Enemies to Lovers - Mattheo Riddle

Chapter Eighteen - New starts

Y/N POV

I held my new baby girl. in my arms. Tears ran down my cheeks as I sat in the bed at the hospital.

"And do you have a name for her?" The nurse said.

Ruelle Bella Riddle." I said to her

"Okay. So when you are ready, you can leave." The nurse said before exiting the room.

"Im so proud of you." Mattheo said as he came up to me and kissed my forehead.

I remembered it so well. It was so similar to when I gave birth to Raelyn and Rhett. Well except for the fact that I didnt have my daughter in a Hogwarts bath tub this time.

"Mom hurry up we are going to be late." Raelyn called to me as we walked to the barrier between platforms nine and ten. Memories flooded my mind of the times I passed through here. Mainly the first and the last time were most vivid.

"Don't worry Rae we've still got a few minutes. " I said to her.
It was Raelyns and Rhetts first year at Hogwarts. I couldn't believe how fast it had gone. It felt like only yesterday I was pushing them out in a Hogwarts bathroom. Heck it felt like only yesterday I was starting Hogwarts.

I pushed Ruelles pushchair towards the wall.
"Okay so Rhett you go with your dad and Rae you come with me and Ruelle." I said to them.

Mattheo nodded at me, put his arm around Rhett to guide him and carefully, as to not draw attention to themselves, walked though the wall.

Then, holding onto the pushchair, me and Raelyn walked through the barrier after them.

We were on platform nine and three quarters.

"Mom, dad, we need to go." I heard Rhett say.

"Yes of course darling." I said to them.

I wrapped arms around my twins and pulled them closer to me.

"Have a good time. Make sure to write." I said to them.

"We will." Raelyn said

Then, once I reluctantly let them go, they went to hug their father.

Once we had said our goodbyes and love you's, they boarded the Hogwarts Express.

Mattheo stepped closer to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulders.
"They're going to be okay. You don't need to worry." He said to me

I couldn't believe their was a time that I absolutely hated Mattheo. It was for a good like three years too.

"Okay, come on. We need to drop Ruelle off with Tom and then we need to get ready." Mattheo said to me.

"I still can't believe Cerys goes to that French School." I said to him.

"I can't believe that Esmeray would rather her daughter go there than be able to see her father." He said

* * *

"Thanks for looking after her for us Tom." I said

"It's been lonely without the girls so I needed a distraction." Tom said back.

"Yeah thanks for this." Mattheo said to his brother.

"You two just go out and enjoy your day." Tom said to the both of us.

We left Tom's house and then we apparated to Riddle Manor.
Originally the Manor was left for Tom but he wanted to live somewhere more discrete with his wife and daughter.
Thats why me, Mattheo, Rhett, Raelyn and Ruelle get to live in it.

"Okay go get into something nice. I need to do something." Mattheo said to me.

I was mega confused but I did what he told me to do.

I gave him a quick peck on the lips and then walked up the stairs to our bedroom.

I looked through my wardrobe until I found the perfect dress to wear.
It was a tight, emerald green maxi dress. I pared it with some slightly heeled shoes.

Then, I sat down at my vanity and got to work.
Firstly, I did my makeup. I didn't do full glam but I did go heavier than I do on a day to day basis. He told me to dress nice after all. He was probably taking me on a surprise date.

Once I was done with my makeup, I curled my hair.
For the finishing touch, I added some silver jewellery. This included some earrings, a pandora necklace and the snake ring Mattheo gave me while we were still in Hogwarts. How I cherished those days. I miss them so much.

I stood up and headed out of mine and Mattheos room.

"Princess are you done?" I heard Mattheo call out to me.

"Yeah why?" I called back. He sounded like he was in the garden. Why was he outside? If he was taking me on a date then he would need to get ready. He wouldn't be hanging around outside in the garden.

"Umm can you come outside?" He called to me. Was that a tone of nervousness in his voice? I think it was you know. What could he be nervous about?

"Yeah I'm coming now." I called before walking over to the door which led out into the gardens.
I took a deep breath, and opened the door.

There were rose petals in a line, leading me towards what I presumed was where  Mattheo was hiding.

I followed them and I let out an audible gasp at what I saw.

Mattheo was standing in the centre of the garden in a black button down shirt with black jeans on.
He was surrounded by a circle of rose petals.

I felt tears well in my eyes as I realised what was going on. It all made sense. Him wanting me to get my nails done and him wanting me to dress nice.

I walked over to him and stepped over the circle of petals, carefull not to step on a single one.

Mattheo looked me in the eyes.

"Y/n Potter, I know you hated me when we first met but I know you don't now. Yes we have our ups and downs, like everyone, but we always seem to work it out. You are the only girl I have ever imagined a future with. Ever since I saw you give birth to our twins, I knew. I knew I would want to spend forever with you."

I covered my mouth as I tried to stop myself from crying and ruining my makeup.

"Well it was even before that. When I first saw you in the sorting ceremony, I knew that was it. I knew I would do anything to make you mine. But, you hated me. You hated me because of what my father did. And there was always Harry and Enzo so I never thought I had a chance. But then, we went to the Yule Ball and my first thought was that I had finally won. I had finally won the girl of my dreams.
"So y/n" Mattheo got down on one knee and pulled a ring box out of his back pocked.

I shook my head in disbelief. I couldn't believe this was actually happening. Please tell me I'm not dreaming because if I am then that's just sick.

"Will you marry me?"
