The Best Mistake

Epilogue

Six Months later

I hummed gently as I piped the icing on the cupcakes. The house was buzzing with people and noise as the backyard was being used as a mini amusement park. I must admit I'm thankful for all the extra help, last year was so hectic planning the girl's party by myself and now I can actually relax. Today is Lily's and Peppa's third birthday and I could hardly believe how big my little girls are getting. They have grown so much and have gotten more beautiful as each day passes. This year's theme is all about their new obsession. While they do still love cocomelon, there was something else that grabbed their attention unexpectedly, Trolls. The girls go on and on about the Trolls movies and watch them continuously without ever getting tired. I'm pretty sure they can quote it word for word. The party is being held at the Reynolds family home this year and I couldn't be happier about it. Between multiple play dates and other activities, they've made a lot of friends and are so eager to be able to play with them all. Besides the girls, let me bring you up to speed on what occurred these last few months. I am in the process of publishing my very first book. Yes, you read it right, my own book. While I am still an editor at R.P, I am no longer Caleb's assistant, that position was now occupied by Catherine herself. Their relationship has been going so well and at first, I was skeptical about her holding onto the position but so far they've been working together with ease. I guess that's the most important thing. I work mostly from home and during important meetings I take the drive down to Vancouver. It gave me more time with not only the girls but also my second little family. I was so lost in thought that I was caught off guard when strong arms wrapped around my waist firmly. I didn't have to look to see who it was when the familiar sparks coursed through my body. I smiled and sighed lightly.

"You smell delicious." He whispered in my ear.

I giggled lightly, "I smell like cake and frosting."

"Exactly." He purred before placing a light kiss on my neck. Things between Mason and I have been great, more than great actually. If you hadn't guessed it yet, the girls and I moved in with him. I know it seemed kind of rushed but by New Year’s Day we both agreed that it would be the best choice for the girls and us. I had my doubts at first, but Mason was always sure that we'd work out, and it was his confidence that silenced my doubts. Making the move from Vancouver to Seattle wasn't as drastic as I thought it would be. There are times my mom and Joey came down for the weekend or sometimes we go to visit them. They even took the girls off of our hands a few weekends ago. It was an easy adjustment and the girls were ecstatic to be living with their dad permanently. We've had our share of ups and downs but no matter what we always found a way to communicate and work it out. Mason has brought nothing but positivity and healthy communication skills into our relationship. The best part of working from home was being able to be with him and girls. Sometimes he'd randomly say, "Let's go on a trip" and he and I along with the girls would travel somewhere just for a family vacation. It was the best feeling ever.

"These cupcakes look beautiful love."

"Why thank you. It's all a part of the theme."

"Alright alright, enough of that." Marie giggled as she shoved Mason away from me. "Start carrying out the food, the guests are starting to arrive." 

Mason groaned lightly and placed a kiss on my cheek before moving. "Alright fine. I'll have my fun later." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Are you done with the cupcakes dear?" Marie asked.

"Yes I am. He can take those out also, I'm going to get cleaned up."

I was about to leave the kitchen when two colorful little people clashed to my legs. Those colorful people were none other than my two girls. They were dressed in multicolored tutus and neon pink t-shirts with the number 3 printed on the front. Of course, the trolls characters were designed all over their shirts also.
