Surrounded by friends and family in an enormous large yaht which fits like a thousand people. Life is so far good.  The view overlooking the ocean is breathtaking.

I'm leaning over the railings, sipping a cocktail, watching Jamie in her black and white sundress that fits her and hugs her curves perfectly. Her blonde hair cascading  down her shoulders in waves, keeping an eye on her as she laughs at what her friends are saying.

Jackson comes into view holding Millies arm. Their 10 year old daughter Amelia walks beside them wearing a white tank top with a matching long maxi skirt.

Miles and Madison follow next, walking onto the yaht. Miles holding Aria and Madison holding Lucas while their oldest son, Theo, the energetic 9 year old, runs around wearing a white blouse with white shorts, looking like mini Miles himself.

Gavin and Katie hop on giggling among themselves and the little family they have going on. Their kids are being held by the man Gavin. I can't help but notice how every man is matching with his woman.

Soon enough, everyone is there except the two people who are always late. Typical of them. I loon down at the deck to see them running towards the yaht trying to catch up before we leave. I chuckle to myself.

"What took you guys so long?" Katie says, helping Isabelle up the yaht. Elliot lifts Emily up onto the yaht and follows.

"She made us late." Elliot admits.

"I did not!" Isabelle protests.

"Mommy, did she was doing her makeup." Emily says giggling. I chuckle.

"Typical." I say chuckling as I go in to give Isabelle the biggest hug. I haven't seen her in so long. She's my baby sister. She is maybe 29 years old, but she is a baby and always will be to me.

I glance at Naomi and Theo, posing and taking a picture to show off their matching outfits. Theo wearing a white t-shirt with shorts and Naomi wearing a white crop top with a long maxi skirt, her hair clipped in a heart-shaped bun.

"Quit the famous act, you guys. Live a little." Elliot says

"You're just jealous, uncle." Amara says then they start bickering, and amara pokes her tongue out at Elliot. Cameron and I can't help but laugh at the bantering between these two.

I walk over and snake my hands around Jamie's waist as she talks to the women around her. She leans into my touch as soon as she notices me. I smile and kiss her neck.

"Having fun?" I whisper. She nods.

"I am, yeah."

"And Harry?" Yes, Harry isn't mine, but that little 2 year old already grew attached to me, and I have a special place in my heart. He's mine now. Jamie is mine, which makes Harry mine as well.

"He's playing with Amara."

"Yeah?" I look over my shoulder to see them giggling and jumping up and down.  I smile at that sight. Cute. "Adorable. Glad your having fun. I'll be there if you need me, okay?" She nods

"Okay. You have fun. Don't worry about me." I sigh.

"I guess so. Yeah okay. See you. Love you." I kiss her cheek.

"Love you too." With our final goodbyes, I head back to the men and stand with them leaning over the railings as we watch the sea. The waves overlap one another.

"Tying the knot soon, Noah?" Cameron comes up next to me and hands me a drink. I take it from him.

"You bet I am. I have everything ready. I'm just waiting for the perfect moment."

"So you have the ring ready?" I nod at his question.

"With me right now, but I won't do it tonight. I just have it in case."

"Do what, boys?" Isabelle approaches. I smile, knowing I can't keep anything from her.

"Jamie will be your sister in law isa." I tell her. She squeals.

"Quiet." I warn chuckling.

"Sorry." She whispers but then pulls me into a hug. I'm shocked by the hug but quickly hug her back.

Cameron and I walk to Jamie and I's cabin. I unlock the door and step in, Cameron follows. I walk to my suitcase and unzip it open, digging under all the clothes. I finally pull out a red velvet box.

I open the box, revealing a gold sparkling ring looking up at me. It's the shape of a flower. Sparkling and glistening against the light of the room.

"It's beautiful. The gem on it." Cameron comments. I smile. I'm proud of myself. This ring will be on Jamie's finger soon enough. And I can't wait. How it will fit just right on her finger.
