Meet the Grandkids

It's a fact.  Lauren is going to marry Jamie.  Lauren knows it.  Jamie knows it. It's been that way since they could talk.  It never changes, never waivers, neither of them ever, ever has another love, not even briefly.

Now the children are being planned.  I am hoping that it will be a good twenty years before they arrive, after all Lauren and Jamie are only 7.  There will be a girl (the older sister) Lilly, and a boy, Ben. 

Lilly was my maternal grandmother and the name I wanted for my daughter.  But when Lauren arrived, she just wasn't a Lilly.  But I told Lauren this story, and she liked the name for her own daughter.  And Ben?  He was an old love of Lauren's from Orchard Nursery, from before she met Jamie.  Lauren's favourite teddy is also named Ben, so I am sure she still carries a torch for him.

Lauren drew pictures of her children, to show us what they will look like.  A little of her, a little of Jamie.

So, I'd like to introduce Lilly and Ben.  My grandchildren.....
