5 years later...

Robyn's P.O.V.
"And there we go!" I grinned, putting the cakes in the oven, "Well done Parker! You did a great job!" I high fived him, sending a cloud of flour up into the air.

"Mummy can we eat them?" He giggled, pointing at the cakes in the oven. I laughed.

"No not yet honey, you have to wait for them to cook!" I grinned, kneeling down on the floor. Smiling, he jumped into my lap and wrapped his little arms around my neck. I still can't believe he's five years old already! He's now got a full head of dirty blonde hair and big brown eyes, just like Thomas, but he's got my smile. Pulling away, he looked at me and giggled.

"Mummy, you've got fower all over your face!" I laughed at how he said fower instead of flour.

"Have I?" I said with wide eyes, wiping my hands on my face to get rid of it. But instead, I just spread more flour all over my face.

"Mummmmmy!" He laughed. I loved his laugh. It was so adorable. Just then, I heard the front door open.

"I'm home!" Thomas called from the hallway.

"Daddy!" Parker screamed, running towards Thomas as he came into the kitchen. Chuckling, Thomas picked up Parker and ruffled his hair.

"Hey little guy! How's your day been?" He said, bouncing Parker up and down in his arms.

"Me and mummy baked cakes! And mummy got flour all over her face!" Parker laughed, pointing at me. Thomas burst into a fit of laughter when he saw me.

"What did you do Robyn? You know that only Parker can play with the flour!" He laughed, walking towards me. He leaned in to kiss me but I was too quick for him. I grabbed a handful of flour and chucked it at his face.

"Ahhhh!" He screamed covering his face with his hands. Me and Parker both howled with laughter. Thomas' face was white and there was flour in his hair.

"Right, I'm sorry Parker, but daddy has got to teach mummy here a lesson!" He smirked, putting Parker down on the floor next to Smudge's bed. Parker absolutely loved Smudge, so he sat down on the edge of his bed and wrapped him in a hug.

Meanwhile, Thomas turned back to me and grabbed the flour bag from the kitchen top. I tried running away from him around the kitchen table, but he grabbed me round the waist and spun me round. He chucked the entire, yes the entire bag of flour over my head and I screamed. It turned my hair white and my clothes too! Thomas laughed and laughed and laughed, along with Parker who shouted out 'Daddy got mummy!'.

"I really don't like you right now!" I laughed, wiping the flour from my eyes. Grinning, Thomas put his hands on my shoulder blades and pulled me towards him. He pressed his lips to mine and kissed me.

"How about now?" He chuckled, pulling away. I laughed at him.

"Much better!" I grinned.

That night...

"Goodnight Parker! Sleep well!" I smiled, kissing him goodnight. Before I could pull away, he circled his little arms around my neck and hugged me.

"Mummy, can I ask you something?" He asked quietly.

"Yes of course you can!" I smiled, sitting next to him and stroking his hair. I felt Thomas sit down behind me and kiss the top of my head.

"Mummy, will I ever have a brother? Everyone at school has one and I know I have you, daddy and Smudge, but I really want a brother!" He said sadly, fiddling with my fingers as he did.

"Um, Parker, you know that if mummy and daddy have another baby, we can't tell if it's going to be a boy or a girl!" I smiled, feeling Thomas squeeze my hand as I did.

"But can't you just try? I mean, how do you even have babies?" Parker asked with big eyes. Bloody hell! The one question that every parent dreads their kid to ask them. Especially at the age of five! Clearing my throat, I looked to Thomas who chuckled.

"Um well, when mummy and daddy love each other very much, they um," And then it came to me, "They sit around a big cauldron, and gather together all the spell books they can find. They create a spell, putting in all the things they want their child to be. For example, when you were created, we made you cute, funny and very curious!" I laughed, tapping his nose with my finger. He giggled.

"So, do you think you could create a spell for a baby brother?" He said quietly.

"If you want us to we can!" Thomas smiled, "Now it's time you got to bed mister!"

"Okay, goodnight mummy and daddy! I love you!" Parker smiled, kissing is both goodnight. As we got up, Smudge jumped up on Parker's bed and snuggled down next to him.

"Aw look, someone's come to sleep with you!" I grinned, stroking Smudge's little head. As the two of them closed their eyes, I quietly left his room and shut the door behind me. Thomas was stood there waiting for me.

"That was the cutest explanation for how kids are made I have ever heard!" He grinned as we made our way downstairs.

"Why thank you! Let's just hope he doesn't gather all the books he can find and try and make one himself!" I laughed, collapsing on the sofa. Chuckling, Thomas sat down next to me and stroked my hair as I leant against his chest.

"So you wanna have another one?" He asked quietly, drawing invisible circles on my head. I turned my head to look up at him.

"Only if you want to!" I grinned, as he kissed my nose.

"Well, you did just kinda promise our son that we would!" He laughed, before he began leaving a trail of kisses down my neck.

"What, you mean like, right now?" I asked, as he pulled away. He rose his eyebrows at me and I giggled.

"You sir, are one of a kind!" I laughed as he picked me up and headed back upstairs to our bedroom. Shutting the door behind us, he lay me down on the bed and lay down on top of me with his legs entwined in mine. He pressed his lips to mine, and they moved perfectly together. Well, here we go again.

One year later...

My name is Robyn Brodie-Sangster. I'm now 31 years old and I'm married to the one and only Thomas Brodie-Sangster. I first met Thomas when I shared a dorm room with him in university. I fell for him the second I first gazed into his big brown eyes and I still do whenever I look at them now. Slowly, we fell for each other, and although there have been bad times in our past, we have forgotten them. We've forgotten about Steph, about Logan and Daniel. We've left all that behind us. And now, we live in an old Tudor house in the country, just outside of London and with our two beautiful baby boys, Parker and Peter (yes, don't judge!) and a cocker spaniel named Smudge.
