Willow's POV

"Baby, wake up," I whisper.

"Hmm, no." His chest vibrates from the groan he lets out.

"I have a surprise for you."One of his eyes opens, expectantly. "We're going to visit the Aquarium."

And that was enough to make him jump out of his bed and run to his dresser.

"Mommy, hurry up. Help me find what to dress."

"So the sharks can admire how stylish you are?"

Dylan side-eyes me but doesn't comment on my sarcasm, digging through the drawers. We take a few minutes but decide on some jean shorts and a dark blue polo that matches his dark blue sneakers.

"I look good, mommy." He gloats.

"Yes you do baby, let's go eat now." Hand by hand we get down the stairs and find Nana already preparing breakfast.

"Oh Nana, I was going to do that."

"No need sweetheart, you do a lot already. I may be old but I am not invalid."

With that, I kiss her cheek and sit down with Dylan to eat. I try to hide the anxiety of knowing that in a few minutes the doorbell will be ringing and Liam will be there waiting for the both of us.

I have no idea how Dylan will react to that surprise but I'll deal with it when it happens. Nana notices my restlessness but doesn't comment on it.

After breakfast, I start to clear up and the bell rings.

"I'll open it," Dylan exclaims and rushes before I can stop him.

I can only stumble on myself while following him.

Liam stands at the front door with a nervous smile on his face and a bouquet in one of his hands. Dylan has his back facing me so, I can't see his reaction but he's standing still.
