Sweet Memories

"Theodore, do you remember when we met?"

"Of course I do, Georgina. It was hilarious!"

"We were two young punk rockers..."

"Even though our parents weren't so sure!"

"Haha, yeah."

"I remember when Bruce asked me to meet you."

"Yes, definitely."

"And you liked my orange mohawk, didn't you?"

"Well, it was rather cute."

"Kind of, and your blue hair was a riot!"

"Hey!"

"Just joking. I mean in a good way."

"We started dating but you refused to eat any fast food past seven."

"Well, it's not like it's good for you or anything!"

"I know, but it was a date! And it was funny because it was like you hadn't heard the word before."

"I'd heard it before! But, yeah... I was a little out-of-the-ordinary, wasn't I?"

*pause*

"Yum! This food is really good... it reminds me of our banquet hall at our wedding!"

"Oh yeah! And our cake was the best part, wasn't it?"

"With the dancing on the terrace? Definitely!"

"It was pretty romantic."

"Yes, it was."

*pause*

"We didn't invite that many people... maybe fifty, even..."

"Yeah, but I don't think we needed to invite that many people, anyway. Oh, and in the cake pictures, there was my mom... and my little brother Jasper, who was only turning nineteen at the time."

"I think she was relieved you'd quit punk rocking, don't you think?"

"Haha. I think she was pretty relieved, yeah."

"But remember when Millie came?!"

"Oh, gosh, yeah! We thought she was going to be a boy, we just felt it!"

"But then she was born, and she was a girl!"

"What a shock!"

"But a great one, of course."

"And her room was unisex to the fullest. The colours, the theme, everything. Even her toys."

"Well, yeah. You wouldn't think we would specifically give her dolls or cars based on her gender."

"She didn't even need toys for a long time. But she was always cute."

"Yes. Very cute."

"And she went through that stage with paper bag puppets!"

"And the stage with her favourite band!"

"And the 'no pink' phase! Boy, that one was tough. There were barely any blue girl's clothes in the stores at that time."

"And what about Daisy?"

"Oh, yes. We can't forget about her."

"Again, we had the wrong assumptions. We thought Millie was going to be an only child, but when Daisy came when she was nine, already!"

"Oh! But we were so happy!"

"And so was she!"

"All shocked, though."

"How could we not be?"

*pause*

"Daisy was born at home because she came a little early."

"We didn't have time to get to the hospital."

"I actually think that having her at home was less stressful than at the clinic."

"Well, maybe, but I wasn't you. It was the same, but amazing, none the less! Glad you thought it was less stressful though, but maybe because Daisy is our second and you knew what to expect."

*pause*

(sorry for blurriness on the left side...)

"Our life is great, isn't it? Everything seemed like a gift."

"Speaking of gifts..."

"Oh, Theodore!"

"This is for you, darling!"

"You're so kind!"

"Happy Valentine's day! Will you be mine?"

"Like every year? Of course!"

"Should we order cupcakes or the special for today, whip-cream and custard pie?"

"The special, I guess?"

"It looks like a one time deal."

"One slice of pie, each, then!"

"Great. Done."

"I had a wonderful time talking with you, dear!"

"Me too, Georgina."

"Our life has been so amazing to us so far! Happy Valentine's day!"

"I agree to the fullest! Happy Valentine's day!"

THE END

(side note - I hope you all enjoyed this story! I had so much much crafting, creating and thinking up story ideas for this prompt. The plot is loosely based on how my mother and father met-- loosely, not entirely--and I hope you have a wonderful Valentine's Day yourselves! Best wishes,
