"Boys.. boys.". I get no attention from the three males at the table before I slam my hand down on the table, scaring Stella in my lap. "Could you keep it down, there are other people here".

Zac looks at me looking slightly embarrassed. "Sorry darling".

"Yeah you should be, the two others are excused by their age, but you are supposed to be the adult here". I say shaking my head, but I can't help smiling. "What are you having ?"

We have taken Jack and Asher with us out for dinner, giving their parents some time of to relax. And I am kind of feeling like I am here with three teenage boy and a baby girl.

"Yeah sorry". Jack say looking at me. "But it was all Zac's fault though, he started it".

"Well, I don't have a hard time believing that". I say looking at my husband. How amazing he is, he tend to be a bit.. Well childish and over excited at times.

They actually start looking at their menus, and my head gets a moment to breathe, before Asher cracks a joke and they are all at it again.

I look at them shaking my head. Actually I love seeing how Zac cares for the boys, almost as if they were his own. And they clearly look up to him alot. He is a great role model for them.

When the waiter comes, we actually manage to order and when the drinks comes Zac lifts his glass. "I actually have news to share".

"What is it ? Would it have something to do with the very long and very secret conversation you had with Tom earlier ?" I look at him curious.

"Well, yeah it actually does". He sends me a big grin. "Tom happens to be directing his first movie soon, a really big one actually and guess who he wants as his leading man".

"Hmm Tom Cruise". Jack suggest making Asher snort Coke out his nose with laughter.

Zac rolls his eyes. "Well Thank you for the vote of confidence guys. Me of course. He called to offer me the lead".

"Ignore them.. congratulations babe". I smile at him. I am always proud when he gets a part and I am excited for Tom that he gets to direct. "So what kind of movie is it ?"

"Well it's a drama I would say.. and it's a remake, so it is a bit of a chance to take". He looks very secretive.

This is sounding more and more exciting. "Oh, so you get to show more of Your dramatic skills, that sounds great".

"Dramatic skills ?" Asher is trying to keep a straight face. "Like what, farting the national anthem ?"

Zac glare at the kids laughing. "You know what, now I am not going to tell you anything else".

"Guys come on, don't tease him". I take Zac's hand, looking at the boys. "It's not very nice".

This time Zac rolls his eyes at me. "Yeah just sound like I am going to sit and cry in the corner".

"Okay.. no more fun". Jack slaps Asher on the leg, when he doesn't stop laughing. "So what movie is it Zac ?"

My dear husband looks all excited and seems to have forgot that he was offended. "It is.. 'Gone with the wind'"

I gasp slightly but the two kids just look at each other and Asher goes. "Uhh is that the one with the toad and the badger and stuff ?"

I can't help laughing. "No you doofus, that is 'The wind in the willows'. 'Gone with the wind' is one of the greatest tragic love stories of all time, and one of the most Oscar winning movies ever".

"Oh wow, that actually do sound dope". Jack say, then he looks like a lightbulb goes on in his head. "Oh it's the one with the chick who goes through the war by wearing the drapes right ?"

This time Zac is the one snorting with laughter and I can't help laughing too. "Well I guess you can say that. It's probably the shortest recap of the movie ever.. but yeah".

"I saw some of it last christmas with my mom". Jack say, sipping from his coke. "So you are going to be that sneaky guy with the moustache right ? Not the sleazy one that marries his cousin".

Zac chuckles. "Yeah, the sneaky guy with the moustache.. I do hope to talk Tom out of the stache though".

I reach out to take Zac's hand, smiling at him. "I am so proud of you babe, you deserve every recognition you get. And I am excited for Tom too, he must be so happy".

"Oh he could barely contain himself. He has wanted to get into directing for some time". Zac's thumb is rubbing over the back of my hand.

"So do you know where you will filming it ?" That's the only problem with his job, the risk that I could be without him for months at a time.

He lifts my hand to kiss it, he seems to have forgotten that the boys are there. "Actually, Tom wants to film a lot of it in Texas.. so I'll be close to home most of the time".

"Oh poor Maddie". I am happy Zac will be close, but I feel for Maddie. "She is going to miss Tom and little Anele too".

"Honestly I don't get Tom can do it.. I mean here I have you and Stella with me and filming in Texas I will be home most nights.. Tom will be away for months, and with Maddie working". Zac sigh. "I couldn't".

I bite my lip. "So you saying you think Maddie should quit working to follow Tom around ?"

He shakes his head. "No I am saying that I am more than happy that you choose that".

"Me too, I loved my work, but I love you and Stella more and I need to be where you are". I lean in kissing him softly.

The boys start whooping and Asher chuckles. "Oh to have a love like that one day, ain't they cute ?"

Zac reaches out, placing his hand in Ashers face, pushing him back in the chair, then he mumbles on my lips. "Shut up Ash".
