Summer Love That Blossomed into True Love (Book 1) (Edited and Completed)

Start of Summer 2026 (Edited)

(Eric's POV)

It is currently June 2, 2026. Which means summer time. Our pool opened on Memorial Day so EJ and I have been in there 3 times so far. Carley is 5 months pregnant now. She will be 6 months around June 27. But she doesn't go in the pool. Because it's not exactly safe for her or the baby.

I heard our door being knocked on. I try to sleep but I hear the knocking still

"Daddy?" EJ said from outside.

"He's asking for you Eric" Carley said.

"I know" I said and got out of bed. I opened the bedroom door and saw EJ. He held a book up. And it was diary of wimpy kid. "EJ your mom said no diary of a wimpy kid" I said

"But daddy" He said with a pout

Carley comes and sees EJ. "EJ what did I say about that book?" She asked with her arms crossed

"But mommy, I don't understand what daddy reads!" He said

"You don't?" She asked our son

"No mommy. I just laugh because daddy does funny voices!" He said with a smile

"Well I do, do funny voices" I said to my wife. Yes she is my wife finally!

"Ok fine. If you are telling the truth EJ then your daddy can read it to you" She said

"Yay! Come on daddy!" EJ said and took me to his room

I sat on his bed with him and started to read chapter 2. I read it in a funny voice only when it was truly needed.

"Dada" Skylar yelled for me

"Hey bud I'll be right back. I'm gonna see what Sky wants ok?" I said to him

"But daddy" He said

"I'll be right back" I said and kissed my boys head

I walked into Sky and Ems room. I go over to Sky.

"Dada" Sky said lifting her arms up

"Do you wanna come read with EJ and I?" I asked my daughter

She looks and touches my face. I take that as a yes. But before going back into EJs room I go over to Carley's and I's room.

"Hey" She said. "Why are you holding Sky?" She asked after seeing me hold her

"She called for me. So I stopped reading to EJ. But told him I would be back. So can you go get Emma?" I asked

"Yeah I can" She said slowly getting up

"I'm gonna bring Sky in with EJ and I" I said

"Ok" She said and walked to Emma.

"Let's go to your big brother Sky" I said to my daughter. We walked into EJ's room and saw he was on his own game. "Hey buddy I'm back" I said. "And I brought Sky" I said

He looks at us then looks away

"Do you want me to read more of diary of a wimpy kid" I asked

"No" He said and continued to play on his game

"Oh.....Well can Sky and I play with you then?" I asked

"No" He said

"EJ whats wrong?" I asked him. He usually doesn't act this way

"Nothing dad" He said with a sad voice

"Well I know something is wrong now. You just called me dad, not daddy" I said going over. I sat near him. "What's going on buddy?" I asked him
