The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter sixteen: Forgotten?

Emma's POV

-- eight years later --

"Killian, can you please get Freya and Liam please." I say sitting in the design rooms. "Of course love, I'll be right back." Killian says kissing my cheek. He ran out of the room and down to find Freya and Liam. "Children, always running around castle finding something to do." The seamstress said. "Yeah, always. I've been chasing after them all day." I said laughing. I stood up and walked over to the material rack and stared at the colors. Then all of a sudden I felt someone touch my back. "Hello mommy." I look down and Freya was tapping my back jumping up and down. "Hello my little princess, you excited for tomorrow night?" I asked her. "So excited, my first ball and my 8th birthday." Freya says smiling at me. "Help me choose what colour you want." I said letting her stand on a chair.

Freya looked for a good few minutes before finally picking up a coral pink silk material. "This is the one." She said. "Okay, I'll give it to the seamstress." I said. I help her off the chair and hand it to the seamstress. "I want a big puffy dress with this material" Freya says with an even bigger smile on her face. "Where's Liam may I ask Freya?" I asked her. "Umm I think daddy took him into the other designing room to get his suit made for tomorrow." Freya replied. "Okay well how about we go down to the garden and pick put the new flowers we want to plant for the big day tomorrow." I said lifting Freya like she was a baby again. She nodded and giggled when I lifted her. I set her down again when we came to the stairs. We ran down them like big children and into the garden

"I want pink and yellow roses!" Freya screams. "Freya, we have already had yellow roses. Try something different." I explained to her. "Fine, how about pink roses and purple tulips?" She asked. "Now that is a perfect combo" I said. The gardener agreed and planted some of them around the castle. "We should add blue ones for Liam too mommy." Freya explains. The gardener plants some blue roses too and starts to trim some hedges. "Perfect!" Freya says jumping up and down. It started to get late so we went in to get dinner with Killian and Liam.

Killian's POV

"Daddy, when was your first ball?" Liam asked me as the seamstress measured his arms. "Ummm, when I was your age. My brother and I were celebrating my birthday." I told him. I of course lied which I didn't like to do, but it was for the best. "What happened to your brother, you never talk about him. I talk about Henry all the time!" Liam asked. "Umm, he was a captain of a ship. Just like daddy and he got lost at sea." I said. Yet again lying but lying about my brothers death killed me inside. "My lord. Princess Emma request for you both to come to dinner." A Butler explained to us. I grabbed Liam's hand and we walked down to the dining room. The door opened and Freya and Emma were sitting at the table.

"Hey, you two. How was your dress fitting Freya?" I asked as I helped Liam in to his chair. I sat down beside Emma and kissed her cheek. Dinner was set in front of us and we all ate. "The dress fitting was successful. We actually got a nice dress for Freya and picked our garden decor. Lots and lots of fairy lights." Emma said laughing. "Liam got his suit and it looks very handsome with it on if I do say so myself." I said laughing. "I'm very handsome with my suit on mommy." Liam laughed.

After dinner we brought the twins up to their how separate rooms. I went into Freya's room and Emma went into Liam's. "Daddy, how did you and mommy meet?" Freya says out of nowhere. I stare at her with fear in my eyes. I didn't know how to reply. "Ummm, its kind of hard to explain Freya." I said nervously. "Its okay, I'm a big girl I understand things now." Freya says smiling. I froze. I couldn't lie again but I had to in order to keep the secret a secret. "We....we meet at your mothers 18th birthday ball. We danced together all night long and I fell in love with her." I lied. I hated lying. "Ohh, thats soooo romantic." Freya laughs. "I know, I love you baby girl." I said kissing her cheek. "Goodnight daddy. I love you too." She replied. I turned on her nightlight and closed the door.

Emma was already in bed when I got back in our room. "Hey, you okay?" She asked. "You scared me, I thought you were asleep." I said startled. "You look horrible are you okay?" She asked. "No, no I'm not." I said sitting beside her. "What's wrong?" She said sitting up. "I hate lying to the twins. I can't help but feel bad when I'm talking to them." I say frowning. "It was your idea! We promised to keep it until freya learns about her magic!" Emma says. She hugs me and kisses me. "Get some sleep, you will feel better in the morning." She tells me. I nod and lie down with Emma. "Goodnight love." I whisper in her ear. "Goodnight." She replies.
