The life we always wanted (2)

Chapter seventeen-Part one: The birthday ball

Emma's POV

"Emma, wake up love. We have lots to do today. Its the twins 8th birthday today!" I hear Killian whisper in my ear. I open my eyes and he's staring right at me. "Good morning love! Now I think we should make sure all the decorations and presents are up then wake the twins?" Killian says to me. I kiss him and smile. "That sounds like a good idea." I said softly. We both got out of bed and put on our robes. All the decorations were up so we went to Liam's room and slowly opened the door.

"Liam.... Liam." I say loudly. His eyes flicker and he sat up slowly. "Happy birthday mate! Your a big 8 now!" Killian tells him. He jumps out of bed and hugs us both. "Thank you so much mommy and daddy! Today's gonna be amazing!" Liam says. I kiss his cheek and Killian scruffs his hair. "Yep, tonight is going to be amazing too!" I say to him. 'Now come on let's go get Freya!" Liam asks. We all walked out of his room and down the corridor to Freya's room. Killian turns the handle and pushes open the door.

"Freya? Freya love are you awake?" Killian asks. A little bit of shuffling about in the bed and Freya sits up with her long blonde hair all messed up on top of her head. "Wow, I'm loving your hairstyle." I said laughing as I sat beside her. I fixed her hair properly as she still looked half asleep. "Happy birthday princess. Your a big 8 now." I said kissing her cheek. "Thank you mommy and good morning daddy." She replies slowly. Liam jumped up on her bed too and hugged her. It was the cutsest thing I had ever seen. "Happy birthday Freya!" Liam said into her shoulderas they hugged. "You too Liam!" She replied. "Okay! So who is ready to go down and open some presents?" Killian asked as I stood beside him. "Me,me, me!!!" They both shouted. We let them out and they ran down the stairs.

At the bottom of the stairs Liam and Freya froze. They both looked at each other and screamed. They ran towards the lounge where their presents were. "Wow, look how many there is!" Freya shouts. They both sat down beside their present plies and started to rip open the boxes and wrapping paper. Me and Killian sat down in one of the sofa's and smiled as they opened them. "Thank you so much mommy and daddy' Liam said to us. "Your welcome Liam, now take some of these up to your room while we clean up." I replied to him. Killian got up and helped Liam bring some of his new toys and clothes up to his room.

While they were doing this I noticed Freya sitting on the floor staring at a jewled box with its keys in her hands. "Hey, you okay Freya?" I asked sitting beside her. "I've seen this box before, in a book." She explains to me. "What book? You know we don't like reading books as they are full of nonsence." I replied worried. The library in our castle and village had been locked for years now to stop her finding out about our past and the dark curse. "I know, but it said that on their 8th birthday, the kingdoms next ruler receives a box with a tiara in it that they wear until they are coronated." Freya explains to me. "Freya, you are this kingdoms next ruler. But you shouldn't be worried about it. You will be an amazing ruler and I dont doubt for a second that this kingdom shall love you." I tell her. "Now come on, let's open this box."I smile at her.

Freya pushes in the key and turns it. She lifts the lid and looks inside. She gasps and lifts out a sparkly, jeweled tiara. "Now look how stunning it is." I say as I take it out of her hands. I place it on her head and bring her to a mirror. "Everyone is going to love how gorgeous you will look tonight." I say to her. "I love you mommy, more than you can imagine." Freya tells me. She hugs me tight and I giggle. "I love you too baby girl, now let's get ready for this ball!" I say as my eyes water.

Killian's POV

At 6pm the castle starts to fill up with guests for the twins birthday ball. All the decor was up and it made the castle look amazing. I went into Liam's room to help him with his suit. "Now, look how smart my little prince is." I say laughing. He was struggling to tie his baby blue tie. "Here. Let me help." I say walking over to him. "Now come on, your mommy and sister are waiting for us." I say to him. We walk out of his room and down to the royal entrance where emms and Freya were standing waiting for us. Emma was wearing a big and long red dress just like the one she wore when we traveled back in time. Freys was wearing the same looking dress but it was a pink coral colour." My two stunning girls. Are you both ready?" I asked as I kissed Emma's cheek. "I'm so excited! Let's get going already!" Freya said jumping about. The trumpets sound and the doors open in front of us.
