Love Story - Anthony Bridgerton x Princess Reader

I Loved You From The Very First Day

Eight months had flown by in a joyful whirlwind, and now Yn and Anthony sat propped up in their bed, gazing down in awe at the tiny miracles nestled between them. Their son, Arthur, was fast asleep, his tiny fist curled around Yn's finger, while their daughter, Brielle, looked up at them with wide, curious eyes, her gaze shifting between her parents.

Anthony reached out, gently brushing a hand over Brielle's soft hair, his expression a mixture of pride, wonder, and love. He shook his head slightly, a soft chuckle escaping him. "I still can't believe we had twins," he murmured, his voice filled with awe. "Two of them... at the same time."

Yn laughed softly, glancing over at him, her eyes alight with joy and exhaustion. "Neither can I," she admitted, a warm smile spreading across her face. "There were moments I thought it was impossible. But now... look at them." Her gaze shifted back to Arthur and Brielle, and her heart swelled with a love so profound it almost overwhelmed her.

Anthony leaned over, pressing a gentle kiss to Yn's temple. "You are incredible," he whispered, his voice filled with admiration. "You brought them into this world, and I will never be able to thank you enough for that."

Yn's eyes softened, and she leaned into him, her heart filled with gratitude and love. "It wasn't easy," she admitted with a quiet laugh. "But it was worth every moment."

Brielle cooed softly, her tiny hand reaching up, as if drawn to her father's voice. Anthony reached down, letting her grasp his finger, and a soft smile spread across his face as he felt her small but firm grip. He looked up at Yn, his gaze warm and full of pride. "They're perfect," he whispered. "Both of them."

Yn nodded, a tear slipping down her cheek as she took in the sight of their little family. "I love you, Anthony," she said softly, her voice thick with emotion. "I love our family."

He looked at her, his eyes mirroring her sentiment, and leaned in to press a gentle kiss to her lips. "I love you too," he replied. "And I promise, no matter what, I'll always be here for you and for them."

As they sat together, nestled close with their newborn twins between them, Yn and Anthony found themselves drifting into a comfortable silence, each lost in thought as they gazed down at Arthur and Brielle. After a moment, Yn looked over at Anthony, a soft, nostalgic smile tugging at her lips.

"Do you remember," she began softly, her voice barely above a whisper, "the first day we met? That morning under the tree?"

Anthony's eyes softened with the memory, a faint smile appearing on his face as he looked at her. "How could I ever forget?" he replied, his tone filled with warmth. "I was out on my usual morning ride, and there you were, hiding in the grass, completely lost in that book of yours. I couldn't believe it - a young lady, reading alone, far from the watchful eyes of society."

Yn laughed, shaking her head as she remembered her own surprise at seeing him approach. "I thought you'd tell me off for being there," she admitted. "But instead, you just asked if I was all right, as if it was perfectly normal to stumble upon a young woman, in a field, reading in the middle of a field."

Anthony chuckled, reaching over to tuck a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "I was curious," he said, his gaze tender as he remembered that first encounter. "You looked so... free. And when we started talking, I could tell you were different. You had this fire, this passion for life that I'd never seen in anyone before."

Yn's smile softened, and she leaned into his touch, her heart swelling with the memories of all the secret meetings and stolen moments they had shared after that day. "It feels like a lifetime ago," she murmured. "All those mornings and nights we spent by that tree, sharing stories, dreaming about a life we never thought we could have together."

Anthony nodded, his gaze drifting to the twins as he spoke. "We came from such different worlds," he said softly, a note of awe in his voice. "A viscount and a princess... who would have thought we'd end up here, with a family of our own?"

Yn's eyes filled with emotion, and she looked down at Arthur and Brielle, their tiny faces so peaceful in sleep. "If someone had told me that day under the tree that this is where we'd end up, I wouldn't have believed them," she whispered. "But I knew, even then, that there was something special about you. Something that made me feel... understood."

Anthony's hand found hers, his fingers intertwining with hers as he squeezed gently. "I felt the same way," he replied, his voice filled with sincerity. "I may not have known where our path would lead, but I knew that I wanted to be a part of your life. And now..." He trailed off, looking down at their children with a soft smile. "Now, I can't imagine life any other way."

Yn leaned her head against his shoulder, a sense of peace and completeness settling over her. "From that field under the tree to here, to this moment... it's been an incredible journey," she murmured, her voice thick with emotion. "And I wouldn't change a single thing."

Anthony pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head, his arms wrapping around her and their children. "Neither would I," he whispered. "Every challenge, every stolen moment, every promise we made to each other... it all led us here, to this life we've built together."

They sat in comfortable silence, each lost in memories and the quiet joy of the present. Yn knew that their story had been full of unexpected twists and turns, but as she held their twins and felt Anthony's arm around her, she realized that every step had been worth it. They had built a life rooted in love, resilience, and the bond they'd first formed under that tree so many months ago.

As they looked down at Arthur and Brielle, Yn and Anthony knew that their journey was far from over - but whatever came next, they would face it together, just as they always had, side by side.
