Ele smiled when Tyler kissed her, and she went inside as he drove away. It would be hard going to the city again in the morning and not,having Tyler there. They'd been together almost constantly, and,his presence seemed to calm and center Ele. 

Now as Tyler was out, Ele prepared a big pancake breakfast with sausage, eggs, bacon, and toast. Putting everything out on the table, Ele had a sudden vision of the table surrounded by red and gold haired children, smiling, laughing and it warmed her from the inside out. 

Freezing for a moment, Ele has another vision, of her and Tyler standing by the fireplace, Ele's belly round and large. Tyler was cupping her belly, whispering something to it. Tears filled Ele's eyes as she recognized the moments and the feeling inside of her. It was love. Love for Tyler, and the life they were building together.
