Valentina's pov

"But dad, the twins can literally go to every party and they're two years younger!" I hear my second born daughter, Arabella, argue with my husband. 

"I don't care, Bella. You're not going to the party." he argues back to which I shake my head. 

Arabella groans before stomping her way over to me. I know she would. 

"Mom, dad is being unfair." she says as she stops behind me. 

I stop with cooking and turn to face the rest of the kitchen. I find the twins sitting at the kitchen island with two of their friends, and my eldest daughter Sofia also sitting at the kitchen island. The boys all have amused looks on their faces while Sofia seems to agree with Arabella. 

"What seems to be the problem?" I ask her as my husband stands behind her with his arms crossed. 

"There is a party tonight and dad won't let me go." she says with an angry face. 

"Who will be there, and from what time to what time?" I ask her. 

"My friends. And it's from ten to max one in the morning. I won't go home alone." she tells me and I nod. 

"Raf, why can't she go?" I ask my husband as I walk over to him.  

"Because it's not safe." he says, trying not to give in to me. 

"But the twins are going to a party tonight as well, and they're two years younger. Seems a bit unfair." I tell him as I wrap my arms around his waist. 

"It's still not safe." he tries again but I can see his resolve melting. 

"If we let her go, we have the house to ourselves tonight." I whisper in his ear as I stand on my tippy toes. 

He softly groans before wrapping his arms around my waist and nuzzling into my neck. He leaves a few kisses there as he holds me close. 

"You're evil. Very dangerous." he whispers to me to which I chuckle.

"But you love it." I say to him. 

"I do, I love you." he says as he looks into my eyes with a fond smile.

"I love you too." I say before he kisses me.

"Ew! Stop, my eyes!" One of the twins, Antonio, says dramatically. 

"I'm scarred for life!" the other twin, Pablo, joins in.

We break apart and I laugh at my kids. I love them a lot. They are my pride and joy, as cliche as that sounds. I can't believe everything that has happened in the past twenty years. After a year, I got pregnant with Sofia. It was unplanned but I don't regret a single thing. A year later, Raf proposed and we got married. He off course had to get me pregnant on our honeymoon. I got pregnant with Arabella. Two years later, I got pregnant with the twins. It was a journey but I'm so unbelievably happy. And Raf and I are still so obsessed with each other, I couldn't have asked for a better husband. Leo and Ally got married a few years after us and they have the cutest kids now. They are a few years younger than ours. Alicestar and Maggie retired and live in Spain, in the house that my grandparents lived in. They sadly passed away about seven years ago. It was very hard on me but Raf and the kids were all there for me. I still run the company with a lot of joy. Raf and my company actually made an alliance. We even did a line together. Izzy actually fell in love with Kelly. Turns out Kelly was gay, but Elijah had made her suppress it. They are the cutest together. They got married two years after us but decided not to have children, instead they have two dogs. Sierra is the best grandma ever. And she has kind of become a mother figure. The workers at Elijah's house have spread around the world, but Sarah comes to visit every few months. 

"Baby?" I hear Raf's voice call out.

"Yeah?" I say to him as I get out of my head. 

"They asked a question." he says with a smile. "Bella asked you if she can go?" he says reluctantly.

"Yes, you can go baby." I tell her with a smile.

She squeals before engulfing me in a hug. I laugh at her antics as she runs up the stairs, saying something about calling her friends. 

"Dude, your dad is whipped." one of my sons' friends says. 

"Shut up." Raf grumbles.

"It's okay to be whipped, Raf." I tease him but he just hugs me to him, nuzzling into my neck again. 

"Just wait until you find your woman, boys." Raf grumbles from my neck. 

"No woman can please me." one of the boys says proudly. 

"Oh you just wait. Some day, a girl will crush your ego and you'll be begging for her." Sofia chimes in with a knowing smile. 

"Yeah right." the boys say with a roll of their eyes. 

"It's true. You should have seen some of my friends' boyfriends. It was honestly laughable." Sofia defends. 

They end up in an argument on the topic. Typical. They always find a way to have an argument with each other but ten minutes later, it's all good again.

"I love you, I love the kids, I love our life." Raf whispers into my neck. 

"I love you too, I love the kids too and I love our life too. We really outdid ourselves." I whisper back with a smile.

"You're the most amazing woman ever." he says as he pulls away a little before tucking away a strand of my hair. 

"You're the most amazing man ever." I tell him with a cheeky smile. 

He shakes his head before kissing me. Not a full on make-out session since the kids are here but you get the idea. We pull away and rest our foreheads on each other. I couldn't have wished for a better family. 

"You are the only woman... no person, that can break my resolve." he says as he rubs circles on my hip.

"Am I now?" I ask him teasingly.

"Jup. But I don't hate it." he says with a smile. 

"Good." I say before we hug and watch our family argue about nothing. 

Everything is amazing.
