It's been a couple of years since me and Vincent met, and I'm loving every part of it. The way he treats me, the way he kisses me passionately, I'm definitely falling for him. And I think he knows it too. We are finally married and have two children together. Michael and Kara are married too with no kids, I could understand that because they're both childish. Anyway, I have two girls they are twins, I couldn't be more happy with my life now. I named one Kara and the other one Amelia.

But there is one person who is missing from my life and that's Nathan. Every since that day in New York, I haven't seen him since then and I've been trying to get in contact with him but it's no use. I came up to FoxWorth Enterprises but the workers said I couldn't pay him a visit at all.

I decided to visit him at his condo. I rode up the tall elevator remembering the first time I came here. I looked down at Amelia and smiled, she had her little hand wrapped around mines. She resembles Vincent so much in every way possible. Kara was with Vincent spending quality father and daughter time.The elevator dinged and me and her stepped out, walking to Nathan's door. I knocked twice and the door slowly opened revealing a broken person. He grown a beard and wore a black silk pajama set. If I was wrong, I saw a twinkle in his eyes.

"April?", he blurted out sending me a questioning look . I sent him a reassuring smile. I followed his eyes that trailed to Amelia.

"Nathan, this is Amelia, my daughter.", I said looking down at her smiling. "Say hi Amelia.", but instead she hid behind my leg with a finger in her mouth.

"You have a child?", he said eyes widening. I nodded my head and studied his features again. He seemed to look dull and had saddened eyes. A frown came across my face and as soon as he noticed he motioned for me to come in. "So what brings you here ?", he said walking towards the kitchen while I followed behind with Amelia in my hands. A memory came flashing back when Nathan was fixing me spaghetti and meatballs.

"Hungry?"

"Yeah. What are you cooking?", I said tilting my head over the counter to catch a glimpse of whatever he is making.

"I hope you like meatballs and spaghetti. An Italian favorite", I soon laughed at his enthusiasm and he let out a small giggle also.

"Need help?", I said getting off the stool and walking around the island to the stove.

"No thanks. It's a surprise. Let my chef skills amaze you", he said laughing. I laughed to walking out the kitchen to the living room.

"Okay Mister", I winked at sat on the couch crossing my legs to get comfortable. Reaching for the remote I decided to watch my favorite movie The Hunger Games.

The memory came flashing back like it was right in front of me. I sat Amelia in the stool and Nathan turned around and smiled at her. Something about the way he looked at her made my chest ache, if only he got himself together it would be his child. Why was I thinking that ? "Hey Amelia. Are you thirsty?", he said bending down to her level, which by the way was adorable and she nodded her head yes.

I watched quietly as he swiftly opened up the refrigerator and gave her a box of apple juice. She took it and said thank you. He then turned to me sending off a warning smile. "Amelia, do you think me and your momma can talk for a while?", he said poking out his lip which was cute in a way. I walked her to the small arcade in his condo and left her a while knowing that she can handle herself. I walked back to the kitchen were Nathan was and sat back in the stool.

Vincent POV

"Come on Kara you have to eat your vegetables. There healthy for you.", I said walking around the table to her side and bending next to her. "NO!", she said pushing the plate and folding her arms making a big pouty face. I grabbed her out of the chair and swung her over my shoulders. "Do you know what happens to little girls who don't eat their vegetables?", I said swinging her all around and tickling her. She started laughing uncontrollably just like April once did. Kara reminded me so much of her and I couldn't help but smile.

I sat her back down and her chair and she had a wide cheesy smile plastered across her face. "Are we gonna eat our vegetables now ?", I said raising my eyebrow at her and smiling a bit. She nodded her head and started getting busy. I chuckled a little bit and walked back to my room thinking about April.

She said she went on a business run and took Amelia with her, but I was quite sure she was out trying to find Nathan. He's been the talk of the party for the last few days. But I didn't blame her, he was her first love and I respect every aspect of that. I slipped off my shoes and changed into my pajamas, walking back to the kitchen I saw that Kara was all done and I carried her to bed, reading a small bedtime story and going to my office.

I had a lot of work to attend knowing that Kara was fast asleep.
