Summary
Bob is a single Father after his late Wife was killed by a drunk driver.Mav and the Admirals know about his personal life but few "Wizzo's" are as qualified for this secret mission yet they respected his wishes to keep it from the others.Phoenix finds out after the bird strike and while she's angry at first, it quickly subsides as he tells her everything. She already liked working with him because he's professional, dedicated, and fiercely loyal just like her but now, she gets to see the real "Bob" and his callsign just might actually stand for "Best of the Best" afterall.They become fast friends on the deck while also trusting each other which leads to a mutual attraction that neither saw coming and they move fast on the ground as well.They bond over dance, running, family values and also trying to make each other tap in martial arts.Nix also forms a special relationship with Bob's Son while carefully earning his Daughters trust.He shows her that good men aren't a fairy tail and she encourages him to step out on the edge again and balance his faith with a bit of fun.Sometimes opposites attract and sometimes it's a beautiful thing.
Note
Bird strike.I am going to start here even though I feel other creators did a fantastic job with it.My intention is to make this the event where they really start to bond.
All Chapters

Wedding Rings, More Kids, and the finest of things..... But love is the greatest. *The End*

Its two days before Bob and Nix have their Wedding on the beach and the Reception at the Hard Deck.
The Guys Build the dance platform while the gals enjoy a spa day.
Then Phoenix and Bob See each other the night before the wedding as they also dote on the kids.
The Wedding is filled with fun and a night full of memories on the dance floor and with their families.
After that, I will do a Time jump of few years and keep the end of this story happy along with a few more surprises.
This will be a longer Chapter as I close this one out but I want to thank you al for reading because I had a lot of fun writing this one.

 

Bob is out with the guys to set up beach chairs and build the temporary dance floor outside the Hard Deck for the reception but things get carried away as Rooster and Hangman decide to embrace day drinking while they get gooned up which results in sore thumbs and hammers along with collapsing the structures before they are ready to take bearing any kind of weight.
Calvin is also on a caffeine high since Hangman thought it would be funny to give him a Red Bull.
Cal is supposed to be holding up support beams for Bob but he gets distracted by chasing seagulls on the beach and screaming wildly every time he finds a seashell and pretending, they are a pirates treasure.

Frank steps in to help Bob with the support beams after he and Mike had a tense stand- off with nail guns because they were shooting empty beer cans with them but neither one missed a shot.
Colin had to break them up before the smack-talk went to fists.
Coyote and Payback are also drunk as skunks but manage to construct a perfect dance floor.
Fan Boy is with Mav as they build the trestle and unload the folding tables.
Bob is somewhat frustrated with the chaos around him but at the same time, his heart is full as his family is by his side and everyone is having a lot of fun.
He also remembers his Dad telling him as a child “If it sucks, have fun doing it.”
And are they ever having fun!

Frank: Son, I’m proud of you.
Gotta admit I thought you were a lost cause as a teenager but you really turned it around.
I know you have been through a lot in your life and I wasn’t always there with all my deployments….Then when I was home, I rode you hard and never let you be a boy.
But you turned out to be the second-best Floyd ever in the history of ever…next to him of course. (Frank points to Calvin as he’s holding up a Crab with one hand and referencing his nature book with the other to identify it and then screaming with pure joy once he discovered its proper name.
You raised the best young man and woman that I am so proud to call my grandbabies.
I might have done it wrong but you are doing it right.
Bob is tearing up because Frank is rarely humble but he hugs his dad tightly and tries to speak.
Bob: And I always thought I was disappointment to you.
I know I didn’t follow in your footsteps, and I wanted to, but Carrie changed my mind.
Frank: I’m sorry I made you feel that way my boy… Because your one hell of a man now.
Carrie and God saved your delinquent ass. You became a good man but once she passed, you had no choice but to be an even greater one.
Now, You are at a whole new level with that gal at your side. You took a beating but kept on going.
I always told you it pays to be a winner and now you won big just like before.
She’s also good to go not to mention gorgeous.
Bob: Absolutely Dad. Thank you.

At this Moment, Marcus and Wes come outside to lend a hand after putting all of the wedding pamphlets together.
Marcus: How about we work on the other side?
Frank: Divide and conquer, I like it boys.
Bob: Best Father In-Laws ever!
While the guys are getting set up for the reception, The Gals are taking it easy as Brenda had all the dresses completed along with paid for everything else to be taken care of But the guys wanted to do something for Phoenix and Bob so they took the dance fllor proecjt.

Bob Has his Brother Colin, , Mav, Mike, and Rooster as his Best Man.
Bob had his little brother as his Best Man when he got Married the first time and Colin was completely cool with Roo getting the honor this time.

Shelley and Amelia are going to be the flower Girls while Calvin is the Ring Bearer.
Wes and Cheryl will be the Guests of Honor who will officiate and also read from scripture during key points of the Ceremony.
Coyote, Payback, and Fan Boy will be ushers.
The Girls are all out for Spa Day as they get to talking.

Phoenix along with Mel,Penny, and Halo are
They are all going to be Brides Maids with Nix’s Sister as the Maid of Honor.

Halo: Or NOT coming along!
Everybody giggles at this.
Penny: Its actually going pretty good. Here’s some photos Pete sent me!
Shelley: IS THAT CALVIN IN THE BACKGROUND WITH A SEAGUL IN HIS ARMS AS HE FEEDS HIM FRENCH FRIES!?
Everybody loses it because they didn’t catch Cal in the background at first.
Sarah: And I thought Tony was a Wildman!
Phoenix: He may be high energy and flamboyant but my “Bonus Boy” has the kindest heart, the best snuggles, and the best values of a young man.
Cheryl: That he does. You have really helped him come out of his shell.
Shelley: And Dad as well!! Nice Job Nix.
Phoenix: Thanks Shell, and thank you for letting me in. I love you all.
Shelley hugs Nix tightly with a smile.
Shelley: I love you too. And I am excited to welcome you to the family. You really don’t suck and have he best advice for hair and makeup.
Still not you calling you Mom though. I just cant do it. Not that I don’t like you. OK?
Phoenix has tears of joy as she softly speaks.
Phoenix: Totally fine. Im just so happy you are part of this package deal.
Brenda: I’m also happy you and Cal are part of the package deal! The More Grandkids the better!
Phoenix: We both would like to try after our Marathon next week. If it doesn’t happen, that’s perfectly fine however because I got these two anyways.
Hellen: I don’t mean to break up the happiness, but could somebody message the boys and tell them to get that bird away from Calvin? It might have diseases or fleas.
Now I promise I’m not the Fuddy Grandma or anything but… that act is just a little to much like something Francis would do and…
Everybody starts laughing again because they all know Franks wild antics by now but they still love him.
Penny: No! that’s a good point! I will tell Mav.

***Back at the Hard Deck***
Mav: Hey Cal! Your Grandma told you to let Mr. Sqauwkers go because he might have dangerous germs!
Calvin: Which Grandma!?... IT WAS MS. HELLEN WASN’T IT!?
Calvin lets the seagull go but it doesn’t fly off and just sqawks for more fries.
CALVIN: SEE!, HE DOESN’T WANT TO LEAVE! HES MY FOUNDLING!
All the guys are laughing hysterically at Cal’s defiance, but Bob goes to pick up his boy who has a grumpy look on his face while Colin Scares it away.
Calvin: YOURE A REAL TREAT UNCLE COLLIE!!! YOU KNOW THAT!?
Colin: Suffer in silence my foundling! (Colin and Calvin are both Huge STAR WARS Nerds with having a ridiculous fandom to Mandalorian culture in particular)
Calvin: SUFFER THIS!
Calvin starts to make a fist and extend his middle finger but Bob takes Cals hand to cover the obscene gesture while he scolds his son but everybody else loses their minds with laughter.
Calvin: THIS IS THE WAY!!
Mike Joins Colin and takes his shoulder playfully.
Mike: Damn… That boys got a sense of adventure and some sass! Might have another Marine in the Family someday.
Colin chuckles.
Colin: Rah? But he wants to be a fighter Pilot like Natasha. Little dude worships the ground she walks on.
Mike: Very true but she also adores him with her entire heart... But ya know, The Corps has Fighter Pilots too.
Colin: Good point… Best of both worlds.
They fist bump and get back to working on the deck.
Later that afternoon, the guys finish the dance floor with amazing results but they start making dinner for every body as the Girls on their way back.

Later that evening once everybody is back home, Phoenix and Bob are on the patio couch on the beach house With Calvin asleep across Nix’s Lap with a light smile.
They have some Classic 50’s music going the background while Bob has an arm around Nixs Shoulder.
Bob: I love this life we have together Nix. The Kids have adjusted so well out here and even Shelley and you have made a lot of progress over the summer.
Bob is trying to wipe the tears from his eyes But Nix Notices.
Phoenix: Hey… are you alright babe? Whats wrong?
But Nix immediately remembers what Bob said when they were together at the the hospital in overnight observation where he told her that he would come home late some evenings and call would be sound asleep across Carries lap.
Phoenix: Oh!.... I get it…. Is this to much for you? I can put him across your lap.
Bob: No. Not at all. It’s a gift.
He holds Nats hand tightly with a smile as she returns it.

Phoenix: Lets tuck him in and get some sleep ourselves?
Bob: I like it but Why don’t you go on ahead? I want to spend some time with my little girl.
Phoenix: Of course! But don’t be mad if I pass out with him in his fighter bed?
Bob Kissed her cheek.

Bob: Of course not!

Bob Makes his way to the Kitchen as Shelley insisted on making some cookies for the wedding.
Shelley: hey Dad! Whats up?
Bob: I thought I would join you in baking or at the very least, spend some time together before the wedding.
Shelley gives him one of her rare and authentic smiles with bright blue eyes as she hugs him tightly.
Shelley: You always make time for me. And I know I matter, (she starts to sniffle) I am bracing for my next heart break is all but I shouldn’t because you have always been good to us. You’re the best Dad ever.
Now, can you help me with the frosting?
Bob Smirks
Bob: Yes! Quickly before Calvin wakes up and steals it all.
They chuckle at Cals past history of baking disasters but Bob and Shell move on to soft music as they dance together but Bob ends up crying his heart out when the song “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw plays.
Shelley is trying to hold him up but she’s also a mess because she also tried to hide her emotions but they both take a seat on the couch crying for a good minute.
Bob Tells her that how proud of her he is and that she will always be his first child.
Shelley Admits to Bob that she really loves Nix but she just can’t call her Mom.
The two finally stop crying and get back on their feet while laughing at each other’s terrible art work with the frosting but Shelley is starting get very tired so Bob carries her to bed and tucks her in but he also prays for her and thanks God for her.
But Shelley just hugs her dad and doesn’t let go for a few minutes.
Bob could stay here forever and doesn’t even mind.
Shelley: I love you Dad. I’m sorry I don’t say it enough.
Bob: Love you too Shell. And I cant wait for your first play in years! You are going to be great!
Bob Leaves to find Nix fast asleep all snuggled up with Calvin and both wearing the cutest smiles.
He is beside himself with the way those two have bonded.
Bob Grabs a blanket from his room and goes back to Shells room.
Shelley: Seriously?!
Bob: Well Maybe Nix is passed out with Cal and I have no body else. I Feel like I don’t spend enough time with you as it is.
Can I just have the Floor mat to sleep on?
Shelley: WHAT!? No! Here! Take the top bunk!]
Shelley tosses her stuffed animals off as they hit bob on accident but shes laughing at her clumsy dad because he can’t dodge a thing.
Bob and Shell finally get to sleep but all of them are up by 8:00 A.M. as the make breakfast together along with Roo and Mel stops by too since she Is really getting along with Bradley.

 

Eveybody is togthr for the rehaerasal dinner and that goes well but As Phoenix and Bob part for the night, they bigd each other a hug and kis but say nothing as a challenge they wanted to try but their eyes said it all to each other.. Just like Before.

Most of the Guys went home to sleep before ethe wedding but Bob,Roo and Cal Spent the night ijna large tent picthed at the Hard Deck.
Phoenix had the entire beach house for her wedding party to sleep their while she had to pinky swear that none of the girls were going to sleep in his bed and give him cooties but Nix did have to lend out his Wolverine Comforter.

The wedding party tsarts to arrive as the guys keep Bob Away from Phoenix to avoid bad luck but they do get to to seak to each other around the corned while hoding hands.

Phoenix: Wouldn’t miss it for the world Sir, I have waited my entire life for this moment and now its finally here.

Bob: I shall Never compare but I will say that they are both special and mean the same whie being different.

Her Dress is stunning along with her hair and everything else.

Wes Officiates the Wedding and as they exchange Rings, Phoenix and Bob have their own Vows.

Phoenix: But sometimes you lead and some times I lead instead.

Bob: I promise to be with you no matter what may come. It was was part of my Job to talk to you but my job became one of the greatest joys of my life.
I will always talk to you whether its life, love, struggles, or hurt or fun.

Phoenix: I promise to respect you always and listen when you speak.
I will always consider your wisdom and knowledge.

Bob: Whether we find fortune or forclosure on our moneytary dreams, I could care less so long as you are with me in the end.
But I promise to keep you wealthy with smiles and eyes of joy.

I will be at your side in the air and on the ground.

The two exchange rings with bright eyes.

 

Wes: You may kiss the bride.

Bob Lifts her Veil and kisses her like has before but he never takes it for granted and he never will.
He kisses her like it’s the last time every time.
The entire Wedding cheers wildly as the two get mobbed by family along with Bobs Kids being right there with them.
Phoenix and Bob are enjoying the Wedding photos but their favorites involved the kids as the four of them got some very nice pictures of them together with happy smiles.

Calvin Makes Nix Burst out into hapoy tears as crawls inti her lap and she snuggles him for some photos.
Calvin: Hey Nat! Now that this Married thing is done, Can I finally call you Mom?
Cal’s eyes are brighter than ever in this moment as Nix’s are on fire as she’s choked up but smiling as she holds her little guy tightly while nodding.
Cal: I will take that as a yes!

Rooster delivers a Speech to his friends.
Rooster: To all who have made it today, It has been an honor celebrating my family with all of you.
I stand before you all today having much in common with the Bride and Groom who are truly my Family regardless of our DNA.
Natasha and I go way back as Fighter Pilots and the best of friends.
I had the Privilege to teach her when she got to my unit.
We have been there for each other time and again.
I knew she was something special from early on.

Then, I met a another guy at work who was quiet yet very kind and a team player.
He didn’t act like the rest of us but he didn’t have to because his Pilot looked out for him and saw what we could not at first.
A damn good man.
Once he found out about my Father’s death, He told me all about losing his Wife and how he understands what I have been through.
Bob and I got real close real fast and once I confirmed they liked each other, I had to get them together…
And It has been such a joy watching them love each other, Watching them dance , Tease, and take care of each other.
They may come from different worlds but Robert and Natasha Floyd are the same when it comes to love, loyalty, service, and sacrifice.
So as I raise my glass to Bob and Nat, Please join me in in congratulating Mr. and Mrs. Floyd!.
Everyone cheers while raising their glass and even Bob has a few adult beverages this evening.

 

Phoenix and Bob have a fun filled wedding dinner with Cal in Nix’s Lap as he keeps stealing her and Bobs Oreo Wedding cake but Bob and Nix Decide to double team Cal and smoosh the cake into his cheeks form both sides as everybody laughs.
Shelley then grabs Calvin to give Phoenix and Bob the ourtunity to feed each other which they do without any added drama.
Anyone who has seen these two together before knew they were a lock but today in this moment, Nix’s eyes are brighter than ever before, and her face is full of happiness.
Bob is choked up at her because she seems to stun him with her looks even more as time goes by.
He doesn’t say much but holding her hand an kissing her wildly seems to tell her what he’s thinking.

The evening continues with Marcus and Brenda gifting Bob with a new truck that is completely loaded for his wedding gift.
Bob Dances with Nix to their wedding song “On the Wings of Love”
The two also dance to Billy Joel’s “ The Longest Time.” But Rooster plays it on the piano and sings it to them as one of his wedding gifts.
Bob Makes sure he gets in some good dances with Shelley.
He can’t believe how grown up she is already. He knows she’s going to do great things but he’s also heart broken that she won’t be a child much longer.
He does his best to make every moment count.
Shelley is enjoying the opportunity to spend time with her dad who has truly lightened up and is now a joy to be around.
Calvin and Phoenix are dancing together with huge smiles on their faces while laughing.

The wedding ends as Phoenix and Bob check into a suite for the night and leave for their Honeymoon where they will run a Marathon next week followed by a week in New Zealand.
Mav, Penny, and Rooster will be taking care of the kids while Phoenix and Bob are gone.

As Phoenix and Bob are in the back of their Limo, they have a nice talk.

Phoenix: I cant believe I am finally married! And to the best man I have ever known.
Bob Holds her and kisses her forehead gently but smiles as he pulls away with tears running down his face.

Bob: And I have been gifted with another Wife who loves me and brings me such happiness.
I love you Mrs. Floyd.
I promise to always love you.

Phoenix bows her head and holds bobs hands with hers and catches Bob off guard just a little with a prayer of her own.
Phoenix: God, Thank you for this Man. Thank you for his Children that I can love as if they are my own.
I ask for your guidance and blessing as we move forward together with keeping you first and focusing on family second.
You gave me this Man to show me what truly matters in life and I thank you for that.
But I also ask that you would help us to be wise with our careers and that they would honor your will.
I am blessed beyond measure to marry my best friend today.
Thank you God in your holy name, Amen.

Bob Whispers.
Bob: And Thank you God for this Woman who walks with me as we try to walk in your ways.
Thank you for my Helpmate and help me to Be there for her as well.
Amen.

Phoenix and Bob are quiet but hold each other closely while sharing a smile and snuggling.
Once they get to their suite, they take their time loving on each other and falling asleep as Husband and Wife.
The Honeymoon was full of great times with the marathon being a success and New Zealand was a lot of fun for both of them.
Bob And Natasha Would end up getting pregnant soon after the wedding and have a Baby Girl of their own.
While Bob was concerned about the age gap between Shelley, Calvin, and Natalie ( Their new child) It actually worked in their favor as Shelley got the baby sister she always wanted and while she Looked after Baby Nat, Calvin really ended up impressing Phoenix and Bob with him Leaving part of his wild man ways behind so he could take care of his little sister. He even gave her his stuffed tiger Hobbes which was a gift from His real Mom Carrie.
Calvin had matured greatly in those two years while still having a knack for fun and and adventure but one of the coolest things about all of it was that Phoenix and Cal got even closer as time went on even if he got less snuggles because his baby sister needed them more but Nix would still make time for her “Bonus Boy” and take him out so they could fly her plane or go for a dance.

Nix and Shelley also would improve their Relationship while Shelley called Nix mom once or twice over the years.
Phoenix And Bob’s Marriage would stay very strong and filled with laughter, love, and dancing.
****I am going to end this story with the time jump I just noted and pick up on a Saturday morning where the Floyd Family begins the day with snuggles followed by a massive blanket fort in the lving room as they all enjoy each others company but Nix is also pregnant once again so Bob and Cal are naturally close to her and being the best guys ever.***

Three Years Later.

It’s a Saturday Morning at the Floyd Homestead on Chesapeak Bay.
Phoenix is sitting up in bed catching up on a book she was reading with Bob.
Bob is sound asleep yet he seems to have a light smile on his face.
She can’t resist messing with her guy as she goes to give him a wet willy but Bob is in fact awake and catches her hand in midair as he gives her accusatory eyes.
Bob: We had nice quiet morning together and you wished to wreck it? Gosh!, you think you know a girl!
Phoenix: Oh really? This from the guy who kept shooting me with nerf darts while I was Wrapping the kids presents for Christmas AND YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE HELPING ME!
We had the home all to ourselves as Mel and Roo were watching the kids and we were enjoying a nice quiet evening in with Oreos and the finest wine.
Bob sits up and snuggles nix tightly with a smirk.

Bob: I may have misbehaved sure… But I rarely ever drink so I may have gotten carried away with my goofiness but, we did end up having a very nice evening together.
Phoenix giggles.
Phoenix: The only good part is when I choked your drunk ass out…. AGAIN!
Nah…. It was still a great evening together. I mean im pretty sure that encounter is why were about to have baby number 4.
She points to the big bump in her belly.
Bob gently laughs.
Bob: I never dreamed I would be a father of four but now, I look forward to adding another boy or girl.
But… I know we didn’t find out the gender but I am curious.. What do you think it is?
I think its another girl!
Pheonix: Me too! But you boys are already outnumbered… and yet, you both handlke us girls really well. I think You could both balance another girl.

Bob: For sure my love.
But Nat, I am so proud of Cal! He really stepped it up when Nat was born.
He took on so much more than what was expected with chores, Feeding his sister, changing her diapers, and reading books to her every single night and still to this day.
Pheonix starts to tear up and has a hard time speaking but she manages to whisper in Bobs ear.
Phoenix: And he’s the one that made me believe I could be a Mom. I know he’s not mine but I swear to God he is in my heart.
Bob wipes away her tears with a gentle smile while trying to fight tears of his own.
Bob: You two share an incredible bond that brings me such joy!
You even team up against me from time to time with the nerf wars but I love you both so much for how you embrace each other.

Phoenix: Even if hes the only son we ever have, I wont be disappointed because Calvin is A young man any Mom and Dad would be proud to call thiers.
Bob: And I am so proud of all them! Shelley has really embraced this blended family,new friends, and all the fashion stuff close by but you both really started to bond over surfing after you gave her your old “Josh Hall Twin Fish”.
Phoenix: It’s a legit Board for a Legit young Woman.
She’s really going to be someone someday… She already is with her management skills, no B.S. Attitude, and her loyalty.
Bob: For sure.

Just then, Their bedroom Door opens to see a A two year old Girl bearing a remarkable resmblence to Nix whos running full tilt to the bed with Cal walking behind her with a tired smile to Phoenix and Bob.

Natalie: Bobby Daddy!
Bobs chuckles as he lifts up his little girl for snuggles while sharing a smile.
Natalie then reaches for Nix as well and the three are all smiles but Phoenix motions for Cal to join them as he does but he can only find room next to Nix on the side but gently rest his head against her belly.
The Floyds are all making small talk in bed with smile sof pure joy and small talk filled with laughter.
A few Minutes go by and Shelly appears in the door way.
Shelley: IS IT A BED DAY!?
Phoenix: Yep! We got room for one more!

Shelley: Better yet, BLANKET FORT DOWNSTAIRS !
Calvin and Bob: YES!!!
Shelley: But Im going to make breakfast for eveyboidy first.
Calvin: I will help and I will put on “Frozen” For nat in the kitchen while we cook?
Shelley: Perfect!
Shelley runs downstairs while Cal takes Natalie under his arm but hugs Bob and Kiss es Nix on the Forehead.
Calvin: Enjoy the peace and quiet Parent type-01 and Parent type-03.
Phoenix chcukles:
Phoenix: Smart ass. I love you.
Calvin: Love you too Mom…. And thanks for being a real mom. I will never for get you.
Cal is emotional after saying that but he smiles and goes back to hug her again.
Phoenix: And never doubt your worth to me. You really are my Son.
Bob is all smiles as Cal and Nix hug each other and are full of tears… But Nix has rubbed off on him with her sarcasm.
Bob: Do you guys need a tissue?
Cal and Nix Pull away but smirk at each other as they both poke Bob hard in the ribs and then they fist bump as Cal gets downstairs.

Bob: Thanks for everything God.
Phoenix: Indeed.
Bob?

Bob: Nix?
Phoenix: How am I doing as a wife and mother?
Bob: You are emulating your career as a remarkable fighter pilot here on the ground with me as well. I couldn’t ask for a better wife and mother of my kids.
And ….. oh Boy…..
Bob is lost in thought as he looks over to the Photos of Himself and Carrie with Calvin and Shelley with happy smiles.
He has a look of regret.
Phoenix takes his side and hugs him softly.
Phoenix: You cant compare us.. you said it yourself.
Don’t even try OK? You were different back then.

Bob: Your right. Thank you Love.
Just know that you impress me with all that you are and all that you do.
I love you with all that I have.
But… How am I doing as a Husband and a Father?

Phoenix: Also emulating your career as the best damn WIZZO in the Navy.
This has been all I ever dreamed of yet so much more.
Bob: Kind words.. Thank you. May we always be mindful to pray together and to serve each other.
Phoenix: And always dance the night away whenever possible.
Bob: Of Course!
I love you Natasha.
Phoenix: Love You too Robert.
Bos take Nix hand to help her up and get ready to go down stairs.
But Nix Puts on a slow song and Bob is quick to pick up on the Que as they dance together with the same eyes and smiles just like they had 3 years ago when they decided to walk hand in hand and side by side on the ground.
They both start giggling again but this time, Phoenix and Bob both hold up 3 fingers and both say: What are we, This Many?

The two laugh hard and share a soft kiss that lasts until the end of the song.
They make tier way downstairs to be with their Children and to love each other with all that they have.

The end.

Thanks So much for reading and staying with me after this many weeks.
I hope you got some enjoyment from this story and apologize if I wasted your time.
I hope you all can emulate Phoenix and Bob by just being good to one another regardless if you are different.
That has been one of the reason I loved their characters so much. It didn’t matter that she was Outgoing, Capable, Confident, and Beautiful While he was Quiet, Awkward, yet shy.
They came together and worked well while having each others back.
If they were a true a story, I could see them being life long close friends with nothing romantic but its kinda fun to think of wild stories and employ them.
Thanks again for considering my story and go do awesome Sh!t.
