After the ring was on her finger, Erin brought her hands to Blair’s cheeks and pulled her close to kiss her. She kissed her as if it were just the two of them, because at that moment, it really felt like it was.

That was, until she heard a little voice yelling for her. “Mommy! Mommy! Did Bear ask you?”

Erin pulled away from the kiss but kept her hands on Blair’s cheeks. “You told him?”

There was a wide smile on Blair’s face and tears running down her cheeks as she nodded. “I had to make sure I had the blessing of the man of the house. Plus, I wanted to make sure he was ready for me to officially be his other mom.”

“Look, Mommy, I got a ring too.” Nolan brought his hand to a large wedding band that was hanging from a necklace around his neck.

“That’s so cool.” Erin ran her fingers over the ring then looked back at Blair. “You got this for him?”

Blair shrugged. “I gave  it to him, but it’s my dad’s ring. He got a new one a few years ago and was saving this for something special. We both agreed this was definitely a special occasion.”

Now, even more tears came to her eyes. When Erin started dating Blair, she didn’t just  get Blair. She got her whole family, along with the father she never had growing up. The fact that her dad would give his wedding band to Nolan meant more to her than she was sure he even realized.

“It’s perfect,” Erin said, her voice cracking as the tears continued. When she looked up, Blair’s dad and mom were standing in front of her, and her dad had a proud smile on his face. “Thank you so much for this. I’ll never be able to tell you how much it means to me.”

“It’s my pleasure.” Blair’s dad held his arms out toward her, and when Erin stood up, he wrapped her in a big hug. “You’re family. This wedding will make it official, but you have been from the beginning.”

“Now, I’m  going to cry.”

Erin whipped around at the sound of her sister’s voice and found her mom and sister standing behind her, both with tears in their eyes. “What are you two doing here?”

April pointed at Blair. “Did you really think your future wife was going to propose without your family here? Speaking of which, Wyatt and the kids apologize for not being able to make it. Sports, you know.”
