Paisley Redmond P.O.V

Today is Noah and Ryder's birthday!

My life's have grown a year older, each year getting ready to fit into the world or better a social drama club.

The last four years have passed by in a jiffy! From me knowing I was pregnant till today, many things have changed. Time slipped away like sand!

My children from being mere newborns have became toddlers and will soon be teenagers then adults. Start earning, have a family of their own and what not. Jeez! Now I'm sounding like those typical emotional ranting mothers! But this is the truth, isn't it?

I just wish that both my children get a life full of success, happiness and love.

Anyways, the previous days have been very unpredictable and eventful. After mom had talked with Kyle, she came to me and explained how gulity he felt for what he did to me in the past and how he wanted to me give him another chance. I was furious at her for this, I mean she is my mother, but still she was speaking in his favour! I cried a river because of this, yet mom calmly made me understand everything. She even said she would give a chance to Kyle if she was in my place, leaving me in utter confusion.

Later that evening, Kyle returned with the twins glowing and beaming with excitement as they had planned things for their birthday. It was around 9:30 at night when I told Kyle he could leave if he wanted cause it was late, but he refused saying he already shifted here at Summerfield Drive this morning. I just shrugged and went to do my pending work.

The next days were quite peaceful. At work Mr.Brown told us that he would accompany us to London and won't leave until he is sure all of us are settled there in suitable and comfortable living conditions.

I was even talking to my friends in London regularly, especially Luke. He was stressed but said it would be fine soon he felt. Melissa and Nick were excited about the arrival of their baby girl while Ace and Erica were enjoying their married life and had no plans of kids until next year. Ace often asked me about the problem I was facing, but I always assured him things were under control and I would tell him when the time was right.

Kyle on the other hand, was acting like a completely changed man. Instead of being a self conceited jerk, he was being a true gentleman. It was becoming difficult for me to comprehent whether he was being genuine or sweetly fake. He always gave preference to my choices and decisions, actually being patient and caring. Seeing that side of him I wanted to give him a chance to prove himself, but was in a great delimma. What if he again had a hidden motive behind all this? I had decided to throw this issue at the back of my mind till the twin's birthday.

After finishing making breakfast for the boys. I went to their room and dressed them up as they had already showered.

"Birthday boys?" I called out for them.
They immediately came running to me with big goofy grins plastered on their faces.

"Here we are!" Ryder said jumping like an over excited bunny.

"Mommy wish us happy birthday!" Noah said clapping his hands.

"She already did, Nowah." Ryder said before I could reply.

"So what? I want to hear it again." He with an innocent grin.

"Happy Birthday, my lovelies!" I wished them again crouching down and picking them up. Believe me they were quite heavy, yet I don't mind lifting them at all even if it is tough.

"Thank you mommy!" They both said kissing my cheeks.

I just smiled at them tenderly and realised how fortunate I was to have them in my life.
