1.2 Newlyweds



In a rather short time, Grayson and Gwen fell in love. He proposed to Gwen on her birthday and she said yes! Instead of a big ceremony, they opted for a small one with just a few of their closest friends and relatives.


 
 
 
 
Gwen & Grayson both were extremely happy getting married. They settled into a daily routine with their work and hobbies.


 
 
Grayson spent most of his morning and afternoon working on his novels and building up his royalties.


 
 
During this time, Gwen would practice her guitar and paint.


 
 
In the evenings, they would go to the park and play soccer and enjoy the warm summer days.


 

 They would even invite their neighbors Connor and Jared Frio over for pool parties. Grayson would barbeque and even Connor and Jared's girlfriends Monique and Irene would come occasionally.






As the summer was coming to and end, Grayson could tell something was bothering Gwen. He wasn't sure what to do really. The fact that he was now married to the most beautiful girl he had ever met complicated it. He began to wonder if she was cheating on him. He finally could take it no more and confronted her.



 
 
"Gwen, are you falling out of love with me? You seem to be growing more distant and I just have to know if there is someone else." He could hardly spill the words out, his concern had grown so great and he did not want his worst fear confirmed. "No, Grayson I love you." Grayson felt a pressure lift off his chest and sighed in relief. "Then what is it?" Gwen paused. "I...I don't know if I can have kids." Grayson felt the air leave him. Gwen turned to him, the tears spilling down her face. "I didn't want to tell you because I knew you would be disappointed."
 
 Grayson, a very logical thinker, spoke the first thing that popped into his head. "We'll adopt, simple as that." He kissed Gwen on the head and walked calmly out of the room.
 
 


Gwen smiled. She had told Grayson the one thing she feared would ruin their marriage and he was okay with adopting? Her husband never ceased to amaze her.




Grayson sat at his desk, keenly aware that Gwen was still watching him. He kept his expression neutral, but inside felt conflicted. He had never expected to marry his soul mate, and felt amazed that he had even chance met her. But he had never thought about not having their own kids. Could he love an adopted child?
