The Holiday That Changed My Life

Part One Hundred and Seventy Eight

Astons P.O.V.

"Daddy!!"

It's been three years now since the twins first birthday, making them four years old. In that time Luce had gone on to be one of the worlds top designers, alongside Jeremy Scott, Gucci and her ultimate favourite Marc Jacobs. I was so proud of her and so were the girls, they loved going to their Mums shows and sitting front row. The first few times they were quite loud whenever they saw their Mum out there but after a few more trips they got into the habit of only being loud when everyone else was loud.

As for me, the band split up three years ago and sure it was a hard time when it happened but I've had enough time to come to terms and get over it. It didn't bother the girls that much because they we're just babies at the time. They've obviously seen the plaques and awards around the house and asked questions, so me and Luce told them whenever they asked, showed them videos and everything. It got to a point where I was sick of hearing my own voice Ava asked to watch the DVDs that much, but watching her and Soph dance and sing along to it was really cute, especially the way they acted when I was shown on the DVD.

But right now I've just come home from a week in Dubai where Marv was doing a DJ set and he'd invited me along with the rest of the boys so it turned out to be a lads holiday. I missed my girls so much, FaceTime just wasn't enough.

"Soph!" I grinned, crouching down as Soph ran at me before I wrapped my arms around her. "I've missed you so much."

"Missed you too." Soph giggled as she stepped back and I stood up straight, pulling my suitcase in and closing the front door.

"Where's your sister?" I asked, taking my jacket off.

"She's with Mummy and Ethan in the living room," Soph said before taking my hand and dragging me into the living room. "Mummy look, Daddy's back!"

"Hey buddy." I smiled as Ethan toddled over to me and stretched his arms up before I picked him up.

Ethan's our two year old son, Luce found out that she was pregnant in the June after the twins turned one and he was born shortly after the twins' second birthday. We didn't plan Ethan like we did with the twins, we actually thought we wouldn't have any more after the girls so he was a great surprise. It was an even better surprise when he was born and the doctor handed him to us and told us it was a boy, we were so certain we were going to have another girl but I was ecstatic that I now had a son too.

"Daddy!" Ava grinned as she jumped up off the floor and ran over to me.

"Hey princess." I smiled, crouching down again as she hugged my legs so that I could give her a proper hug.

"Did you have fun?" Luce asked, attempting to tidy up a few of the kids' toys.

"Yeah, I missed these guys though." I smiled as Soph came over to join in the little group hug.

"I don't doubt it, they missed you too. Ethan's been like a broken record, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy all week long." Luce laughed, rolling her eyes as I smiled down at Ethan.

"Tell you what, why don't you two tidy your toys away and I'll give you the presents I got from my trip," I told the girls before they went over to their toys. "You gonna go help your sisters little man?"

I put Ethan down on the floor before I stood up and he went over to Soph and Ava who were busy putting their toys in their individual toy boxes; a purple one with Sophia engraved on it, a pink one saying Ava and a blue one saying Ethan. I looked at Luce and nodded my head to the direction of the kitchen. Luce went into the kitchen and I made my way there when I heard Soph say,

"Ethan don't!" I turned around and Soph was pushing him away from his toy box.

"Soph don't push your brother." I told her as Ethan went back to his toy box.
