and you guys go away for the weekend. Maybe you could use Janie's place in Wintergreen or Peter's place in NYC. Or you could go on a kooky couple's yoga retreat. Put each other into some kind of pretzel pose."
"HaHa! That would be great. You know how much Matt likes my new agedness. We'll talk about it later. Let's talk about your big pool partay!"
"Victoria texted and asked if I was going to have a lifeguard."
"Are you?"
"Never even contemplated it, but Peter and I will be watching them. Peter's about the most adept person I have ever seen in the water. I think he could probably swim an Ironman if he wanted to. And of course, you'll be there. So will Janie and Chris. My mom's coming to help with the twins. I think we will be fine. I invited Victoria to stay if she felt more comfortable."
"Ugh...please . Is she staying?"
"Don't think so . We're just going to order pizza instead of grilling. I thought that would be easier. And of course have banana splits. The Meadows Family last day of school tradition."
"Sounds great. Let's get out of here and get this day started."
Heather gave Jenny a hug as they went to the car. She couldn't imagine her life without her. She hoped Jenny got the same thing from her, but Heather constantly felt like things were lopsided.
Heather arrived home and Peter was feeding the twins lunch .
"How are your toes?"
"Ready for some sand somewhere. At least I'm hoping there's sand."
"There is don't worry. I can't believe we're finally going on our honeymoon."
"We've done a lot so far and haven't even known each other for two years. Can't do everything," Heather said with a smile.
"We have a lot more to do . We are going to be pretty busy."
Peter and Heather greeted the kids with water balloons and silly string, another last day of school tradition . Last year, Heather couldn't participate. She was happy to be back in the swing of things now. When it was time to get ready for the party, Heather had the kids straighten their rooms and set up the patio. When they were done with their rooms, Peter and the boys filled up balloons with helium to decorate around the pool.
"Mom, can I write a message on a balloon and send it up to Dad?" asked Gracie.
Heather stopped in her tracks. Hank popped up when she least expected him to.
"Lovely idea . Why don't we all do it?"
Gracie ran out to the boys to tell them her idea . Peter looked up from filling balloons and winked at Heather who was standing at the window with a tear in her eye. She walked outside with some paper and Sharpies and watched while the kids wrote their messages.
"Aren't you going to write one, Mom?" asked Henry.
"I guess. I hadn't thought about it."
"You should," urged Peter.
Heather thought about it. She decided to keep it short.
Thank you for making sure everything worked out ok even though you couldn't stay with us. H xo
They tied the notes onto the balloons, counted down and launched them. Heather held each of the kids in a group hug as they watched the balloons reach the tree line and float away.
"Ok . Let's get this partay started!" yelled Henry.
Victoria and her son were the first to arrive. She surveyed the backyard. "I'm going to stay."
"Great. Make yourself comfortable," said Peter. "What can I get you to drink?"
"Well, certainly no t a beer or whatever it is you’re having. I'll just have lemonade."
"One beer is not going to harm anyone, Victoria. The kids will be fine if you have a beverage." They may even be better off if we get this woman a drink, thought Peter.
"No, just lemonade."
Janie and Chris came with Peter's niece, Elizabeth, and nephew, Michael. Janie was the type of mom who would have intimidated Heather a year and a half ago. She looked perfect. Her blonde hair was neatly coiffed with a headband that matched her Vineyard Vines tunic, which in turn matched her bikini. Her toes were painted the exact pink that complemented it all as well. As soon as Janie had realized Heather and Peter were
