“Let’s stay here in this spot  for every Ry”, his husband said looking at the ‘ocean’ that the Eridians made for him, over 35 years ago. Ryland looked at the older man sitting on the rock next to him, his brown eyes tired with laughter and smile lines visible from years of having to deal with the stupid things he has done and said over the years of their relationship. Wrinkles on his forehead are prominent right now and his hair is barely holding on to its original black. Scars cover the left side of his face and a jagged tooth smile is prominent. His cane sits next to him leaning up against the rock he is sitting on. He fidgets with his necklace as he breathes in and out slowly, tears build up in the corners of his eyes.

“We’ll stay as long as we can Simon, but I believe our daughter would like us to be present when she is sent off,” Ryland told his spouse. How did he get so old so quickly, he forgot how old he really was without the time dilation he experienced on his trip but he felt at least in his late 60’s now. “How did we get here, two humans living on an alien planet, having a daughter, and more importantly raising her.” Simon mused to the man next to him, in the wheelchair with the beautiful blue eyes that have bags under them, his hair fully grey now. “Where has the time gone, Ry, yesterday I could’ve sworn our girl was just born”. He rests his hand on his spouses. “I don’t know Sims, I don’t know”.
