his daughter and son.
"He’s telling the truth. The day of your graduation, we told him the truth. He is not my son, but the son of my best friend. His father came back two years later, begging me to give him a chance to make a family with Mike and his mother. I stepped aside not wanting to be in their way. Even though it was killing me. I came here figuring work would make me forget. I truly don’t remember that night with your mother. I only found out when Linda called me looking for money." He raked his fingers through his hair.
“We decided to buy the house you live in. We had you move close to us with the hope that you would come to live with us. After a few months of adjusting that is. I didn’t know Linda was feeding you those lies to keep you away from me. All she wanted, was to keep getting money. That day, I sent my sons to meet the new girl. I had hopes you would bond with them and I could at least know what was going on in your life." He walk to Casey.
"All I ever wanted was to do right by you. I asked for a DNA test, but the moment I laid eyes on you. There was no question about it. You have the Codey eyes. You also have the same color hair as I do. I knew you were mine and I’ve loved you from that moment on. Can you ever forgive me?" She ran into his arms. Walker felt the tears slide from his eyes.
"I wasn’t the only one who fell in love with you. My whole family loves you. It seems Mike, more than the others. Goodness, I can't believe I'm going to be a grandfather." Casey smiled up at him and Walker knew he would work his whole life to keep that look on his little girls face.
"Hey, don't forget me. I'm going to be a grandmother too.” His wife said as she joined in the hugging.
Mike came and pulled Cassandra out of his arms. "I suggest we head back to the living room before Luis and Lucy kill each other."
"Are they still at it?" Casey asked and Mike nodded yes. Walker Codey laughed. It felt really good to laugh carefree again.
Once they were all in the living room and everyone finished hugging Cassandra. Mike turned to her as everyone took a seat. Then he got down on one knee. “Cassandra, we’ve been through good times and recently through bad. Through it all it was clear that my life is not whole without you. You are that missing part of me. The part that makes me whole. Will you Marry Me?" Walker could see all the love, worry and pain of the last few days.
"Yes Mike, we will marry you." He leaned in and kissed her abdomen. Walkers’ eyes sought out his wife’s. They knew that their children would love each other as much as they did.
THE END
Epilogue
Cassandra still couldn’t believe the beautiful house Mike and his family had built for them. It was located on the property, not far from the clubhouse. The place held so many special memories for them. Mike wanted to make sure that their little girl gets to have it as her play area. You heard correctly, Casey is having a girl and his mom and her dad couldn’t be happier.
They were married as soon as they returned to Texas in a small intimate ceremony that took place at the farm. Shortly after, school started. To Casey’s delight, Mike signed up for classes too. Part of her thought it might just be so he could keep an eye on her. Whatever the reason, she was ecstatic that they had a class together.
Lucy finally arrived and was staying at the main house. That only made things very interesting as they seem to have fallen back into their getting on each other’s nerves pattern.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Casey never heard again from the woman she called mother. Yet she still talked to her gran as much as she could. What her daughter did was not her fault.
For now, Casey was getting ready for the Christmas Eve dinner. It was being held at the main house. The whole family would be there. "Mike, are you ready?" She huffed while trying to put her shoes
