if you went back in time and told your eighteen year old self that in five years you’d be playing in the snow with your girlfriend and your twin children, you’d have laughed. even more so if you mentioned that girlfriend being natalie.

long story short, you accidentally got pregnant, the guy wanted nothing to do with it, so nat stepped up and you started dating.. and now you had three year old twins, ace and molly.

natalie looked like she was geared up for a month long hike, wearing hundreds of layers over one another, and her huge boots. you hadn’t even walked far, your apartment complex was only down the road from the park.

the snow on the bench had melted underneath you after you’d been sitting there for a few minutes, talking with natalie, your hand in hers to warm both of you up.

suddenly, you heard the little pitter pattering of feet, and a cheeky expression grinning up at you. “mommy! we made a snowman! come see!” molly exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down in the snow. “get uuuppp!”

your son, ace, was pressing stones into the snowman to make a smile, as molly tugged on your hand & natalie’s simultaneously, though getting nowhere.
