“Thank you! Thank you!” Sawyer reached out and took the judge’s hand, shaking it probably with a little more enthusiasm than necessary. Ford couldn’t stop smiling because he felt the exact same way Sawyer did.
“Thank you!” Ford also shook the judge’s hand.
The judge nodded. “It’s my pleasure.”
Savanna, Gavin, Callum, Ford, and Sawyer all left the judge’s chambers. When they got out into the other room, they shared a group hug, and that’s when the tears really fell.
Barbara and Doug were waiting outside the chambers, and the moment the five of them came through the door, Barb let out a scream and rushed over to them, throwing a hug round Savanna and Gavin.
Doug was more calm and approached Sawyer, shaking his hand and then pulling Ford into a one-armed hug while rubbing Callum’s head.
Everything they had been through over the past year had led them here, and Ford wouldn’t change a thing.
Cynthia was behind bars and would be for six to ten years. In that time, she would have to undergo mandatory rehab. When Sawyer went to her informing her they were adopting the kids, she didn’t bat an eye, but he’d felt he needed to do it, and Ford supported him.
She hadn’t had to sign off her rights because the courts took care of that for her. The charges against her meant her rights could be terminated, and now, they were a true family, and no one could ever separate them again.
Larry was also in jail. It turned out that he had embezzlement charges and was wanted by the police both in Colorado and in another state for that. He could spend a good fifteen to twenty-five years in prison with the additional kidnapping charge. So, there was no way he would be coming after them.
The resort was a success, and in just the first six months, they had sold out every weekend. Ford had met people from around the world, learned about different cultures, and even people from all over the US.
They walked out to the car, and Ford put Callum in his seat, while Gavin and Savanna got in the back. He then joined Sawyer in the front, who had started the car, but. before they pulled out of the parking spot, Gavin spoke up. “You’re our dads now.”
Ford and Sawyer looked at one another. They both smiled, then looked over their shoulders to the kids in the backseat. “We are,” Sawyer said. “It’s signed, sealed, and delivered, which means no one can take you guys away.”
Gavin smiled. “Good!” He sat back in his seat. Ford looked over to Savanna and her eyes still glistened with tears, but she wore a huge smile. Like her older brother, Savie felt deeply but didn’t always show it.
“Let’s go for ice cream!” Ford said.
“Ice Cream.” Callum clapped.
“Awesome,” Gavin said.
“Cool.” Savie added.
Ford and Sawyer turned around and held hands as Sawyer backed out of the parking spot.
This was his life, his family.

Holding On To His Manny
Prologue - Dean
Did it make him a horrible parent for not wanting to go home yet?
Dean zoned out, watch the cashier swipe items through the scanner, the repetitive motion soothing in its own way.
All he needed was some cereal… just cereal, but of course, the lines had been long since this was the only till still open. As much as he’d hated standing in line, he dreaded his turn coming up.
I can do this! I can do this! The words were like an alarm clock on snooze, even though quieted for a bit, it came back louder than before.
He pushed all his panic and fear down because his kids needed him. The last few months had been chaotic, and the move just added to it.
“Sir? Sir?” the cashier’s voice had him looking up.
Dean jerked and turned to face the woman. “Huh?”
“I’m ready for your payment,” she said. She pointed to the screen and he glanced at it.
“Oh right,” he mumbled. Dean fished out his wallet from his pocket and handed over some cash to pay for the box of cereal, milk and some fruit and the yogurt Kennedy his daughter liked. She put it into the cash register, then handed him his change.
He nodded. “Thanks!” Then stuffed the money back into his wallet, before shoving it back in his pocket.
“Have a good day.” He tried for a smile, but wasn’t quite sure he pulled it off.
“You too.” She went on to ring up the person behind him, and Dean left the store. He was just about to reach his car when he heard someone calling out.
“Sir! Sir!” The voice came up from behind him. He whirled around. A boy, he couldn’t be more than eighteen came running up behind him, a few bags in his hand. He stopped when he reached him. “You forgot this,” He held up the bag.
“Oh!” Dean shook his head and released a sigh, as he took the bag from the boy. “I guess I have more on my mind than I thought,” he said. “I apologize.”
The boy
