Gypsy Rose
Parenthood
Thomas and Roslynn slid easily into the role of parents, they doted on little Tony day and night. Roslynn loved waking up every morning and rushing into the nursery to spend time snuggling with her “special little boy”.
Standing in the doorway, watching the two of them was Thomas’s favorite way to spend his morning. He adored their little family and could only think of one way to improve their lives; he wanted another child. Unfortunately, Roslynn was determined to win the upcoming city council election, so his plans would have to be put on the back burner. He wanted to make his beloved wife happy and enjoyed staying home with Anthony during the day, well she was out on the campaign trail.
Time passed at a furious rate in the Malory house, Roslynn was kept busy with her new duties as a city council member, but she still managed to make wonderful birthday cake for Anthony’s party. The smile spread slowly across her cheeks, as she held little Anthony close to his cake.
“Take a deep breath,” Roslynn cooed, “and blow out your candles.”
Thomas and Roslynn helped the little boy blow out his birthday candles and watched in awe, as their baby grew into a curious toddler.
Roslynn leaned into Thomas’s arms, as she stared at her son.
“He is growing so fast, ” she sighed. “I wish we could keep him little forever.”
“I know, hun,” Thomas said, as he stroked her arm, “but he is going to continue to grow, no matter what we do.”
“Oh, I know, but maybe it is time to have another one,” Roslynn purred into Thomas’s ear.
“I think that request can be arranged.”
