Picket Fences! Part 68


Over at Rhys' place . . .


His family and close friends gathered to celebrate Rhys' birthday.

Rhys came to his birthday cake.

He made a wish and blew out the candles.



Everyone blew the birthday horns and clapped the clappers.



Then in a flash of light he started to grow up.

Rhys grew up into a goodlooking elder.


Then he grabbed a big slice of cake and sit down and enjoyed it.


"Happy birthday Daddy!", said Megan Grace.

She gave him a friendly hug.

"Happy birthday sweetheart", said Claudia.

Then Claudia gave him a romantic kiss.

"Come 'mon Dad", said Rhys.

And he and his dad played Punch U-Punch Me.


When Regan came to pickup Megan Grace, she said, " Happy birthday sexty. You're stil as handsome as ever."
"Um, thank you", said Rhys.

Then Megan Grace left to go home with her mama.

"You know something, she's right. You do look sexty with that grey hair", said Claudia.

Rhys gave her a romantic kiss.

After all the other guests left, Rhys said "Do you want to spend the night?"
"Yes", she answered.


After Claudia changed Hannah and dressed her for bed, Rhys put her in the crib.

They went into the bedroom and sit on the loveseat . . .
"Are you okay with this getting older thing?", she asked.
"I don't know. Do I have a choice?", he said.

"Not really. It's just that some people accept aging better than others", she answered.


"Besides having grey hair and a few new wrinkles, I don't feel no older", said Rhys.

"You look wonderful . . .

"For an old man", she joked.


"Come relax on the bed with me and I'll show you how old I am", he said.

"Okay, follow me", she said.


They relaxed on the bed. He gave her a kiss.

They madeout.

"You want to do woo hoo?", he asked.

Claudia said YES!


"How was it?", he asked.
"Just as wonderful as ever", she answered.

They got out of bed and Rhys asked . . .
"Remember when I told you if I ever decided to settle down that you would be the first to know?"
"Yes, I remember", she said.

Then Rhys got down on one knee and held up a ring . . .
"Claudia will you marry me?"

"I'm so surprised!"

"It's beautiful."


"Yes!", I'll marry you!"
