Always and Forever | Sequel

Chapter 22

//5 years later\\
"Olivia come on its your first day!" I yelled from the kitchen. I heard tiny footsteps come down the stairs and saw Olivia appear with her backpack and her doll that Cameron and Alex got her.

Its 2023 and everything is completely different since 2018. Our lives have been great and I hope it stays that way. Cameron got married two years ago and already has a newborn baby. Brianna is still going on strong with Matthew and he proposed to her two months ago. Gabi on the other hand she's living her life and traveling around the world. Nash and I you ask. We're great but we do have our hands full.

I walked upstairs to see Nash still in bed and our baby boy Harrison in his hands. I smiled at the sight of them together and went back downstairs. I quickly grabbed my bag and car keys.

"Olivia come on." I smiled and called her name. She came towards me and I carried her in my arms. "You excited for today?" I asked and she nodded. We walked out of the house and I put her into the car. As I was buckling her in she grabbed my head and made kissy faces.

"Mama?"

"Yeah mija?"

"Do you have candy?"

"No I do not have candy its to early." I giggled and turned on the tv in the car so she could watch.

Today was the first day of kindergarten for Olivia and I was feeling uneasy. This was the first time I ever left her somewhere without Nash or I.

I unbuckled Olivia and grabbed her backpack. Once she got out of the car she ran over to Faith, her friend since she was three. I smiled and walked over to them.

"Hey girls."

"Hi Mrs. Grier." Faith said.

"Hi Faith." I smiled. "Ok Olivia I'll be back for you at three ok?"

"Yeah mama." she smiled.

"Here." I handed her the backpack. "I love you."

"I love you too."

"Can I get a kiss goodbye?" I asked. With that she hugged and and kissed my cheek.

"Ok I'll be back, I love you." I kissed her one more time and watched her leave with Faith.

Once I got into my car I cried a little bit because I've never left her anywhere alone. I started the engine and drove home.

When I got home I could hear Harrison giggling and Nash laughing. I closed the door and they stopped.

"Mama!" I could see Harrison running towards me.

"Hey how's my baby boy?" I kneeled down to hug him. I carried him in my arms and went over to see Nash holding a bag and flowers.

"Happy Birthday!" He said.

"Is it really August 19th?" I laughed.

"I can't believe you forgot your own birthday." he laughed along with me.

"Thank you, I love you." I pecked his lips.

"Mama! Kiss." Harrison pointed to his cheek.

"Oh yes how could I forget you?" I said and kissed his face all around. "I swear it's like we cloned you and then Harrison came out."

"Hey." Nash pouted.

"Ok maybe you're a little bit cuter." I said and kissed him.

"Ok open your gift." Nash broke the kiss and clapped his hands. I set Harrison down on the couch and picked up the gift. I pull out the first item and it was a pink thong.

"Oh my God Nash!" I laughed and slapped his shoulder.

"Ok ok there's more don't worry." He laughed. I reached in the bag and pulled out a card made by the kids, a box that was wrapped in wrapping paper, and a photo album. I unwrapped the box and opened it to see a bracelet that had the saying 'always and forever' and their names on it. I opened the photo album to see pictures of all of us, and at the end a picture of Nash and I on our wedding day.
