Overjoyed
From Torg Adventure
"You'll really take care of my girls and make them happy?" she asks incredulously.
"Yes, to the best of my ability," you reply with a smile.
Her face lights up like Christmas. She jumps up and lays the biggest kiss on you, one that melts your socks off.
When she finally breaks the kiss, she says, "I was hoping that you'd say that." She starts to cry. "When this happened to your father, I realized that this was no longer the world we grew up in, and I realized how vulnerable and unprotected the girls and I were without his strong, steady hand. But with you as our husband, I know you'll stay around to protect us."
You hold her tight, saying, "I'll protect you and love you, and make you scream my name into the night. All three of you."
She turns her head up and you kiss hard and long. She says, "I'm not sure if they're ready for this yet, so I'll help you. They've always listened to their mother."
The smell of the bacon getting a little too brown reaches your noses at the same time. Your mother quickly pulls the food off the stove. It looks like everything is saved, and the bacon is merely crispy and not burnt. She finishes making breakfast and hands you a plate.
"You're going to be very busy tonight. Eat hearty," she says with a big grin.
What next?
