Nine is not enough...love story with happy ending.

Nine is not enough...love story with happy ending.

He was lonely he knew this.
Even though he had the five children.
She had gone
her sickness  had won.
She tried so hard
to keep it from him.
But he knew……
.....he knew.
He had resigned  himself
that no one else would ever 
take her place.
Not the space
in his heart that she held.
That was timeless just for her 
only her.

But he was lonely.
It had been three years.
A man was not designed
to live alone.
The lady next door 
had just moved in.
She had three children
and he saw no husband.
She was very attractive.
he sighed 
but who wants a man with
with five kds.
Apparently no one
his last on line date
stopped in her tracks
when he mentioned his five kids.
She made an excuse 
to visit the ladies room
and never returned to the table.

He was sat in his hot tub
the kids asleep at last.
She appeared in front of him
holding a bottle of wine.
Mind if I join you she asked.
He looked into her beautiful eyes.
Not at all 
but I am naked he blushed.
I was not expecting company
he explained.
She slipped her robe off
and she was naked too.
She stepped into the hot tub.
Naked as he was.
Don't get the wrong idea
she warned.
I wont he sighed.
fate had dealt him him a losing
hand with the ladies.
Well what do think she said
courting a complement.
He whispered softly
almost blushing.
You have beautiful breast.
She smiled
and said 
do you ever get lonely?
He answered
only when 
my five kids go to bed.
May as well lay
the naked truth out now
five kids.
Are you lonely now?
she asked.
blushing he nodded yes.
very lonely.

A year later

They were having
a backyard barbeque
two of their nine kids
had a birthday on the same day.
The ninth was a tiny baby girl.
Thier new addition
to the tribe.
she watched him.
He held the tiny girl like gold
in his arms.
It was obvious
he loved her so much.
She said I love you honey
so very much.
He looked up into her blue eyes
noticed the grey specks in them
that took his breath away 
almost every night.
And said
Not as much as I love you darling.

Amillion miles away
in another universe
.That knows no 
darkness or pain
his wife smiled 
and blew him a kiss.
whispering
thanks for looking after 
my babies my love
