"Frank, could you come in here and help me? I'm not making any progress at all in here!", Pat called as she dipped Brandon's spoon in the baby food and made yet another attempt to feed him.

"Sure sweetheart!", Frank yelled as he approached Pat in the kitchen, taking the spoon and trying to put it in Brandon's mouth. "There we are!", Frank said, quite proud of his accomplishment.

"Oh! There he goes again", Pat laughed as Brandon spit the food out on his high chair. "I think this kid wants to starve!"

"Nah.. Just relax", Frank reassured her as he dipped the spoon into the jar for another try.

"Dah dah", Brandon said.

Frank looked a Pat, his eyes lighting up as a smile made its way across his face.

"Did he say what I think he said?", Fran asked Pat.

"He said 'dah dah'", Pat laughed. "He said 'dah dah'".

"Let's celebrate!", Frank chuckled as he hurried into the living room and popped in his favorite cd in the player.

Patricia followed him into the living room and giggled when he spun her around and grabbed her hand to dance to the song, "I'll always be with you."

"What about Brandon?", Pat laughed, gazing over Frank's shoulder.

"He's not going anywhere! Besides, we can see him from here", he snickered, pulling his wife closer to him and dancing slowly in the living room on that cold, winter day.

"Though my world may tumble all around.. Though I may stumble to the ground.. no matter what should happen and no matter what I do.. I promise you.. I'll always be with you", Frank sang along as the song went to the chorus. "I'll always be with you."

"If there should come a day.. that I am taken away.. we will never part.. Please keep me in your heart.. because I promise you.. I promise you... I'll always be with you.. I'll always be with you", Pat joined as she sang the other half of the chorus.

"I promise you, Pat..", Frank smiled as he held her hands between his, "I'll always be with you.. and I'll always love you."

Patricia smiled back at her husband and with a simple kiss on the bottom of his chin replied back,"I'll always love you too, Frank."

"Uh oh! The wife's getting sentimental on me!", Frank teased.

"Hey! You started it!!", she teased back.

"I have no idea what you're talking about", he joked.

Without giving his wife a chance to reply back, he spun her around quickly and ended his freshly-created dance routine by dipping his wife down, nearly touching her head to the floor.

"Pull me back up, you big jerk!", Pat laughed at her husband. "All the blood's starting to rush to my head.

"What do you say??", Frank teased his wife again.

"Frank, come on!! This seriously is uncomfortable!", she complained, but continued laughing.

"Can't be that uncomfortable if you can't remember the magic word!", Frank laughed.

"Allright allright!! PLEASE??"

"Sorry, Pattie.. don't think I caught that. What'd you say?", he smiled.

"PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!", she called out.

With a laugh, Frank pulled his wife up and kissed her forehead.

"Oh, now you try to make nice?!", Pat laughed. "Well, I'm not falling for that again!"

"Ahh, come on baby! You know you love me", Frank smiled.

Patricia couldn't help but laugh at her over-confident husband and remembered the first time she saw him in that bowling alley just a few years ago. 'Sometimes', she thought to herself, 'he's still that confident and comedic teenager... thank God! It's why I fell in love with him and I think he knows it.'

With that, she couldn't help but smile again.

"What's that about?", Frank asked suspiciously.

"Nothing", Pat replied, knowing that her admission would just make his head blow up that much further. "Absolutely nothing."
