His Sunshine, Gabrielle

Carter Rivers

"Happy Birthday Dylan & Logan." The large banner read.The letters were in large blue colors like Gabrielle had requested.I stared at the banner a little longer,memorizing every deatil of it and I felt my heart clenching with happiness.Today my baby boys are turning two years old.

Gabrielle and I were only two months into our marriage when I discovered she was hiding something very important from me.That important thing being her four months pregnant with our son...sons.I remember the day so perfectly,mostly because it marked one of the most important days of my life behind the day I met my beautiful little sunshine,the day we got married,and even her birthday.I remember that sunny afternoon where I came home early from work to surprise my baby with some lunch,yet I found her crying on the phone with Gannon as she clutched a piece of paper close to her heart.

"What if Carter won't accept him,he's been so busy with work.And Bryson and Zach are going to be so mad,they told me to wait until I turned twenty-five and finished with college...I am so scared Ganny.I never done this before,I was always the baby not the one expecting one...What if I fail? I already feel so attached, I can't fail him"

I remember I walked in,surprising her that she dropped the phone.I walked over to her,kneeled down in front of her and with just my look she knew that I needed to know what she was hiding.I remember she closed her eyes tightly and handed me the piece of paper she clunged to her chest.I stared at the large shade of grey spilled over the paper,I looked so hard at it that I finally saw a face and I put all the pieces together. "I'm four months....we are going to have a baby boy." .Brielle was happy,I felt it,but she was scared.She didn't want to be a bad mother,she was only nineteen years old.I however was not scared because we had so much family that could help us and I was always going to be here to take care of my sunshine,and my son. I hugged Gabrielle tightly that day,I could not let go and I thanked her for making me her husband, but also the father of her childern.

Fast forward to two years.I'm twenty-two,Gabrielle is twenty going onto twenty-one in two more months,and today we were going to celebrate our twin's birthday.It still amazes me how fast time passed,but besides the fact that Gabrielle and I are married with childern,everything was the same.Actually we had grown more in love,we still did crazy things like when we were teeangers like running away to our Laguna rental house with our twins whenever we craved adventure,I also got a new tatoo which was the twin's birthday under the date I met Brielle and we still went to our cliff.We even took the boys up there, sometimes Gabrielle allowed me to take the boys to swim while other times we just sat there to watch the stars.

"Carter guess who wants a hug from their dad?" Christopher said,suddenly coming out from our kitchen back door.I saw Christopher holding a pouty Logan who had his head hidden in his grandpa's neck.I myself pout when Christopher gently placed Logan into my arms.Logan wraps his tiny little arms around my neck making me sigh with comfort.

Logan Gabriel Riversis my youngest twin.He was born August 29th at 3:15am while my first son Dylan Allan Riverswas born August 29th at 3:00am.

Honestly we didn't pick their names,Gabrielle and I wanted to name our twins Peter and Parker.The names were nice names,but according to our mothers naming your childern after Spiderman isn't a such good idea.

Then Weston and Zach gave us the name Logan which we loved.Tucker,My dad,Timmy and Liam came up with passing on my middle name to which Gabrielle really liked.Bryson,Gannon,and Kyden suggested the name Dylan after many hours of thinking,we went crazy for it.We only needed one middle name for Logan,which took quite some time.Then Christopher came up to me,telling me about his best friend Gabriel who died in car accident and in honour of him Chris passed down the name to my sunshine that's when it hit me. Gabriel was the middle name for our baby boy.Bri doubted it at first,but I didn't take no for an answer.Gabriel would not only honour Chris's best friend,but also my sunshine.
