5 YEARS LATER

Shit! I was so late! Lia was going to be so pissed at me! I had just finished my interview with my company to get a higher promotion which I hoped I would get, which hopefully I will. So much had happened since that day in court, the day in which my life changed for the better.

My brothers always fought against it every six months thought, until I turned 18, in which they could do nothing to me anymore, I mean they tried every now and again to get me fired from my job, or to set me up with a guy who was fake, but soon enough, I was working for a company even bigger than theirs, but I still ran background checks onto everyone I met.

In that time I stayed with Lia and her wife Lola, who was a redhead just like me!. She was so sweet and so excited when she first met, giving me a ton of clothes and going out to get my hair done with me, which I had never done before. They were both the mothers I never had.

I was running through the streets to get to the cathedral as soon as possible.

Cathedral? You ask. Well I'll have you know I met someone. Someone pretty amazing! We met in the university Library, nerdy I know, but ever since I got into my dream uni, I have loved every second of it. I did have to share with a few roommates in the dorms but we were all friends in the end and now we go out every friday for a drink and tell eachother whats been going on in eachother's lives.

Anyway, I was just strolling through the English section, looking for another great book to read, when he accidently bumped right into me, cursing as he did. He apologised over and over again but as soon as we both looked at eachother the words just disappeared. I don't know how long we were staring at eachother but it was without a doubt a long time.

He had wonderful brown hair, he was quite tall but not lanky at the same time. He was broad but he looked like he worked out, just not too much. He has these amazing hazel eyes, which were the things that really caught my attention.

His name is Nathan by the way.

It was so easy after that, I just felt so comfortable with him all the time. We went out for dinner, went to the beach together, went to the woods, we even managed to dance in the rain. It was truly magically. We dated for three years or so before he finally proposed.

Lia and Lola practically interrigated him when he first came over and he was sweating bullets, but in the end they thought he was amazing and totally worth the fuss! Anyway, he had taken me to New York for the weekend for new years eve, in which at midnight he gave me a long kiss and got down on one knee.

I remember the excitement and the shock now, as I ran through the streets with a huge grin on my face. I remember screaming yes over and over again as he pulled me into his arms, spinning me around. We decided to postpone the wedding for a few months though, as we had both just been getting to our dream jobs and uni was still a small factor.

Lia and Lola were over the moon, and Granny was so happy for me! Her daughter had a baby girl in the end, we all went to see her in the hospital. I remember seeing the little bundle, all wrapped up, with everyone smiling and cooeing at her. When I got closer I saw the name tag and ended up crying my eyes at, hugging Granny so hard.

"Tilly".

I cry at the thought now, I always managed to get Tilly a gift for her birthday, she was nearly 4 now, and I'll tell you, that little girl has some sass. Just like her Mum I guess.

Ughh, sorry I nearly got ran over by stupid taxi. I was only a few minutes late and I had plenty of time to get my dress on.

Anyway, it took me one second to look at Tilly to know I wanted lots of children, in the end Lia and Lola adopted three kids, two boys, one who was 14 , Mickey, and his brother who was 9, Brian, and a little 5 year old girl, Heather, who was the most adorable thing in the entire world! She was also super smart and pretty quiet at first, but when she got to know us, she now doesn't shut up!

Lia and Lola were loving their lives, Granny and her kids were loving theirs, and well, I was loving everything about it. Except one thing. Something that really shouldn't bother me on my own wedding day.

Michael.

I had kept up with him throughout the years, as well as his friends, he kind of went of the deep end after court, he got arrested three times before he got thrown into jail for a 8 months for assault against my brothers believe it or not. I have had a few drunken calls from him but I normally answer and tell him to leave me alone.

I did try to ignore him for months on end until I finally picked up and heard the pure desperation in his voice. It made me want to reach out to him, but I knew it was wrong. Especially since everything with Nathan was going so well.

But I will never be able to get his dreamy eyes out of my head. I mean, yes I understand what his father did but he was a tiny child at the time, how was he suppose to know? But it doesn't really matter, he is engaged to a Russian Model, who is tall and slim and pretty. Well good for her I guess. And good for him.

William got remarried by the way! To this wonderful woman, who was so happy and kind all the time, it gave Jodie and Alex a mother at the same time. Jodie is ten now and is honestly thriving, whereas Alex is 13 and coming to that age where everything isn't cool unless he says so. The moody little shit. There wedding was a small one with only close family, so it was an honor to be invited. William quit his job with my brothers, he said it was for me, to show how much he cared, but I know he loved that job.

Anyway back to the present, I was just around the corner from the cathedral, I could see the gates and everyone waiting around for me. I had my dress with me as well, hauling it over my shoulder as I ran. I went into the bathroom next door and quickly put the dress on, applied some light makeup and managed to plait my hair.

I was staring into the mirror, thinking about how much my life was going to change, when the door to the bathroom slammed open, giving me a shock and it also made me squeal in fear. I grabbed my things and put them all into the bag which had my dress inside.

I stood there for a moment, ready to take down any assholes that I needed too. You see, after the whole brothers being controlling thing, I learnt martial arts. Lia took me three times a week and I got really good at it. I was like a boss bitch, just like Lisa. Talking about Lisa, she now has her own gigantic law firm, it's the top in the world now, and she has so many people working for her it's kind of crazy!

My case kinda put her on the map I guess, taking down the Rushwood brothers was a huge thing, I mean most people had no idea it was Lia who actually helped but she didn't complain. We meet up sometimes for a drink and about how things are. She is always so sweet and cool to me, the same as she was five years ago.

Anyway, I was stood waiting to see who would come around the corner, when the door slammed once more and I was left alone. I didn't really know what to do at this point but I just stood in my plac, waiting to see if they would come back. After a few minutes, I realised they were't, grabbed my things and ran to the cathedral.

When I got the doors, Lisa, Lia, Granny and Lola were all stressing out, yelling and arguing with eachother, until they noticed me. Lisa put her hands on her hips in annoyance, but the others gave me a smile, with tears in their eyes.

"And why are you late?", Lisa asked, in a playful pissed off tone.

"Shove it Lisa", Lia practically growled at her, but I could tell she wasn't actually pissed off, as Lisa gave her the finger. I rolled my eyes at their Imaturity but I was smiling on the inside.

"So, darling, are you ready?", Granny asked, picking my hand up and putting everything in it's place, I probably looked a little crazy right now.

"I think so", I said nervously. I was shaking when William came bounding round the corner with a huge grin on his face. As soon as he saw me, his eyes watered but he quickly wiped them. He came over and gave me a huge hug.

"Gosh you look so grown up and beautiful Tills, I just came to wish you look", He said with a huge smile, a few tears falling but he didn't wipe them away. He went to walk back, when I called out for him. He paused and turned around to me in confusion.

"I was um, hoping you would walk me down the Isle?", I quietly asked, watching his face for any sign of disapproval, which turned to be the complete opposite, when his eyes lit up and his grain got even bigger. He rushed over and pulled me into his arms as I laughed.

"Of course I will darling, your like a daughter to me anyway", He said with a smile, letting more and more tears fall, which caused me to start crying.

"Oh No! Stop crying Tilly, you'll ruin your makeup", Lisa said, shaking her head and squatting William away, causing him to laugh and shake his head. Everyone else was lining up, ready to go inside as the music started to play. My bridesmaids went in one by one until it was finally my turn.

Shit I was shaking. I was pulling on my finger through nerves, knowing my future awaited behind those two doors. William linked his arm with mine and gave me a look of reassurence. I smiled at him with gratitude as the doors opened.

As they opened everyone gasped and stood up, all with smiles on their faces. Nathan however was a mess as soon as I started to walk, he was already crying, causing me to cry at the same time. Jesus I though wedding were suppose to be a happy time in your lives, not to cry all the time.

When I got to the end, we did the ceremony, giving eachother our vowels and him kissing me at the end. I couldn't help but think someone was watching me. When I turned I saw someone sat right at the back, invisable to everyone else, just a guy who was sat in a church, but when I saw him stand up to walk away, he turned for moment, revealing those eyes I shall never forget.

Well it was too late for that now, I was a married woman.

Ready for what life had for me.





2 year later

Oh my god. This isn't happening! I was in the bathroom, at three in the morning staring down in horror. I did another and another and another until I knew that it wasn't false.

It was positive. I was sat in complete horror. Noo! I had gotten that job I wanted a few years back and it was finally setting of for me, Nathan had risen quickly in his field as well and I knew neither of us wanted to leave our jobs.

But there was no way I was going to give up this little baby. I already felt the love for it, the need to protect him or her. They were mine after all, my baby, my child. Shit, what was Nathan going to think?

I went to the bedroom to see him fast asleep. Would it be wrong to wake him up in the middle of the night? Nah! I went over and gently gave him a kiss on the cheek, in which he stired and smiled. I did it again and again, until he wrapped his arms under my legs and pulled me onto the bed with him, cuddling into me.

I tried to break free but he clung on harder.

"This isn't good for it you know?", I said quietly, hoping he would hear.

"Good for what?", He asked, with his eyes still closed and half snoring.

"The baby", I said quickly, causing him to jolt up towards and pull me into him. He was looking at me with total shock untill he started to smile.

"Are you joking with me Tills?", He whispered, tears starting to form. I just shook my head with tears forming myself. He all of a sudden started to jump up and down onto the bed, completely overloaded with excitement. I laughed as he did, he started to cheer in joy as I watched him.

"You are amazing do you know that? So fucking amazing!", He said once more, jumping down pulling me closer to him. He just looked so happy.

"When can we find out if it's a boy or a girl?", He asked.

"I dunno, why", I said to him.

"I just wanna know if I've got myself a mini me, or a mini you!", He said smiling, it was like he couldn't stop. He put his hand gently on my stomach and drew circles.

"We can check at the doctors tommorow if it's true", He said quickly, his excitment still there. He pulled me closer and kissed my kneck, tucking his head into the crook. I was grinning ear to ear, knowing that he was so happy about the baby.



6 months later: Doctors Office

"Are you ready to see your baby?", The doctor asked me. I gave him a small nod as Nathan was practically buzzing. He had been so kind and helpful throughout these six months, getting me anything I needed, offering to do all the cleaning and the cooking, in which I said no too, I didn't clean anyway, I just ordered a maid, but don't tell him that.

"Yes please Doctor!", Nathan said, as she smiled at him. She put some gel onto my stomach and all of a sudden an image popped up onto the screen. It was odd, but I could kind of see her or him.

"Oh", The doctor said in surprise, as Nathan clenched onto my hand tighter.

"WHAT? What's wrong?", Nathan asked in confusion and pretty quickly as I just waited for her answer.

"Congratulations, you are pregnant with triplets", The doctor said, which caused Nathan to drop my hand and his mouth open in shock. After a second he came out of his daze and jumped up and down screaming as I was still processing what she had just said.

"Girls or boys, or both!?", I asked her quickly. She smiled at me as Nathan came back to hold my hand, eagerly waiting for her answer.

"There are two twin boys, and a baby girl", She said with a smile, turning the machine off and wiping my stomach.

"BOTH! HONEY DID YOU HEAR THAT!", Nathan said jumping up and down once more. The doctor left the room after she did so.

"Yep.",I said quietly. He noticed my doubt and held both of my hands in his.

"What;s wrong sweetheart?", He asked me in concern. I stared at his happy face, his eyes were completely lit up and he was so excited.

"What if I'm not a good mother Nathan? I mean one baby I can deal with, but three? At the same time? I mean it's amazing and I don't regret having them at all, but what if I can't give them the love they deserve?", I asked him, with tears staring to pool.

"Don't be crazy, you are the most loving and selfless person I've ever met, if anyone could love these babies it's you! And remember, I'm here the entire time.", He said with a grin as I nodded at him.

"So name wise, what do you think of superman?", He asked, as I just rolled my eyes at him.

"No way in hell", I replied, rubbing my now huge stomach, thinking about the near future.



two months later

"Just one more push", The nurse screamed out at me. I screamed in pain as I felt one come out.

"It's a boy!", She yelled and passed it onto the next doctor. She told me to keep pushing until I managed to push another one out.

"Another boy!", She said and told me to push once more. Nathan was holding my hand, telling me to push as well. This one was the hardest but after a few minutes, I felt it come out into the nurses arms. I sighed in relief as I set my legs down, Nathan giving me a kiss on the forehead and then rushing over to see them.

The nurses buddled them up in their blue and pink clothes and brought them over to me. They were so gorgeous all huddles up together.

"Can you give us a minute alone with them?", I asked everyone, as they nodded and left the room. Granny, Lisa, Lola and Lia were all waiting outside, practically fighting the doctors to get through. But it was was to occupied to be worried about them getting arrested.

I was staring down at my beautiful babies. Both boys looked just like their father, whereas my little girl looked just like me, she even had a little whisp of ginger hair coming out, with blonde eyebrows and big green eyes looking up at me. The boys however were starting to cry, so Nathan took one off me as he cradled them.

"They are so amazing sweetheart", He said, and started to cry staring down at them.

"I'll love them until I die amd even after that", He said inbetween tears as I just rolled my eyes at him. He was so dramatic but I knew he truly meant it.

At that moment, Granny and the other rushed into the room and over to the babies. They all asked for permission to pick them up.

"What are their names?", They asked. I looked at nathan and he nodded.

"Well, meet Joey and Christopher", I said with a huge smile, clutching onto my little girl. They all smiled and motioned to her.

"And this is Faye", I said, grinning at her as she let her eyes rest.

"Like?", Granny asked. I nodded in aproval.

"Just like my mother", I said with a huge grin. I didn't know what to do with them to be honest, did they need something to eat? Were they tired?

All I did know, is that I would love them till the end of time, and as long as they knew that, that's all what really mattered to me.

My beautiful Faye, Joey and Christopher.
