IT WAS ALWAYS YOU(complete)

MY NEW LIFE

*still 4 years ago- months after the twins were born*

After the birth of my kids, I quickly adjusted to the twins and their needs. For the next five weeks, I realize that both twins were so much like Carter. Both twins have his striking clear blue sky eyes and features and the only thing they have of me were their skin tones and Faith has my bright orange hair while Noah has Carters raven black hair color. For the first weeks since we were home, Aunt Clare and Sarah would take turns sleeping with me and the twins so that I could have enough time and rest to heal properly. 

After 5 months the twins were growing to be very demanding and full of life. Every time I look in their eyes, I see their father, but it doesn't stop me from loving them unconditionally and undeniably. Things were going okay with school too, I managed to stay on track with my courses and my grades are okay. Mom and dad calls every 2 weeks to check up on us especially the twins. My life had gone from being a teenager to being the best mother to my kids. Everyday turns into a challenge and I make it through because looking at the twins  gives me strength. And no matter what I saw over the course of the month and the years that pass by, the twins grew and the more they did, the  more they turn out to be spitting images of their father. 

*PRESENT*

When the twins turned 2, I learned that Carter had inherited his parents company and was always seen with Chelsea Briggs, the bimbo who had tried to separate us while we were together. Oh yeah Chelsea's parents were the second richest people in my town and I guess by the way she had that fake smile on her face, Stacy( Carter's mom) approves wholeheartedly of her. And apparently I could care less. I have my twins and my life was great.

But that was 2 years ago. 

The twins are now four and are attending school. I am currently a professor at the University where I took my courses online with, Sarah is a big time defense attorney lawyer. Aunt Clare's catering business was blooming and was a great way to exercise and be light on my feet.  Things were going great. My job as a professor was given to me when I earned my masters 8 moths after earning my bachelors in education. I am still in awe because I was only 21 and I am already a Professor. Even though I had my kids 4 years earlier, I had managed to maintain my good grades and stay in track with my course and i am proud of myself for I know that I earned my position because I never gave up on myself.

This morning, the twins were already in school and I was having my coffee when an incoming video call sounded from my iPad. I looked at it and was surprised to see Sarah's laughing face looking at me. I accepted the call and Sarah's voice poured out and filled the house, "Lee, I miss you. Where are the munchkins? Wheres mom? Why aren't you at work?", she bombarded me with these questions and I held up my hand palm facing her and she stopped. "Why are you calling me, when your supposed to be in Paris for the case?" She just shrugged and said, " Can you open the door for the package I sent?" I put my mug down and wadded over to the door while still holding the iPad. Right when the door opened, I nearly dropped the iPad as Sarah launched herself at me with a squeal. We hugged and I was laughing so hard that I could barely stand. She let go of me and went back out to grabbed her suitcase and dragged inside a good looking hunk that I didn't noticed was standing there until she dragged him inside. " Lee, this is Jordan, my fiancé." I was so excited that instead of shaking his outstretched arm, I gave him a hug and then let go and said, "It's so nice to finally put a face to the name." Welcome to the family Jordan. Jordan laughed and said thanks. I quickly messaged Aunt Clare telling her to come home right away, but she replied and said that she's with a costumer and she could't get free until noon at the latest. 

*Sarah and Jordan(you can imagine your own)*

As soon as Sarah and Jordan got settled in, we had breakfast and then we decided that we will surprised Aunt Clare at the shop. I got in my truck and Sarah and Jordan got into Sarah's car that was parked in the garage. Oh I forgot to mention that my truck was still in its new condition as the day mom and dad gave it to me. I never got the chance to use the truck that much because I knew that the twins couldn't be carried and driven around in my truck, so I used Aunt Clare's minivan, which she gladly signed over to me. Which was quite homey and useful. I use my truck when I go to work and the minivan when I take the kids to wherever we go. Aunt Clare takes the twins and pick them up from school everyday.

When we got to the shop I went in to find Aunt Clare deep in conversation with old Mrs. Greenswood and a very good looking woman whom I think was her niece. I called Sarah and told her to wait for five more minutes but then Aunt Clare noticed me and said something to Mrs. Greenswood and she just waved her hand and said its okay. Aunt Clare then told me to sit down to sit down while she grabbed us ice teas from the back. I texted Sarah to come in and they came in and sat next to me. Aunt Clare walked in and was so surprised that she dropped the ice teas with a loud yell, "Sarah" and ran around the counter to give Sarah a big hug and then let go when Sarah said "mom too tight." She laughed and let go but then said, "And who is this handsome hunk of meat?"( I know, Aunt Clare loves to exaggerate). Sarah introduced Jordan and Aunt Clare declared, "Well, its nice to finally put a face to the name." she gave Jordan a hug and told him to sit down. Sarah went around to the counter to clean up bottles Aunt Clare dropped and I went over Mrs. Greenswood and her niece and chatted until Aunt Clare said that me, Sarah and Jordan need to. I told them I had to go to work and that I'll see them later. I walked out, got in my car and headed to work.
