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

Thanksgiving 2026 (Edited)

(Eric's POV)

I woke up to the sound of crying. I looked around and couldn't find Carley. So I go looking for the crying. And like I excepted the crying suspect was in fact Noah. But Carley was holding him already trying to get him to stop. Carley looks up and saw me

"Oh hey" She said

"Are you ok Car?" I asked concern for my wife

"Yeah. I just can't seem to get Noah to stop crying. I've tried to give him food and his pacifier but it seems like nothing is working" She said. She sounded really stress.

"Here let me see if I have the magic touch" I said going over to them. I slowly took Noah out of Carley's arms and into mine. Once he was securely in my arms. "Hey buddy. You need to calm down" I said slowly rocking him

He was slowly calming down and heading to sleep.

"How did you do that?" She asked quietly

"I guess I just make him feel safe" I said shrugging. I go to put him into his crib but woke up and looked at me. "You don't want me to put you down buddy?" I asked as I picked him up again. He looks then slowly went back to sleep.

"What time is it?" Carley asked yawning

"I mean there's a little light outside I would say 6:30 in the morning" I said yawning as well. "You should go back to sleep. I got Noah" I said to her

"Are you sure?" She asked me

"Yeah" I said

She comes and gives me a kiss on the lips. "Try to get more sleep, ok?" She asked me

I nod. "I will. Maybe sleep on that chair" I said motioning my head to the chair in the room.

"Ok see you in a few hours" She said then pecked my lips one more time. Then she walked back to our room.

I go over to the chair I was talking about and slowly and softly sat on it. It was like a bean bag chair. So it was squishy. So as I was holding Noah as he sleeps. I looked around the room. It was a baby room. But I'm sure we will change it when Noah grows up. I mean we did the same with EJ's room. And he loves his room.

I was slowly falling asleep as I looked around and had a million thoughts going on in my mind.

(Carley's POV)

I heard my alarm going off. I set an alarm because I want to make food for the whole family. Eric usually always makes us food but this time I am going to do it. Also tonight is Thanksgiving. Eric's and I's family is coming over for dinner. When I say Eric's and I's family I mean, Eric's brothers and sisters also his mom and Jason. But also my brother and sister with my mom and dad.

So yeah a lot of people are coming. The Rogers family celebrates Thanksgiving with Ellie's family now. And Kendall's family. Since Alex did ask Kendall to marry him. They got married 1 year ago.

As I was making breakfast, I also started to make the turkey. Like putting seasoning on and everything. Then I put the turkey in the oven. It was a pretty big one. Which is what I needed since James and Mikey eat a lot. So does Eric but not as much as he used to though

I put the turkey in for 3 and a half hours but it may need more. But this is just a start time. I could add more time but not take away time.

Once I was done making breakfast I heard footsteps from downstairs. I saw EJ come down.

"Hi mommy" He said taking a seat

"Hey EJ. What are you doing up early?" I asked him

"Daddy was snoring in Noah's room" He said
