HEATHER | chapter 38

Taylor turns around in the bed to face Ricky, only to find it empty.

Right, she had forgotten both of them are sleeping in seperate hotels right now.

You may ask why?

Today is their wedding day. They are getting married in exactly 11 hours, 14 minutes and 47 seconds.

The blonde sits up in the large bed, scanning the room cause she knows the bed should not be taken by one person right now.

"Nate?" The woman calls out, waiting for an amswer of her son.

Yep, the twins are born. They right now are 2 years old, and they are the absolute best thing in both Ricky and hers life.

Ricky and her knew the wedding would take place after the birth if their kids, but two years wasn't what  they expected.

They just wanted to make sure their children were old enough before the wedding would take place.

They figured they would be old enough now.

Malia currently is with her father, while Nathan stayed with Taylor for the night.

"Nate?" Taylor repeats, getying out of the bed when he does not answer.

She crosses her arms as she spots him on the floor in the little kitchen area, starring up at her with innocent eyes.

"Great, you ate chocolate at 9 in the morning, why not?" She sighs, looking at his little face which is covered with chocolate.

She knows he will be hyper the whole day now.

"Sorry?" He asks, noticing his mom isn't happy with him right now but not sure what he did wrong.

"It's okay." She sighs, leaning down to pick him up. "Let's clean that face, huh? Then we can get some breakfast and after that you can see daddy again."

Nate his eyes lit up by the word. "Daddy!"

He had been asking non stop about him last night, clearly not used to Ricky not being there when he falls asleep.

That makes two of us. Taylor had thoughf as she tried to explain he would see him tomorrow.

-

Ricky is currently sitting on a couch, his daughter sitting in his lap as she is leaning against his chest.

"Auntie Gina just texted me that mommy is almost here, Mal."

He can't help but smile as his daughter's eyes seen to lit up at his words.

Just like him she doesn't like to be away from Taylor for a long time.

Not that 24 hours is a very long time, but for them it is.

He has known Taylor his whole life, he is not used to being away from her, infact they have always been attached by the hip, and when they started dating ten years ago that only got worse.

Constantly sneaking into the other their room just for some cuddles only to fall asleep together and wake up together.

Now they still can do that, except they don't have to climb trough each other's windows and instead of an alarm waking them up it are their twins who have somehow made their way into the bedroom.

And how much he wished their kids weren't trying to climb into their bed at 6 in the morning, he loves them and wouldn't want his life to be any different.

"Daddy!" The man is awakened from his thoughts as an little boy runs into the room, the little curls he got from his dad bouncing on his head.

"Hey, buddy!" Ricky smiles, picking up his boy and placing him next to his sister on his other leg.

"How's mommy doing?" How selfish it may be, he only was thinking about his soon to be wife and how she is doing.

The girl her eyes widden as she realizes her mom is here somewhere, and instantly leans away from his chest to climb off his lap and look for her mom.

"Whoah, sweetie." Ricky chuckles, gently placing his arm on her stomach to stop her incase she falls onto the ground.

"Mommy!" She exclaims, pouting as she looks up at Ricky, indicating she wants to get off.

"I know you want to see mommy, trust me I do. But you have to wait a little longer, okay Mal?"

Gina had mentioned in her text how she will get Malia so the girl wouldn't look for her self. When Ricky texted back he could drop her off she answered with some warnings about how he could not see the bride before the wedding.

Malia huffs, crossing her little arms as she leans back against his chest, the pout still on her face as she is trying to look angry but instead looking absolutely adorable in Ricky's eyes.

He can't help himself as he leans down to press a few loud kisses on her face, which causes her to let out an adorable giggle.

"Where's auntie gina, Nate?" Ricky isn't sure how long he can keep his duaghter from running off anyways.

"I'm here. That dude can run fast for his age. I put him down for one second and gone he is!" Gina exclaims as she walks into the room.

"Already losing my children, are we Gi?"

"He lost me, not the other way around." Gina shrugs her shoulders. "Mal? Wanna see mom?"

Malia instantly nods her head. "Yes, yes!"

Ricky allows Gina to pick up his daughter from his lap and place her on her hip. "How's Lory?"

Ricky also stands up, placing Nathan on his hip the way Gina did with Malia.

"She's fine." Gina answers. "Missing you but fine."

The skater smiles. "Tell her I miss her too, alright?"

"I will. And I mean what I said, you have to wait till tonight to see her. No funny buisseness." She points her finger into his chest.

He rolls his eyes. "I know, I know."

He is sure he can wait, they got a whole life together after this anyways.
