Paradise

Epilogue

4 Years Later

I smiled, taking the diploma and walking off the stage. I looked up and noticed Liam and the twins smiling at me.

After the ceremony, I ran to Liam jumping in his arms. "I did it." He gave me a quick kiss and put me down. The twins hugged me and I smiled.

"Congratulations mom." I looked at them, smiling.

"Let's go home." Liam wrapped an arm around me and we walked to the car.

"I wish Justin could've came." Liam grabbed my hand and I smiled at him. We pulled up to the house and got out. We walked inside and it was dark. "Why are the lights off?" I flipped the switch and everyone was standing there smiling.

"Surprise!" I giggled and leaned into Liam's side.

"And I thought everyone was just too busy to come to my graduation." After hugging everybody, we sat down.

"Can you come here princess?" I got up and followed Liam's voice to the back yard. "I just wanted to steal you for a minute." I smiled and hugged him.

"Thank you Liam."

"For?"

"Everything. I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for you." I smiled up at him and he smashed his lips to mine. I kissed back, wrapping my arms around his neck and his wrapping around my waist. He traced my lip and I granted him access, his tongue exploring my mouth. I tried to pull away but he placed his hand on the back of my neck.

"Don't swallow my little sister mate." Liam chuckled, pulling away from me. "Congratulations."

"Thank you. That the only reason you came out here?"

"No. Your friends got you some presents and they want you back inside to open them." I smiled and nodded, grabbing Liam's hand. We walked inside and I sat down.

After what felt like hours of opening gifts, I opened the last gift from Keisha and Louis. "Thanks guys but you didn't have to get me all of this stuff. It was just my graduation."

"That's a big moment." I smiled, rolling my eyes. I picked up my nephew, Jacob and he smiled at me. He played with a little toy Logan gave him, laying his head on my chest. "You know your daddy is mean right?" He looked at me and I heard Justin grunt.

"I am not! Give me my son and stop corrupting his brain!" He got up and I hugged Jacob to my chest.

"Lovely vocabulary big brother. But I think I'll pass. I have to spoil him like you did mine." I kissed his cheek and Justin rolled his eyes, taking his son and sitting beside Kyrah. "You're so mean to me." Jacob climbed off Justin and ran to me. He smiled and I picked him up.

"Jay!" He looked at Justin and laughed hugging me.

"You look pwetty auntie." I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you Jay. You're nothing like your daddy." I pinched his cheek and he giggled.

A few hours later, everyone was gone except Keisha, Louis, Justin, and Kyrah. "So what are you going to do now?"

"I don't know." I shrugged leaning into Liam's side. "Probably nothing." My phone buzzed and I got up. I walked in the kitchen, answering the call. "Hello?"

"Hi Paige. Simon here."

"Are you trying to talk to Liam or?"

"No I wanted to talk to you. How would you feel about signing to Syco?"

"Oh my gosh! Are you serious?"

"Yes. I'd love for you to be a client. So will you?" I ran a hand through my hair. "Paige?"

"Can I think about it and call you back?"

"Of course love. I'll talk to you later." I heard a beep and looked at my phone.

"Who was that?" I turned and looked at Liam.

"Simon. He wants me to sign with Syco." He wrapped his arms around me. My phone buzzed again and I saw a message from Ashton.

From Ash the Drummer Boy:
We saw a video of you and want you to sign with Hi or Hey Records.

"And the guys want me to sign to Hi or Hey."

"That's great. Why do you sound upset?"

"I don't know whether I want to be signed or not. They aren't the only ones that asked. My email is full of record companies."

"Well you can think about it and make a decision." I nodded and he pecked my lips. "Now let me see that beautiful smile." He tickled me and I giggled. "Come on." We walked back he sat down pulling me in his lap.

"What happened?"

"Oh nothing. But I've got some record companies contacting me and a few people want me to be a backup dancer."

"That's awesome." I nodded, smiling.

~Liam~

Paige played with her promise ring mindlessly before picking up her phone and calling someone. "Hello? Yes. Thank you for the opportunity. Tomorrow's perfect." She hung up and smiled at me.

"What?"

"I have a meeting with Simon tomorrow to sign my contract." I smiled and pecked her lips.

"That's great baby girl." She nodded and gave me a quick kiss.

"Like I said earlier. It's all thanks to you." She laid her head on my shoulder, grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers. "I love you."

"I love you too."
