This story takes place 8 years after the final chapter of BFC. When Aubrey and Knox get married, which happened a year after they met. So its been nine years since Olivia/Knox/Aubrey's parent(s) passed. So keep that in mind as you read!
(Olivia is 25. Aubrey is 34. Knox is 36. Logan is 33. Jackson is 35. Lucas/Annie are 37/36)
Also the beginning chapters are shorter than my usual amount but as we go they get longer and longer :D I can't help myself with writing long chapters.
Happy Reading!! Hope you all love this story! <3 <3

"Hope you enjoy them." I smiled at Mrs. Granger, handing over the bag filled with her usual pastry order. I found it cute she came in every Tuesday and Friday to pick up pastries for her and her husband.
"Thank you dear."
Hearing the oven timer go off I wiped my hands on my apron and headed for the back. I was instantly met with the smell of freshly baked cinnamon rolls. You'd think after running the bakery everyday for almost a year I'd grow tired of the smell of freshly baked sweets, but no. It was probably the best smell in the world.
I made quick work of pouring icing on the hot rolls, watching it melt and roll down the sides of the pastries. The icing was the best part of a cinnamon roll in my opinion which was why I made mine with extra icing.
Hearing the front door ding, I quickly grabbed the tray and headed back to the front of the store. With it just being me I was doing double duty by baking and running the front. My eyes immediately landed the person walking through the door making my grin. I barely had time to set the rolls on the counter before the sound of squeals of little kids met my ears.
"Auntie Liv!!"
Two cute little heads popped up by the counter, both flashing me toothless grins. I couldn't help but grin back at the faces of my niece and nephew.
"Hey you two hooligans."
"Sorry for just stopping by. These two want to surprise Knox with some cookies after work." My sister-in-law Aubrey apologized coming up to the counter.
"You're totally fine. Any chance to see these two cuties." I scrunched my nose up at them with a grin. My niece Abigail copying me. "So cookies?"
"Yes!" My nephew Leo yelled jumping up and down excitedly.
"Well it's your lucky day cause guess what." I bent over the counter to get closer.
"What!"
"I have cookies in the oven right now." Both sets of eyes got wide at my words. "How about as you wait for the cookies you two share a warm cinnamon roll?" Their eyes never once left me as I moved behind the counter to grab a plate and dish out a warm cinnamon fresh from the oven. Grabbing two forks and some napkins I held them out.
Two little hands snatched the plate and napkins from my hands so fast before running towards an empty table.
"Hey make sure to say 'thank you' to Auntie Liv." Aubrey told the two in a firm voice.
"Thank you Auntie Liv!" The two chorus before promptly ignoring us and diving into the sweet.
"Those two." Aubrey shook her head but the smile on her face never budged. The two of them had both their parents wrapped around their fingers. Just one little look and they were putty. Although I was no better.
"I swear they get bigger each time I see them." I commented shaking my head.
"You're telling me. Just yesterday they were babies and now look at them."
