Rylan nodded and quickly began to eat his food since he was hungry. He smiled at his dad as the country music played. "Mom did rub off on you." He said with a full mouth and laughed again.

Rylan laughed at his dad and shook his head. If only his mom could see his dad now. He could see her laughing at him so much right now. Rylan sang along to and then after awhile he looked at his dad again. "Dad, what was one memory with mom that makes you laugh the hardest?" He asked with curiosity.

Clay turned the music back down and tapped his fingers on the wheel thinking. "That's a hard question your mama made me laugh every single day." He answers honestly waiting for the light to change. "How about the time I came home from school to teach her how to drive and she ended up crashing my poor truck into that big oak tree? All I could do was laugh because she said she was sorry a thousand times. "

Rylan laughed softly and said, "What? Mom crashed your truck?" He couldn't help but continue laughing. That sounded like his mother honestly. He could picture that memory in his mind. "God poor mom." He said and smiled. "This was before y'all were married I assume?" He added and continued eating.

Clay nods, your mom was a youngin' then, sophomore. Poor mom? Your mom was fine, poor truck! I had to buy a new one after that." He says throwing his trash in the bag and parking the truck at the pharmacy to get Rylan's medicine. He helped him down because he didn't want him to put strain on his shoulder and took his hand before picking up the medicine. "Do you want anything else?" Clay asks.

Rylan laughed at his father. He could tell his mother and father were awfully close when tent were teens. He smiled and got down with his father then looked around and saw beef jerky. His and his mother favorite. "Beef jerky!" He to his dad and went to grab it then came back with it. "Please?" He asked.

"That must be it," Clay says running after him setting the coffee in the cup holder and handing him his juice after shaking it and handing him a tablet of his chewable medicine. "Here, take this." Taking care of one kid was a breeze.

Rylan sighed and did as his father asked. He took the tablet and chewed it then took a sip of his drink. When he finished he smiled and continued eating his beef jerky that his mom would have been demanding him to share if she were still alive.

Clay then drove joke and carried Rylan inside, he wrapped him inside Ashley's blanket so he wouldn't get cold from the snow. He gently laid him on the couch, careful not to touch his shoulder "Rest," he whispers.

Rylan loved being wrapped in his mothers blanket. He nodded and hugged the bear close as he slowly began to fall asleep. He was exhausted but she was like his mother who liked to fight their sleep. He wished his mother was here. They would have slept with her holding him close. He missed that.

Clay chuckled softly at Rylan trying to fight his sleep. "Come on now, go to sleep." He whispers sitting beside him, running his fingers through Rylan's hair in effort to get him to sleep just like he did with his wife.

Rylan looked at his dad and then continued to fight his sleep but after awhile, he fell asleep quickly. "Mom." He whispered in his sleep and hugged the bear close as he stayed asleep. He missed her and wanted her back.

All Clay could do was sigh when he heard his son call for his mother. "Ashley." Clay whispers in response before getting up and heading up the stairs. No one including Gaven and Mallory were awake yet so he took the opportunity and went into the closet pulling the iPod out if the box and turning it on. The pass code was easy to guess, their wedding date. He plugged in headphones and sat on the bed taking a deep breathe before he pressed play on the first recording, he already felt the tears coming at the thought of these messages.

"Hello my love. I see you've decided to listen to my recordings I've left ya, well my dear Prince charmin here's my first message. Knowin you you are probably laying in our bed which is good. In my pillow case is something I had been wanting to give you on our 10th anniversary. It's a promise ring. I wanted to renew my vows with you but since I can't I'll do it through here: My dear Clay Waters. I know I am no longer with you now but I love you. Know that you are not utterly alone. I'm sorry I couldn't last longer and I know you've figured it out by now, I'm sorry I hadn't told you. I love you and the kids more then I've loved anything in my life. Sure I'm going to miss seeing your face when I wake up but I know you will get through this because you are a Waters and Waters are strong. By the way, please don't replace me. I know I told Ry I'd be okay with that if it meant you being happy but honestly Clay, I don't want to be replaced. It's selfish of me I know but no one is like me and what we had was special. We spent a total of 23 years together. 9 we were married. Would I trade those for anything in the world? Absolutely not. During those years were my happy memories. Ones I don't ever want to forget. I love you Clay Waters. Stay strong for our kids. I left a DVD for Ry if he ever needs it. It's tips a momma should give their growing boy but I can't be there so use the DVD to help. That is in your dresser top shelf. I love all of you and I am utterly sorry I never told you. I don't deserve any of y'all's love after what I pulled but I'm sorry." And after that the recording finished.

The tears did come but he was able to control them. He took this headphone out and turned the iPod back off placing it


In his dresser drawer he reached over and took the ring out from the pillowcase and slipped his on his finger. He sat on the bed for a dew minutes staring at the ceiling, she asked him to do one thing, her dying wish. He wasn't going to replace her anyway he couldn't bring himself to try and love another woman but it made it that much more important that she made that her last request. Eventually he found his way out of the bed and made his way down stairs to make breakfast for everyone else.

The twins and Reagan were the first ones up. They ran down the stairs and the twins went to hug their father. "Mornin pops." Allie said and smiled then walked off to the playroom with Cory and Reagan. "Morning Uncle Clay!" Reagan shouted with a smile then followed after her cousins. Mallory and Gaven walked down and sat at the island. "Good morning." Mallory said with a smile, "so chef Waters, what's for breakfast." Gaven said with a grin. Rylan stayed asleep however. He was tired but he was dreaming if his mother. He didn't want to wake up from the dream.

"Shhhh." Clay says pointing over to Rylan who was asleep on the couch. "Nothing for you if you wake your nephew." He says with a smile walking him with the kitchen towel. "For the rest of you however, pancakes, bacon and sausage." He smiled when he saw Gaven look at him excitedly. "Yes, Ashley's pancakes." He confirms. He has never done them before so he hoped he did it right.

"And to what do we have the honor of eating Ashley's pancakes made by her husband?" Mallory whispered with a smile and Gaven was very excited. He loved Ashley's pancakes. Be then noticed the new ring on Clays finger and blinked. "New ring Waters? Who's it from and why?" Gaven asked and Mallory noticed it too. It was a cute ring.

"Well. Mr. I have to know everything, Ashley left it, for our anniversary." He says with the brightest smile he could offer them so they knew it was okay, it wasn't a sore spot. He began playing with the ring waiting for the pancakes to he ready to flip. "We were going to renew our vows." He says to answer their silent question.
