Her First Love

                                    

                                          
(This is a bit of an AU because Ed and Lorraine have more kids other than Judy because....Why not? And plus, we all know they'd DEFINITELY have more kids if they could've.
When Lorraine was a young girl, she always dreamed of finding her prince or knight in shining armor. She always wanted to have a big family; a bunch of kids, a loving, handsome husband and a large house with a white picket fence. 
As she grew up, Lorraine always promised herself that when she was older and had a daughter who'd one day ask "Who was your first love?", she wouldn't have to pull out an old album to point at a picture. That she'd be able to just point across the room and say "He's sitting right over there".
Lorraine had crushes on boys but, she never felt a connection to any of them until she was a teenager, going out with her girlfriends to see a movie. 
As soon as her bright blue eyes looked up into his ocean blue eyes, she felt a spark she had never felt before. There was a strong connection she felt towards him and she knew he could feel it too. When he asked her out for ice cream later that night and kissed him in the rain, it felt like fireworks going off. She had never been so happy and in love.
Years later, Lorraine watched as her daughter played around in the grass trying to catch butterflies in her little net while her sons were wrestling each other on the side. The baby next to her cooed softly, crawling around making her smile as she looked at him.
"I know, bubba. Look at the pretty blue sky." Lorraine spoke softly, pointing up at the sky as the blue eyes of her baby boy followed her finger. The baby sat and clapped his chubby hands making her giggle and pull him into her lap, tickling his little tummy making the baby laugh.
"Mommy! Mommy! I finally caught one!" The six-year old cheered happily as she ran over to her mother to show the butterfly she caught in her net.
Lorraine grinned at her daughter. "Good job, baby. Now set it free so it can fly up high to new adventures." Her daughter giggled as she sat down on the bottom step from where her mother sat and opened the net, the two of them watching as the beautiful orange butterfly flapped its wings and flew away.
"Goodbye, pretty Butterly."
The mother sighed happily as she held the now sleeping baby in her arms and watched her daughter run off to her sons, the three of them running around the lawn trying to tag each other.
After a while, warm air started to blow and the temperature started to rise. The three kids panted  as they came to their mother, sitting down on the bottom steps trying to catch their breaths.
"Having fun?"
"Mama, it's hot." Her oldest said, fanning himself as he leaned back onto the steps and laid down. Her daughter nodded before resting her head on her mother's knee, smiling when she felt her mother run her fingers through her long, brown hair.
"Can we turn on the water and run through it?" Lorraine's second eldest son said, looking at her with puppy dog eyes. She chuckled and shook her head.
"Not today, hon. I don't want the three of you getting sick before the big dinner this weekend."
The three kids groaned and continued fanning themselves. Sitting in a few minutes of silence, Lorraine looked down at her daughter and could sense something was on her mind.
"What's wrong, pretty girl?"
Her daughter shrugged and looked up at her, "Mommy."
Lorraine chuckled and said, "Yes?"
"Who was your first love?"
Her mother let out a laugh and kissed her cheek. "Why do you ask, Judy?"
"Nothin'...I was just asking." 
Lorraine smiled as she played with the ends of Judy's hair, her sons now listening to the conversation. Just as she was about to answer, they noticed the truck pulling into the driveway. She smiled brightly when her handsome man got out and started walking towards them, opening the gate with a mirrored smile. 
She lifted her hand and pointed, "That's him right there." Her sons ran to her husband and jumped into his opens arms before swinging them around.
"Hey, buddies!" He exclaimed happily and walked over to where his girls and baby boy was. He leaned down and smothered Judy with kisses all over her face and then smirked at his wife.
"Hello, gorgeous."
"Hi, my love." Lorraine grinned, falling more in love with her husband as he looked down at her lovingly. Ed leaned in and kissed his beautiful wife with all the passion and love he has for her. He looked at the sleeping baby in her arms and chuckled. 
"He's always asleep when I come home." He said, taking the baby from her arms and cradling him to his chest before sitting down on the steps with the other three kids; the two boys leaning on each shoulder and watching the baby while Judy sat between her mothers legs and leaned on her knee. 
"Mommy said you were her first love, Daddy." Judy said with a grin making Ed look up and smile. 
"Did she now?"
"Yes, daddy. I asked her who her first love was and she pointed directly at you."
Ed and Lorraine looked at each other and a wide grin showed on their faces. 
"Your mommy was my first love as well."
Their eldest son gasped, "Tell us how you met again!"
"Yeah, daddy, tell us!"
Ed chuckled, "No, that's a long story."
Their second son groaned, "Oh, c'mon, daddy! You know it's our favorite story." Ed looked at his wife who smirked at him. He just let out another chuckle and said, "One day, a long time ago..."
Lorraine watched proudly and in love as her husband told the story of how they met years ago. Their kids leaning on them, listening closely while their youngest slept in Ed's large arms, cradled to his chiseled chest. 
Yep, she was still in love with her first love.
