Chapter 10 - The Ultimate Wealth
A year later, the backyard of the Harrison home was filled with laughter, music, and the delicious scent of a summer barbecue.
It was Ethan and Noah’s fifth birthday.
The yard was decorated with star-shaped balloons and planetary banners. Victoria Harrison sat on the patio, smiling warmly as she watched her grandsons play tag on the lawn. Emma’s friends from the school were there, along with some of the neighborhood children.
Nathan stood by the grill, wearing a goofy apron that said "The Rocket Boss"—a gift from the twins.
Emma walked up behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist and leaning against his back. "The birthday boys are demanding chocolate cake."
Nathan turned around in her arms, kissing her forehead. "The cake is ready. I just need to light the candles."
Suddenly, Ethan and Noah ran up to them, their faces covered in grass stains and pure joy.
"Daddy! Daddy!" Noah yelled, tugging on Nathan’s apron. "Come see! There's a big bird in the treehouse!"
Nathan laughed, kneeling down to scoop both of his boys into his arms. He lifted them effortlessly, one on each hip, their giggles filling the warm afternoon air.
He looked at Emma, whose eyes were bright with love and happiness, and then at his sons, who were safe, healthy, and thriving.
