm.

“I’m with him, these are the best!” Darren wholeheartedly agrees.

Dinner is amazing. Karen pulled off a feast even amid all the stressors of the day.

“I’m not sure I can pull them off on the bus, but I’ll make them for Christmas if you want. And if you’re really nice, I’ll make enough to freeze to take on the road. Karen, this meal is delicious. Thank you so much.” I turn my attention to her, making sure she knows how much I appreciate her hard work.

A chorus of thanks echoes around the table, and she waves her hand like it’s not a big deal. Her smile shows otherwise; she likes being appreciated and taking care of her family. Owen kisses her sweetly, his eyes dancing with mischief. I’m pretty sure someone is getting lucky tonight. It warms my heart seeing them so happy and in love after all their years together.

Darren’s parents, too. They’re frisky, hands constantly touching some part or another of each other. Anna and Wyatt’s moms are both here, and Warren and Sam as well. I’m sure Belle is missing Veronica as much as I am tonight. She might be Belle’s mom, but she’s been a surrogate to me for twenty years.

I know Belle hates the idea of telling her she’s pregnant over the phone, but she’s got no other choice. This news is going to seep out faster than any of us can control it. Especially with the rock that graces her finger now.

“Grandma, can I have the wishbone now?” Saylor pleads in a sing-song voice with the excitement only a child could have for a bone that comes from inside a turkey carcass.

“Sorry, Say, but Grandma promised it to me tonight,” Sawyer teases her, and for the first time, I wonder if Saylor is named after Sawyer.

“No, she didn’t, Uncle Sawyer. My mom already told me you were going to try and trick me. You’re being sneaky.”

“He’s just jealous, Say. He’s worried you won’t want to make a wish with him,” Noah tells her, and she hops out of her seat and up into Sawyer’s lap.

“I will share with you, Uncle Sawyer. But can I have the big side? I need to wish for a baby brother really bad for my daddy.”

Diane and Rob watch the exchange like any adoring parents would, and Sawyer is like putty in her hands. I wish he wouldn’t keep this side of himself hidden; it’s the best part of his heart.

“How about even if I get the big side, I make the same wish so you have an even bigger chance of it coming true?” Saylor’s eyes grow wide and she nods enthusiastically as she high-fives him.

“What if I wanted the wishbone tonight?”

“Grandpa, don’t be silly!” she says, giggling hysterically. Noah’s hand squeezes my thigh, and when I turn my attention to him, he’s looking at me adoringly.

“That could be us one day.
