The Wright One

EPILOGUE

MAY

JUSTIN

It has been nothing short of amazing having Hannah back in my life. Being a dad is the greatest experience of my life. I’m not saying there haven’t been hard days, or arguments because we are human, but at the end of the day, Hannah and I know what is important and work it out.

Today we are watching Caden in his first football game of the season. I am super excited. Like he wanted we tried soccer, he still likes it, but he wants to try football. Brodie is on the team with him so I think that makes all the difference.

Cole is still around sometimes, but not as much. We mainly work with Kelly for playdates. Cole kind of admitted that he wanted to date Hannah and for reasons besides the fact that Hannah is attractive. He somehow thought that being my son’s stepfather would give him more of a leg in town. Being a small part of the Wright family. That was never going to happen. Hannah even told me that she never had feelings for him. Not even once. Cole just assumed that he could worm his way in through his son.

Brodie is a good kid. Him and Caden get along great. Caden has made a lot of friends this year. He is just like me in that respect. But he is the smartest student in class and that is all from his mother. He admires his mother and wants to make her proud everyday. Little does he know that just showing that he loves her is all that she wants or ever needs. He’s a great kid and I am privileged to have him in my life.

Caden is running down the field, getting ready to catch the ball. He is a natural out there. We would practice at home and he always gets the ball. Hannah and I are on our feet cheering as the ball flies in the air and heads straight towards Caden. He turns ready to catch the ball. As soon as his hands grip that ball he pulls it in close and closes the gap between him and the endzone making the first touchdown of the game.

I know the rest of my family is cheering too. Megan is pregnant now, not really showing. Her and David got married last month and they couldn’t be happier to be starting to have babies of their own. I’m just glad that David isn’t so gruff anymore. My parents love having a grandson. They take him out and show him off around town. We officially changed his name after a quick ceremony. Now he is a Wright, like he always should have been. I wanted a big one to show off Hannah to the town, but she insisted on something small and quick. Who am I to argue with her? Her wearing my ring is a blessing that I won’t ever take for granted again.

Caden is running back to his team and we can’t stop cheering him on. That is my son, sometimes it’s hard to even fathom it because he makes me feel so proud. There is no way there is a prouder dad out there.

Isabelle comes running up the stands. “Oh, my God, you guys are not going to believe who I just got off the phone with.”

Mom smiles at her. “What is it honey?”

“I just got off the phone with the superintendent. They want to give me a trial run for the high school. I will take a class this summer for summer school. If I can get my students to behave and pass their course then I can have a spot on the facility next school year.”

“That is fantastic.” Dad smiles.

I grin too. “That is great Izzy. I am sure you will do great.”

Hannah leans on my shoulder. “Caden will miss you at the school. But I am sure you will do great.”

Isabelle beams. “I’ll miss seeing him everyday too, but this is what I have wanted to do for so long that there is no way that I could pass this up.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I have a feeling that this is the chance that she has been waiting for her whole life.
