Easter was approaching quickly. And it was my favorite holiday of them all. Daisy was about to be two months old.

I had an odd feeling like everyone had been acting  weird lately.

Nicholas was at a red carpet event for his movie he was filming when I found out I was pregnant. I wasn't able to go with him because Daisy was still so small.

I went for my postpartum checkup with my OB. It was at eight weeks instead of six because of scheduling conflicts.

I had to wear a hoodie and sunglasses for safety so I wouldn't get recognized.
When I was called to the back the nurse asked "have you gotten your period yet?"

I responded, "no I haven't started since I stopped bleeding after birth yet."

"Okay we'll do a quick pregnancy test and we'll check it when the doctor comes back in."

I sat there waiting for my doctor to come in. She finally came in and did my checkup and she said "everything looks good, now let's look at this test."

She grabbed the test and looked at me and said "looks like you're having another baby."

I was in shock. I wasn't expecting this. She congratulated me and told me to make appointments in the front. I just stood there in shock because I couldn't believe I was having another baby so soon.

I went back home and tried to figure out a way to tell Nicholas that we were going to have another baby.
Easter was on Sunday and I decided I wanted to do something special to announce to Nicholas and my family that I was expecting again.

Easter Sunday came and I was so nervous to share the news.
Olivia and Matthew did an egg hunt in our backyard. We had the Easter bunny come and take pictures with the kids.

Everything was going so perfectly. The kids really enjoyed the holiday.

I turned and Nicholas was on one knee.
"From the moment I saw you, I knew you were the one for me. I never met anyone like you. So smart, beautiful, and talented. Waking up next to you every morning is the best thing ever. Our family that we built is everything I could have ever dreamed of. Matthew and Olivia may not be biologically mine, but I love them like they are and I would love to be their father legally if they would allow me too." Both kids excitedly nodded their heads. Nicholas continued, "You have never gotten mad when I have to work or have an event going on. You are supportive in what I love to do. You tell me the instant that something bothers you. You are the woman of my dreams. And I am so glad I met you and that you gave me not only a beautiful daughter but another daughter and son and life that feels like a dream. You are perfect in every single way to me. Will you marry me?"

Oh my lanta. Nicholas just asked me to marry him. And he wants to adopt my kids. And he said a ton of super sweet things. And I'm pregnant again. Oh my goodness, I haven't told him I'm pregnant yet. Maybe I'll say yes and then be like 'surprise I'm pregnant,' yeah I'll do that.

"YES!" I yelled.

He put this beautiful ring on my finger. It was an almond shape and it was a lavender color with beautiful diamonds all the way around.

I gave him a hug and kissed him as he twirled me around.

"I have something to tell you." I said.

He gave me a serious look and said "what is it?"

"I'm pregnant."

His serious look instantly turned into a joyful face. He was so happy. "I hope it's a boy, but I'll be happy with another girl too."

We were such a happy family at this moment.

Three months passed and Nicholas became Olivia and Matthew's legal father. He actually adopted them and it was the sweetest gesture ever especially since they already called him dad.

During this time we had our first sonogram.
"Everything is looking so great, wait there's something there" the sonographer said.

"Is something wrong?" I asked.

She then went to turn on the tv.

I looked up with watery eyes. I was nervous that something was wrong.

As me and Nicholas looked at the tv we could see two circles with the shapes of babies in them.

"There they are,  twins." The sonographer said. "Do you want to know the genders?"

We both nodded.

"Baby A is a girl, and Baby B is also a girl."

Nicholas looked like he was about to pass out at that second. I had tears in my eyes. We heard the heartbeats and I began to happy cry.

I know Nicholas wanted a boy but twin girls was definitely a blessing.

We decided to hold off the wedding until the twins were born.

The twins were born at 36 weeks by induction. It was an easy birth and everything went according to plan. We named the twins Phoebe and Delilah.

When the twins were five months old we had our dream wedding.
It was beautiful. It was an outside wedding with flowers everywhere. There was an arch where he stood. My mom and my son walked me done the aisle. My dress was all white with a tail in the back. It was an off shoulder dress with lace sleeves that went down three-fourths of my arms. The dress was sleek and beautiful. It has lace embroidered all over it. My veil was longer than my dress and it was so beautiful and had some spots with minor glitter. I walked in white converse because my feet could not do heels.

As I walked down the aisle I looked at Nicholas and saw his big smile with tears running down his face. As I made it to the front I gave my mom and son a hug and they went to sit down. Nicholas grabbed my hands and told me I looked so beautiful. He wiped his eyes and the ceremony began.

We then had a dance with our friends and family. We were announced to our guests as Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Galitzine. I couldn't believe it. I was officially married to Nicholas Galitzine. It was a dream.

We were handed microphones.

Nicolas began singing Perfect by Ed Sherran..

'I found a love
For me.
Darling, just dive right in
And follow my lead'

I began to sing too..
'Well, I found a boy,
beautiful and sweet'

'I never knew you were the someone waiting for me
'Cause we may be kids
But we're so in love
Fighting against all odds
I know we'll be alright this time
Darling, just hold my hand
Be my girl, I'll be your man (be my man)
I see my future in your eyes'

We began to waltz and continued to sing. It was the most beautiful and sweetest thing ever. The wedding and reception was all just perfect. Ed Sherran's Perfect became our song.

Later that evening I saw that our performance that we were doing to each other by singing was everywhere. Someone posted it online and it blew up. Even news stations were covering it. It was big. But everything was all good because it was good publicity and this day was about mine and Nicholas' love with each other and a beautiful family that we have created.

A year later, I gave birth to a boy named Liam Bryan Galitzine.

Nicholas had been wanting to have a boy for a while; because he and Matthew were surrounded by girls. We had decided we weren't going to have any more kids a few months after I had Liam. My OB recommended it first because of all my complications with the first three and then my age so it was becoming a bigger risk factor.

We loved having kids but we were also very blessed to have six kids.

This was a magical time for us and everything seemed to be going great so far.
